What are the Benefits to Leather Sofa Beds?
Leather has always been associated with the finest, most stylish items. Whether it's the smart shoes you wear to the office every day, a designer handbag from Milan or that pair of trousers that was cool back in the 1970s, (although "cool" is maybe a more appropriate way of writing that). Leather sofa beds are no different as they look great in any home, in any colour and at any time.
Leather sofa beds are not just a stylish addition to a home, but a practical one also. The one drawback with a lot of material sofa beds is that the designs are regularly floral-based and consequently don't fit in with the decor of the living room or bedroom, meaning they're consigned to the spare room or left in the store. Leather sofa beds are often so similar to normal leather sofas that people can't tell the difference until you start unfolding them at bed time, meaning they can be used for the family sofa in the daytime and a guest bed at night.
They also act as space-saving solutions in small houses. Families often have friends or family over to stay for the night or weekend but if they're not blessed with the luxury of a spare bedroom their guests have to resort to sleeping on floors or on sofas or even in tents in the garden. Leather sofa beds can act, as previously mentioned, as sofas during the day and be turned into a bed at night so you don't have to worry about trying to cram in an extra mattress where there really isn't room.
The material is much simpler to clean as well which is another big tick in the list of positives. A lot of the time cleaning leather is as simple as a damp cloth and a wipe and regularly only as much as a bit of soapy water and some elbow grease. In comparison, if a drink or sauce is spilled onto a material sofa it can be irreparably stained which doesn't look great if it's the main sofa in your home.
Leather is also a lot more robust than it's material counterparts. It takes a lot to rip a leather sofa whereas a key in your pocket could go straight through a cloth sofa making a large hole which will inevitably catch the eye of everyone who sits on it, which is not good if you're going for a stylish home.
They don't have to be just single beds either. A lot of the time leather sofa beds are used as three-seater settees during the day, and when they're unraveled they act as perfectly comfortable double beds meaning you don't spend the whole night tight up to your partner or sleeping apart because there isn't the room.
