Why our sleep experts loved it
A great night's sleep matters. It's the reset that lets you kick-start a fresh new day with a bit of vim and vigour. A large aspect of good sleep is not only the mattress we sleep on, but also the flexibility of the sleeping arrangement offered in our homes, especially when entertaining guests. Enter the Eleanor Sofa Bed from Bensons for Beds. Billed as a stylish, space-friendly solution for additional sleep space, it is targeted towards those who prioritise both comfort and convenience.
How we Tested
We spent quality time with the Eleanor Sofa Bed in a local Bensons for Beds store. As we evaluated the furniture's merits, our focus points included comfort as a sofa and a bed, ease of assembly and deconstruction, durability, aesthetics, value for money, and customer reviews. By evaluating every aspect of the Eleanor Sofa Bed, we aimed to get a clear understanding of its strengths and possible draw backs.
Design and Features
The Eleanor Sofa Bed is a three-seater that transforms from a sleek sofa into a comfortable bed via a click-clack mechanism, perfect for those unexpected guests. Its woven fabric lends it a contemporary appeal, and the industrial-inspired matte black hairpin metal legs add a touch of svelte sophistication. Offered in two appealing colours - Salt Grey and Woodland Green, this sofa bed provides a balance between elegance and function. Its dimensions, H80 x W204 x D87cm as a sofa, and its transformation into a H41 x W180 x L108 cm comfortable bed, make it handy for making the most of your space.
Construction
The Eleanor is constructed to provide long-lasting reliability coupled with comfort. Its matte black metal legs offer solid support, while the woven fabric adds a soft, welcoming feel. The sofa includes two matching cushions for additional comfort, and adds pleasing aesthetics. The solid construction offers a 5-year guarantee providing purchasers peace of mind.
Suitability
The Eleanor Sofa Bed is a versatile addition for any home looking for a combined solution for seating and sleeping without compromising the aesthetics or floor space. In a living room, guest room, or even a larger master bedroom, it can be an ideal choice for homes with limited space or a flat that needs a space-efficient and chic sleep solution.
What Customers Thought
Customers praised the sofa bed for its sturdy construction, value for money, ease of assembly and transformation. Its modern aesthetic received consistent affirmation. However, several customers noted that it might be firm which might be unsuitable for extensive lounging, but could be remedied using a mattress topper. Even with that, buyers agreed that the sofa bed is an excellent, space-saving solution for their homes.
The Verdict
After a good look, the Eleanor Sofa Bed comes across as a solid all-rounder. With its chic design, tough build, and practical value, it stands tall as an excellent home furniture addition. Whilst it may lean toward firm, with some adjustments, it can become a comfortable sleep solution. If you're in the hunt for an elegant, easy-to-maintain, and utility-rich sofa bed, the Eleanor Sofa Bed could be just what you need.
