Not every home has room for a spare bedroom. Sometimes the study becomes a guest room. Sometimes the living room is a place for your partner when they snore. That’s where sofa beds shine.

Our sofa bed buyers guide
A sofa bed is arguably one of the hardest-working pieces of furniture in the home. It takes on many jobs. It’s where you sink into after a long day, stretch out with a good book and a comfortable place for guests to rest.
Is a sofa bed right for your home
A sofa bed can be a great addition to your home if you have friends or family staying over or just like extra space for lounging. It's worth considering if your spare room doubles as a home office, or if you're looking to make the most of a smaller apartment.
A few questions can help you decide:
- Do you host overnight guests?
- Could a guest room be put to better use when no one's visiting?
- Are you short on space in your home?
- Will it be used occasionally, or become part of your everyday routine?
- Why choose a sofa bed over a regular coach

FAQs about sofa beds
What's the difference between a sofa bed and a regular sofa?
Sofa beds are designed so that they can switch from sitting to sleeping easily. Unlike a regular sofa, sofa beds are built with a mechanism that lets you switch from sitting to sleeping in seconds, making them ideal for spare rooms, or small spaces.
What are the different types of sofa beds, and which is easiest to use?
Sofa beds generally fall into a few types, but they work differently when it comes to how they are used. Pull-out sofa beds are the ones you’ll see most commonly in homes. The mattress sits under the seat and pulls forward when needed. Fold-out sofa beds work by hinging the seat and back down to form the bed. There are also simpler fold-out mattress styles that sit directly on the floor. They’re easy to set up, but offer less support.
How do I choose the right sofa bed for my room and how I'll use it?
Start with your space. Measure the room properly so you know what you’re working with, both in sofa mode and when it’s pulled out as a bed. Then think about how it will be used. Will it mainly function as a sofa and only become a bed occasionally, or will it be used more regularly for sleeping? Once you’re clear on space and use, it becomes easier to choose a sofa bed that fits both your room and your routine.
Is the Slideaway Sofa Bed comfortable enough to sleep on every night, or just for guests?
The Slideaway Sofa Bed is built to be comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep night after night. The flat-deploy mattress and slatted platform provide support closer to a real bed than a fold-in-half sofa bed. If you’re unsure, we recommend visiting one of our showrooms to feel it for yourself. Cat naps encouraged.
How comfortable is the Eva Slideaway as a bed?
We don’t compromise on comfort. The Slideaway Sofa Bed is designed with supportive memory foam cushions that feel soft to sink into, while still holding their shape overnight. Generously sized for two sleepers, it’s a sofa bed that works just as well for guests, though don’t be surprised if you end up claiming it for yourself.
How long does it take to convert the Slideaway from sofa to bed?
The Slideaway Sofa Bed uses a smooth sliding mechanism, so you can go from sofa to bed in a matter of seconds. No fiddly setup like traditional pull out sofa beds, it’s designed to feel easy and intuitive, so you can simply slide it out when you need extra sleeping space.
What size bed does the Slideaway Sofa Bed convert to, and how many people does it fit?
The Slideaway Sofa Bed is a 3-seater sofa that opens into a double bed, designed to comfortably sleep two adults. When extended, the sleeping surface measures 188 cm wide with 117 cm of sleeping space. It’s designed as a double and isn’t available as a 2-seater or queen size.
Can the Slideaway covers be washed?
Absolutely. We know life can get messy, and we want you to feel comfortable with your sofa bed without worrying about sticky fingers or spills. The fabric is hardwearing and easy to care for, regular vacuuming will help keep it looking fresh. When your sofa bed needs a deeper clean, just unzip the covers, remove the inserts, and machine wash at up to 30°C (no tumble drying). For best results, avoid harsh cleaning products and wipe up spills quickly with a cloth or paper towel. Full care instructions are on the label if you need them.
Does Eva deliver sofa beds to regional areas?
Yes, we deliver sofa beds across Australia, including regional areas. Weekend and regional deliveries may incur additional shipping costs depending on your location, which will be shown at checkout before you place your order.
How fast is delivery for the sofa bed?
Delivery timing depends on where you are, but we offer fast weekday delivery across metro areas. You’ll see all available delivery dates at checkout before you lock anything in, with coverage across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Hobart.
What warranty does the Eva Slideaway Sofa Bed come with?

You can find all the details in our Terms of Service if you’d like to read more.
Can I try a sofa bed in person before buying?
Yes, you can.

Both spaces are set up like real homes, so you can get a proper feel for how the sofa bed might feel in your living room or spare room.
