Chaise Sofa Beds

What is a chaise sofa bed?

A chaise sofa bed is an L-shaped lounge with an extended chaise on one end that converts into a guest bed — and on most models, a lift-up storage compartment under the chaise for quilts, pillows and blankets. You get a sofa, a bed and storage in a single piece, which makes it the most space-efficient way to add a spare bed to a living room, study, home office or studio apartment. Shoppers search for these as chaise sofa beds, a sofa bed with chaise, chaise couch beds or chaise sofa sleepers — and if you want a model chosen specifically for hidden storage, see our sofa beds with storage.

How the bed works

Every sofa bed in our range converts the same simple way, and you sleep on the same cushioning you sit on. Turning the lounge into a bed takes two easy steps:

• Pull the base out. The lower section slides forward from under the seat. It's upholstered in the same fabric and filled with the same cushioning as the rest of the sofa.
• Lift it up to level. Raise that pulled-out section until it sits flush at seat height, so the seat, the pulled-out base and the chaise line up as one large, even and supportive sleeping surface.

The chaise adds extra length and lounging room, and because the base extends forward you'll want clear floor space in front. It's a comfortable set-up for overnight and regular guest use, with the same padding you enjoy as a lounge during the day.

Chaise storage — what fits inside?

Most chaise sofa beds include a lift-up storage compartment under the chaise — the ideal spot to keep everything you need to make up the bed, hidden but instantly accessible:

Internal storage size varies by model — check the product page for each piece. In Brisbane and Gold Coast humidity, it helps to leave the lid slightly open now and then so stored bedding stays fresh.

Left-hand or right-hand chaise — how to choose

Picture yourself sitting on the sofa, looking out into the room: a left-hand chaise (LHF) sits on your left, and a right-hand chaise (RHF) sits on your right. Choose the side that lets the chaise sit against a wall or into a corner, leaving the open side facing the room's traffic flow. If your TV unit is to one side, point the chaise so the lounging position faces it. Some models have a reversible chaise that can be set up on either side — the product page will say.

Sizes & configurations

The made-up bed size depends on the configuration. A 2-seater-plus-chaise gives a compact guest bed for one (or two at a squeeze); a 3-seater-plus-chaise gives a more generous bed for two. Larger corner and modular layouts extend the sleeping area further again. Exact bed dimensions vary by model, so check the measurements on each product page before you buy, and allow room for the base to extend forward.

How much room do you need?

A chaise sofa bed needs more space than a standard sofa because it extends forward when you open it. A few things to check before ordering:

• In sofa mode — allow the sofa footprint plus comfortable walkway clearance on the open sides.
• In bed mode — the base pulls out and forward, so keep that space clear of coffee tables and other furniture, or plan to move them.
• Chaise side — the chaise adds width to one side; make sure it won't block a doorway, hallway or vent.
• Storage access — if the chaise has lift-up storage, leave room for the lid to open fully.
• Getting it in — measure your front door, hallway and any stairwells or lifts, and check the packed dimensions on the product page.

Upholstery options

Upholstery varies by model — each product page lists the exact fabric or finish.

Care & maintenance

• Fabric: vacuum the seat and back cushions regularly with an upholstery attachment, and spot-clean spills promptly with a damp cloth.
• Leather-look (PU): wipe with a damp cloth, and keep it out of direct, prolonged sunlight to protect the finish.
• Storage compartment: air it occasionally by leaving the lid ajar — handy in humid QLD weather to keep stored bedding fresh.
• General: follow the care guidance on the product page or in the instructions supplied with your sofa bed.

Chaise sofa bed FAQs

• How does a chaise sofa bed convert into a bed?

  The lower section slides forward from under the seat, then lifts up until it's flush at seat height. The seat, the pulled-out base and the chaise line up as one large, even sleeping surface, upholstered in the same fabric and cushioning as the sofa — so you sleep on the same supportive surface you sit on.

• Do chaise sofa beds come with storage?

  Most do — a lift-up compartment under the chaise, ideal for a spare doona, pillows, sheets and throws. Storage size varies by model, so check the product page. Browse our sofa beds with storage for models chosen specifically for hidden storage.

• What's the difference between a left-hand and right-hand chaise?

  Sitting on the sofa and looking out into the room, a left-hand chaise (LHF) is on your left and a right-hand chaise (RHF) is on your right. Choose the side that lets the chaise sit against a wall or into a corner. Some models have a reversible chaise that works on either side — the product page will confirm.

• What size bed does a chaise sofa bed make?

  It depends on the configuration — a 2-seater-plus-chaise makes a compact guest bed, while a 3-seater-plus-chaise gives a more generous one. Exact bed dimensions vary by model, so check the measurements on each product page.

• Can a chaise sofa bed be used as an everyday bed?

  Because the bed is made from the same cushioned base as the seat, lifted level into one flat surface, it's comfortable for overnight and regular guest use. If it's going to be someone's main bed every night, we'd suggest trying one in a showroom first to make sure it suits.

• Will a chaise sofa bed fit through my doorway, and do you deliver?

  Measure your front door, hallway, stairwells and any lifts before ordering, and check the packed dimensions on the product page. We deliver across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the wider South-East Queensland region (calculated at checkout), and free Click & Collect is available from our Rocklea warehouse seven days a week.
