3 Seater Corner Sofa Beds

What is a 3 seater corner sofa bed?

A 3 seater corner sofa bed is a clever two-in-one: a roomy, L-shaped corner sofa that gives you sociable seating for the family by day, and converts into a bed when you need somewhere for guests to sleep. It's one of the most space-smart pieces you can buy, saving you from finding room for both a sofa and a spare bed — ideal for a spare room, a study, a snug or a busy living room. These are 3-seater-sized corners in soft fabric. To see the full choice of sofa beds across the store, our sofa beds collection is a good place to start.

How does it convert to a bed?

Each corner sofa bed converts from a sofa into a bed, but the exact way it does so varies by model — some pull out, some fold down, and others use a click-clack backrest that lowers flat. Because of that, and because the resulting bed size differs from one design to another, the product page is always the best guide to how a particular sofa bed works and what you'll get. As a general rule they're designed to be straightforward to open out and put away, making them practical for occasional overnight guests. If you'd like us to confirm exactly how a specific model works, our showroom team are happy to help. To compare the wider choice, our sofa beds collection is a helpful reference.

Is there storage?

Many corner sofa beds include handy storage — often a compartment under the chaise or seat, perfect for keeping spare bedding, pillows or throws close to hand for when guests stay. However, this varies by model, so it's not something we can promise across the whole range: the product page will tell you whether a particular corner sofa bed has storage and how much. It's well worth checking if built-in storage is important to you, as it makes the piece even more practical for a smaller home. To browse other space-smart options, our corner sofas collection is a good reference.

What material is it?

These corner sofa beds are upholstered in soft, woven fabric — warm and cosy to sit on, and inviting for both everyday lounging and overnight guests. We keep fabric clearly distinct from leather and from leather-look Leather Aire, so you always know what you're buying; fabric has its own comfortable, textured feel and is cared for by vacuuming and spot-cleaning. The exact fabric detail is shown on the product page. To explore the wider fabric choice across the store, our fabric sofas collection is a good reference.

What colours are available?

There are three versatile colours. Black is smart and forgiving, hiding everyday marks well, while grey is the popular all-rounder — a contemporary neutral that works with almost any scheme and, as a mid-tone, is reasonably forgiving of day-to-day life. Cream is a soft, light option that makes a room feel airy and welcoming, though as a paler shade it shows everyday marks more readily than the darker tones, so it rewards a little more care — worth bearing in mind on a piece that doubles as a guest bed. Each product photo shows the exact shade. To compare grey and neutral tones across the store, our grey sofas page shows the wider choice.

Is cream practical?

Let's be honest about a pale sofa bed. Cream looks beautiful and keeps a room feeling light, but paler shades show everyday marks and the odd spill more readily than darker tones, so they reward a little more regular care — and because a sofa bed sees use as both a sofa and an occasional bed, it's worth thinking about. In fabric that means vacuuming regularly, blotting spills promptly and cleaning lightly and often. If your household is especially busy, or the piece will see a lot of guest use, black or grey may be the more forgiving choice — but cream is lovely if you're happy to keep on top of the care. To compare cream tones, our cream sofas page shows the wider choice.

Does it come left-hand or right-hand?

Corner sofas, including corner sofa beds, are usually made in a set orientation — the corner or chaise sits on one particular side — so it's important to choose the one that fits your room. As with any corner, left and right conventions can differ between retailers, so rather than relying on the label alone, always check the product diagram and picture how the sofa (and the bed once it's opened out) will sit in your space. If you're not sure which orientation you need, our showroom team can talk it through. To compare the wider corner range, our corner sofas collection is a good reference.

Does it recline?

No — these are non-reclining corner sofas, so they don't have a reclining action or a footrest that raises. What they do instead is convert into a bed — a different mechanism entirely — giving you a comfortable spare sleeping space when you need it. So while the seats themselves are fixed for sitting, the sofa as a whole transforms for guests. If it's a reclining sofa you're after rather than a sofa bed, our reclining ranges are the place to look instead. To browse those, our recliner sofas collection is a good reference.

How to care for your fabric sofa bed

Fabric is straightforward to look after with a little regular attention. Vacuum it regularly with an upholstery tool to lift dust and crumbs, and plump the cushions to keep them comfortable. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing, and check the care label before using any cleaning product, testing it on a hidden area first. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight to avoid fading, and when you use the bed function, open and close it gently and following the product instructions so the mechanism stays smooth. Airing the bedding and the mattress area between uses helps keep it fresh.

How to measure your space

A corner sofa bed needs measuring in two ways — as a sofa and as a bed. Note the sofa's overall width along both walls, its depth and height, and mark the L-shape out on the floor with tape. Then check the bed dimensions from the product page and make sure you'll have clearance to open it out fully with room to walk around it. Also measure your access route — doorways, hallways and stairwells — as a corner is a large item, sometimes delivered in sections. Our sofa buying guide covers measuring up in detail.

Are the sofa beds fire-safe?

Yes. Every corner sofa bed meets UK Fire Resistant (UKFR) standards, so the materials and construction comply with the fire-safety regulations required for upholstered furniture sold in the UK. This is a baseline legal requirement rather than an optional extra, and it applies to every colour in the range.

How long does delivery take?

Most in-stock corner sofa beds are delivered within 7–10 working days, with free delivery. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring the sofa bed into your chosen ground-floor room, access permitting, and set it in place; old sofa removal can be arranged if you'd like your existing seating taken away at the same time. As a corner is a large item — sometimes delivered in sections — it's worth measuring your doorways and hallways in advance. Full timescales and coverage are on our delivery information page.

Can you spread the cost with finance?

Yes. You can spread the cost of any corner sofa bed using one of our named finance providers, all subject to credit check. Simply select your preferred option at checkout; the exact terms for your order are shown before you confirm. Full details are on our finance options page.
