Corner Sofa Beds — L-Shaped Sofa Beds with Storage
A corner sofa bed does three jobs in one piece of furniture: it's a corner sofa for everyday living, a bed for guests, and storage for the bedding that goes with it. That combination is what makes it such a practical choice for smaller homes, spare rooms and open-plan spaces — you get a full L-shaped sofa most of the time, and a proper bed when you need it, without giving up floor space to a separate guest bed.
Below you'll find how the bed and storage work, how much space you'll need, and how to choose the right corner sofa bed for your room.
How a corner sofa bed works
Every corner sofa bed in our range uses a pull-out mechanism: the bed base slides out and forward from under the seat to open into a flat sleeping surface, and folds back away when it's not needed. It's a straightforward action that one person can manage, and it keeps the sofa looking like a sofa the rest of the time.
The sleeping surface on a corner sofa bed is usually a double, typically around 53 to 59 inches (135–150cm) wide and 75 to 79 inches (190–200cm) long, which makes it suitable for couples as well as single guests. If you're weighing up different opening styles across our full range, our sofa beds collection covers the different mechanisms in more detail.
Corner sofa bed storage
Every corner sofa bed in our range includes integrated storage, giving you somewhere to keep spare duvets, pillows and sheets close to where guests will actually sleep. Depending on the model, the storage sits either under the lift-up chaise seat or inside a storage footstool that comes as part of the set — the footstool doubling as a footrest or an extra perch when it isn't in use.
This is where a corner sofa bed earns its place: it replaces a sofa, a guest bed and a blanket box with one piece, which is exactly what makes it work in a room that has to do several jobs. The storage stays accessible whether the bed is open or closed, so you're not unfolding the bed just to reach the bedding.
Choosing and measuring a corner sofa bed
Two footprints matter with a corner sofa bed: the sofa as it sits day to day, and the bed once it's open. Measure the space for both. As a rough guide, allow around 98 x 79 inches (250 x 200cm) for the corner shape itself, and leave roughly 30 inches (75cm) of clear floor in front of the seat so the bed has room to pull out and someone can get in and out comfortably.
Like any corner sofa, a corner sofa bed faces left or right, so check which way the chaise should sit for your room before you order — our corner sofas page explains how to work out left-hand and right-hand facing. Corner sofa beds come in fabric and leather, and because they're delivered in sections, it's worth measuring doorways, hallways and stairs on the way in.
Corner sofa bed FAQs
Are corner sofa beds comfortable to sleep on?
A corner sofa bed with a pull-out mechanism opens to a flat double sleeping surface, usually around 53 to 59 inches (135–150cm) wide, which suits occasional guests and regular use alike. As with any sofa bed, comfort depends on the mattress depth and the person, so it's worth trying the bed action and the surface in person where you can.
Do all corner sofa beds have storage?
Every corner sofa bed in our range includes integrated storage. Depending on the model, it sits under the lift-up chaise seat or inside a storage footstool included with the sofa. It typically holds a spare duvet, pillows and a set of sheets, keeping guest bedding close to hand and off the floor elsewhere in the house.
What size bed does a corner sofa bed make?
Most corner sofa beds open to a double, roughly 53 to 59 inches (135–150cm) wide and 75 to 79 inches (190–200cm) long. That's enough for two adults or a single guest with room to spare. Always check the sleeping dimensions of the specific model, as they vary between designs.
How much space do I need for a corner sofa bed?
Allow around 98 x 79 inches (250 x 200cm) for the corner sofa itself, plus roughly 30 inches (75cm) of clear floor in front for the bed to pull out and for getting in and out. Measuring the open-bed footprint as well as the sofa footprint is the step most people forget, so mark both on the floor with tape before you buy.
Which way should a corner sofa bed face?
Like any corner sofa, a corner sofa bed is left-hand or right-hand facing, depending on which side the chaise sits. Stand in the doorway and picture the chaise running along the wall with more space. Our corner sofas page explains how to choose left-hand or right-hand facing in full.
