While the majority of customers seem to be happy with their Cork A-Frame Sofa Bed, a few reviewers have noted that it may not be the most comfortable option for extended use. Some have reported that the sofa bed is a bit firm and can be uncomfortable to sleep on, with one customer even needing to purchase a mattress topper to make it more comfortable. Another customer had trouble converting the sofa back into a bed due to a lack of instruction booklet, which could be a minor inconvenience for some users.

Overall, the Cork A-Frame Sofa Bed is a solid choice for those in need of a compact, occasional bed for guests. It is easy to use, stylish, and provides a comfortable sleeping surface, although it may not be the most comfortable option for extended use.

We were looking for a sofa bed that would fit into our small spare room. We looked at fold out ones but we're concerned about comfort. Google led me to find the Cork a frame sofa bed which was the widest size that would fit in our room. It arrived quickly and looked great in the room as a sofa. Granted, it isn't as comfortable as a regular sofa but still comfortable enough. This weekend, we were having guests who stayed for 2 nights which was our first real test for the Cork. It did not disappoint. The couple found it comfortable and did not want to get out of bed. One half of the couple went as far as to say it was more comfortable than their bed back home. Really pleased with the purchase and have no regrets.

The Cork sofa bed has a smart and understated look as a sofa and because it has no arms, the whole width becomes useable mattress area. Its the length of a standard double but only an inch or so off being a full king size width, which is great. In terms of bed linen, a kingsize fitted sheet and duvet fit nicely. The foam is a little on the firm side so a thick (preferably memory foam) mattress topper is a must for a comfortable nights sleep. Overall, were really pleased with this sofa bed - not too imposing as a sofa in a spare room and a good, useable size as a spare bed. Also easy to unfold and put away.

I bought this sofa bed for our spare room and weve already had guests sleep on it for 2 nights - it pulls out super easily and quickly and they said it was really comfortable, which Im so pleased about. I bought a cushioned topper from Amazon to go on top and its perfect. Folds away quickly too. Its a good sized double and is great for sitting on when my partner is working next to it for a chat!

I saw this Sofabed and it was the only one I liked in terms of design, style and colour. I ordered a double size online, the product didn't disappoint and the estimated delivery was bang on time. Customer Service was 5* in terms of purchasing, processing, communication via email to delivery. I will definitely recommned Dreams to friends and family in the future.

Perfect sofa bed for a spare room - compact, stylish and excellent quality. Easy to open and close and very comfortable in both sofa and bed mode. Sleeps two people without any issue despite being narrower than some other options. Overall a great choice if you're looking for a high quality sofa bed and are conscious about space!

We bought this sofa bed for our grand son which he loves it folds down very easy and goes back easy as well but the only problem is its not that comfortable for an adult to sleep on for a long period of time ok for over night. This is ok to sit on as my grandchildren use this for there gaming chair which is why we bought this.

Ideal product for what we needed to fit in a small room which is only sometimes required as a bedroom, but more often required as a sitting room. Bought two of the single seater sofas so that two people can sleep when required. Gave four stars instead of five because one sofa slightly harder to sit on than the other.

We have yet to use this sofa , so hard to give a review .We were very disappointed with the salesman Paul who we rang on the day and said we paid 40 for bed to be assembled, and was told thats for putting bed in room and taking away rubbish I then emailed H/O and followed up with a phone call. Refund sorted.

This new sofa bed is ideal for our non dining Dining Room and is awaiting it's first users. The colour of Heather looks lovely and the material is warm and strong. I have sampled it after easily making it into the bed position. It's very nice though my older frame would prefer something a wee bit softer.

We bought this as a Managers special a few weeks ago, we havent used it yet as bought it as a spare guest bed to go in the study. Its very neat and fitted easily into the space we had, a larger sofa bed would not fit because of arms etc. Great for the purpose we bought it for. Quick easy delivery.

This sofa bed is comfortable to sleep on, easy to flatten out into a bed and easy to reassemble. Having no arms it takes up no more space than the width of the bed (comes in 3 sizes) and is prefect for small rooms. I am delighted with it.

Questions and Answers About The Cork A-Frame Sofa Bed

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Image of the post author
Sue71
what is the difference between the Cork and the Kelso sofa beds as both are A Frame

Answer: Good Evening,The fabric on the Cork is a softer woven fabric and on the Kelso is a faux suede fabric. In addition, the Kelso can be purchased with the option of having built in storage - this is not possible on the Cork.The fundamental sofa bed mechanism is the same on the Kelso and Cork, however the designs, fabric and storage options differ.
