Sofa beds and chair beds in Israel: a sleeping place every day

Here the bed is not a bonus but the main function. So the thing to look at is the mechanism rather than how the sofa looks folded.

Sofas and chairs that open out. A chair bed solves the same problem in a smaller footprint when a single guest arrives. Ordinary living room sofas are in Sofas.

The line between "for guests" and "sleeping every night" runs along the seam. If the sleeping surface folds in half, the seam ends up under the lower back, which is bearable for a week and not for a year. For permanent use people choose models with a level surface and separately check for a linen box: the bedding has to live somewhere.

What to look at

Feature	Why it matters
Mechanism	Daily folding wears hinges and runners faster than the fabric.
Level sleeping surface	A seam in the middle is tolerable for guests and a nuisance for nightly use.
Linen box	Without one the bedding has to be kept in another room.
Doorway and stairs	Packaging dimensions are listed separately from the sofa itself.
