Sofa beds have come a long way since the old futons from the ’90s. You know, the ones your parents probably had growing up and aptly named “rootons”. Yeah, those. Nowadays, they’re a whole lot more comfortable, probably moreso than that old lumpy mattress and creaky bed frame you’ve been sleeping on.
Plus, they’re a great way to accommodate extra house guests if you live in a tiny apartment or a house full of flatmates. Now, we know what you’re thinking, they must be super expensive — but honestly, because you’re getting a comfy couch and a bed all in one, they’re pretty reasonably priced.
Here are some of the best sofa beds in Australia that are worthy of your guests (or yourself on a scat Sunday!).
The Best Sofa Beds in Australia 2025
The Best Overall Sofa Bed: Emma Sleep
Let’s start with Emma Sleep’s. It’s a simple, classic design with some fun modern twists, like built-in storage compartments in the armrests, and a lush two-sided cushion design. Plus, it’s a spacious three-seater when you fold that baby up.

The Comfiest Sofa Bed: Koala
If you can’t quite fit a three-seater in your humble abode, you’ll be pleased to know the Koala Cushy Sofa Bed comes in three different sizes — 1.5, two and three-seater options. According to one of our writer’s reviews, it’s as comfortable as it looks: “I slept like an absolute log. I can safely say that I have never slept so well on a floor in all my life.” Not bad, not bad.

The Most Aesthetic Sofa Bed: Lounge Lovers
The Happy Two-Seat Sofa from Lounge Lovers isn’t only incredibly stylish, it’s ergonomic, too. It can fold out to lie fully flat like a mattress, or partially so it transforms into a recliner. We love a multi-use icon!
