About the Livia Sofa Bed
Last checked
The Livia is a sofa bed first, guest bed second. Its composition reads as a compact, self-assembly sofa-bed frame with an integrated fold-out sleeping surface rather than a heavy pull-out mechanism or a divan-style guest bed, and that distinction matters because several happy accounts praise how quickly it changes from seating to sleeping while one low-scoring account was surprised to find assembly required at all. Fold-away support legs are a space-saving detail, and one longer account specifically liked that they disappear into the back when the bed is used as a sofa; that is neat for a living room, but it also puts more importance on leg placement and contact with the floor than a fixed-frame day bed would. Honest occasional-bed construction for the category. Without a disclosed timber gauge, slat count or weight rating, the practical reading has to come from the format: this sits closer to the compact click-clack and guest-room sofa-bed class than the sturdier full-width metal-action sofa-bed tier, where the mechanism and support frame tend to be the main cost. The styling appears to be a stronger part of the proposition than the engineering detail, with repeated praise for the colour, smart sofa profile and the fact it does not visually announce itself as a sofa bed.
Homes trying to squeeze guest sleeping into a smaller room are the clearest match. Happier accounts describe it as comfortable for sitting, simple to convert, easy to assemble once expected, and visually tidy enough for a living room, morning room or bedroom; that feedback matches the sofa-bed format, where day-to-day seating and occasional overnight use carry more weight than long-run bed performance. The strongest praise is for occasional guests rather than nightly use, and one detailed account frames it as suitable for children or a short adult stay, while another guest slept comfortably on it straight away. Width and stability are the cautions. A recent account flags that it is narrow when opened as a bed, and a longer one suggests extra padding for an adult overnight stay; more seriously, one low-scoring account describes the bed tipping when a guest rolled over, so the manufacturer’s practical promise of convenience is weakened by at least one substantial safety complaint around leg alignment. Service frustration and the self-assembly surprise also show up at the bottom end, although the broader assembly signal is mixed rather than uniformly poor. For a compact spare room needing a smart sofa and occasional child or guest bed, this is the right call. For regular adult overnight use, couples, or anyone prioritising fixed-frame security, look to the full-width pull-out sofa-bed tier instead.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
5 year guarantee - for peace of mind
A 5-year guarantee is a noteworthy advantage as it underscores the company's confidence in the product's endurance and durability. Such a feature minimises the financial risk for the buyer, ensuring that any potential faults or damages within the five-year period will be rectified without additional charges.
Simple click clack opening function – ideal for last-minute guests and an easy-breezy set up
A click-clack opening function adds convenience and practicality, perfect for immediate accommodation demands and facilitating setup process without stress. The dual storage attribute enables efficient use of space, accommodating items with relative ease for seamless space management.
Stylish design - button detail teamed with a contemporary, tapered leg
Pulled-in upholstery breaks up the front, giving the room a tailored look. Slim, angled feet lift the base visually and make floor space feel clearer, though they can show dust and may look too delicate beside chunky furniture.
3 seater sofa bed - perfect for the living room or guest room
Cushions pull forward into a flat sleeping surface for occasional guests. Measure the floor area first because the opened frame takes extra space, while regular overnight use may call for a dedicated bed or thicker topper.
Sofa dimensions - H81 x W180 x D86 cm
Width of 180 cm gives two adults space to lounge, while the 81 cm height keeps the back fairly low for rooms where bulky seating can dominate. Check the 86 cm depth against narrow doorways first.
Choose from a variety of different colouroptions- to suit practically any sleep space
Fabric dye covers the visible upholstery, changing how strongly it stands out against walls, flooring and nearby curtains. Screen colours can mislead, and paint matching needs a swatch.
Bed dimensions - H41 x W180 x L109 cm - sleeps 2 people
At 41 cm high, the sleeping surface is close to chair height, while the 180 cm width gives two sleepers usable side-by-side room. The 109 cm length is cramped for taller adults.

A nice sofa but check the width when it's a bed, it's on the narrow side. Overall, it's good quality and comfortable.
