About the Alexa Small Double Sofa Bed
Last checked
For a study, box room or first-floor flat where seating has to double as guest space, the Alexa Small Double Sofa Bed sits in the compact sofa-bed camp rather than the full bed-frame camp. Its useful feature is the conversion mechanism: recent feedback describes a simple leg-attachment assembly at delivery, then a zip-access support leg and click-down action when changing it from sofa to bed. That is a light-touch build model. Compared with ottoman beds or drawer divans, the storage element here is functional rather than capacious; the hidden compartment is there to house the support leg, not spare duvets or pillows. The composition reads as convenience-led: upholstered seating, loose back cushions, a fold-down sleeping surface and four screw-in legs, with the fabric and colour doing much of the visual work. A sensible call for this product class is that ease of movement and installation matter more than heavy timber engineering, and that fits the feedback: one longer review noted the boxes were manageable enough for a first-floor flat, while another found setup limited to attaching the legs with the supplied tool. The oddity is the exposed zipper position on the seat pad, which means the back cushions need to stay in place to keep the sofa side looking tidy.
As occasional guest sleep in a small room, the Alexa lands best where its sofa function is used daily and its bed function fills gaps: studies, spare rooms and limited-space rooms come up repeatedly in positive feedback. Praise clusters around the look, the fabric feel, the colour options, the quick conversion and the way it makes a small room more versatile; one recent buyer also found it wide enough for two when opened out. Comfort is more divided than the tidy styling suggests. Several comments describe it as hard, low to the ground or thin enough that a support bar can be felt, and the practical fix mentioned more than once is a mattress topper for overnight use. Durability is the sharper warning: the lowest-rated feedback includes early dipping, a spring failure within weeks and a mechanism that stopped returning properly to sofa mode, so the neat fold-away promise has not matched every home experience. Delivery timing also crops up as a frustration, with long waits mentioned even where the handover itself went smoothly. This suits a style-led spare room needing compact seating and occasional adult or child sleepover use; for frequent adult guests, nightly use or anyone wanting a more bed-like surface, a thicker-mattress sofa-bed category or a dedicated small double frame is the safer direction.

The bed is very comfy. Easy to assemble. Just needed to attach the 4 legs but an Allen key and instructions were provided. The bed is easy to use ie convert from sofa to bed. Quick and easy. Just up zip the compartment that has the leg, then click the bed down. Would buy again.
Happy with the product so far. The men who delivered the product were excellent and kept me up to date as to their ETR. I just had to wait 8 weeks for the delivery
Brilliant and stylish, with enough room for two people when being used as a bed. The dimensions of this sofa were perfect for our limited space room.
Very nice and comfortable considering it' a sofa bed
Lovely Sofabed. It's sturdy and comfortable, and easy to assemble
Very pleased with the compact size and ease of converting it to a bed. I like the way the additional legs fold away into the zippered pouches when used as a settee. Only problem is that the mattress is very hard and will need extra padding on top to make it more comfortable for sleeping.
Excellent Very comfortable Perfect size Big enough for 2
Excellent sofa bed very comfortable and big enough for 2 people
Great sized sofa bed. It is perfect for our office aesthetically and a great back up option for extra guests. Really lovely colour and very classy and stylish looking small sofa. Very pleased!
The sofa/bed works well and fits our needs beautifully!
Appearance I would certainly rate it but we have not had visitors to use it yet
It looks really nice fits perfect for where we want it it seems good quality and the material is lovely
Good for a spare bed if you need one on the odd occasion Bit hard May soften with time but just buy a mattress topper. Folds in and out really easy and seat is ok
Great little sofa bed. Comfortable as a sofa and super easier to change into a bed which is also very comfortable, the cushions that come with it make it even more cosy. The material is supersoft and the size is perfect for the space, just big enough for 2 adults but perfect for kids sleepovers.
It is comfortable, and bigger than what we first thought, when we brought it for our small bedroom. Would recommend it but uf buying for smaller spaces just get measurements. It's easy to assemble into the bed just undo the zips and pull the legs out.
I bought this because it fitted the space I had available and liked the ease of transforming from sofa to guest bed. On arrival, one of the wooden legs has a crack in it but is still useable. Also, the back cushions must be in position all the time as the zipper is on the top of the seat pad, which I find odd. The sofa looks nice and appears to be decent for the money paid. I've not used it as a bed yet but suspect it will require a topper to be comfortable. From order to receipt was around 12 weeks but delivery was relatively painless when it happened (just boxes dropped in the room, no unwrapping or construction - that's up to you).
Perfect size of the room. Looks lovely and is easy to use.
Really like the small double sofa bed. Exact size I needed to fit into the space I had. The emerald green colour goes very well with my decor. Not been used as a bed yet and does seem quite firm but a mattress topper will do the job if needed.
Excellent size, comfortable to sit on and to sleep on as sofa-bed.
Sofa is firmer than was expecting, but with a mattress topper, should be fine. We were restricted on size and it fits fine. Getting the sofa to us proved to be a problem for Benson's though, with a very long delay and very little communication.
