The best sofa bed conceals its second function until it is needed. A Chesterfield sofa bed combines deep buttoning and substantial arms with a concealed sleeping function, preserving the character of a conventional sofa in studies, living rooms and spare bedrooms.
Sofa beds
Chesterfield sofa beds conceal the folding mechanism inside the timber frame beneath the seat cushions, retaining the rolled arms and buttoned back of a classic Chesterfield. Available widths accommodate multipurpose rooms without allowing the sleeping function to dictate their character.
Colour Guide
For everyday seating, choose upholstery around the room rather than the occasional sleeping function. Antiqued and Hand-Coloured leathers emphasise Chesterfield detailing, while quieter tones suit compact spaces. Consider the bedding palette alongside the daytime interior.
Discovery box
A sofa bed serves the room by day and at night. The Discovery Box allows leather and fabric samples to be handled and compared beside existing finishes under daylight and evening lighting before specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Chesterfield sofa beds comfortable to sit on?
Yes. The folding mechanism sits within the timber frame beneath the cushions, so the sofa is designed to retain the seating experience of a standard Chesterfield when the bed is closed.
What size mattress is available in the Stamford sofa bed?
Fleming Howland sofa beds are designed around a sprung mattress with widths ranging from approximately 95cm to 155cm, depending on the sofa size. The mattress depth is approximately 185cm. Check the current product specification when planning the exact room footprint.
How much space does a sofa bed need when open?
Sofa beds can reach an overall depth of approximately 245cm when fully unfolded. Allow additional clearance for comfortable access around the bed, and check doors, desks, coffee tables and other movable furniture that may occupy the opening zone.
Can a Chesterfield sofa bed be used as the main sofa?
Yes. Its mechanism is concealed beneath the cushions, allowing it to function as everyday seating rather than occasional furniture. Choosing the right width, cushion feel and upholstery is therefore just as important as considering the sleeping function.
Where does a sofa bed work best?
Sofa beds are particularly useful in studies, guest rooms and smaller homes where one room has several functions. A well proportioned design can also work in a main living room when additional sleeping capacity is needed without introducing a separate visual language.
