I love a good party. The types of parties that end up in everyone drinking a bit too much which requires them in staying over are the best. Knowing that when we all wake up the next morning, it’s going to warrant a very hungover trip to McDonalds. However, in my pre-party, sober ‘planning state’, I am sent into a frenzy trying to allocate guests to rooms without overcrowding each other. This ultimately ends up in a guest or two being given the dreaded sofa bed. All of my memories of sofa beds have been more than unpleasant which has made me determined to provide my sofa guests the best night’s sleep I can possibly give them with these seven tips. Obviously, it starts with a quality sofa bed, so Visit Domayne Australia for a great range of sofa beds online and in store.
Fresh Bedding
There is nothing like getting into bed with beautiful fresh clean sheets so a sofa bed should be no different. Investing in quality bedding such as sheets with a high thread count means that your guests can drift off to sleep in pure comfort and not feel like they have been designated the ‘old’ sheets.
Fluffy Pillows
One thing that sofa beds are known for is the lack of support. That is why it is crucial that you provide your guests with quality, plush pillows that will give them a good night’s sleep. Don’t sacrifice comfort for style and make sure that you keep it soft and simple for your guests.
It’s better to have too much than not enough!
Even if you’re nice and warm in your bedroom upstairs, there’s a big chance that you guests on the sofa bed downstairs might be catching a lot of cold air. Always give your guest the option of more blankets by storing them close to your sofa bed. The Domayne exclusive Avellino Fabric Sofa Bed features an in-built storage compartment so that you can keep extra pillows and blankets close by. With a bold structure and neutral colours, this sofa will maintain style while still delivering on exceptional comfort.
Mattress Toppers
While mattresses overtime can wear out, you don’t need to splurge on an entirely new one to provide your guests with quality comfort. By adding a mattress topper, you can revitalise your current mattress and strengthen the support given to your guests as they sleep.
A Quality Frame
It’s hard to get to sleep in a bed that isn’t your own. The start of the night usually consists of a bit of tossing and turning until you can get that spot just right. The last thing you want is for the frame to squeak all the while you try to drift off to bed.
Clean It!
Ensuring the mattress and lounge itself are clean are one of the most important things to keep in mind. Even if you go to the trouble of dressing your pull out lounge with high quality sheets, your guest will immediately feel uncomfortable if they can sense that their bed for the night isn’t clean. Image is everything so it is crucial that you keep style in mind. This Lex 2 Seater Sofa Bed is a great example of contemporary style without the ridiculous price tag that sometimes accompanies it.

Good Lighting
Staying on a sofa bed is unfamiliar enough as it is. Giving your guests soft lighting so that they can get their bearings in the middle of the night is a must. Make sure that your guest can easily turn the light on and off so they aren’t disturbed throughout the night.
Staying on the sofa bed doesn’t have to be the curse that many make it out to be. While there are many negative connotations and memories attached to the idea of a sofa bed, if you invest in a quality set and put a little extra effort into maintaining it, you might even have guests fighting over it.
