The furniture in an apartment cannot correspond only to the interests of the apartment owner, and first of all this concerns the sleeping area.

Not so much for style as for practical reasons, residents of small apartments have to choose between a bed and a sofa.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how not to make a mistake with your choice.

It is clear that if a person has 3 rooms at his disposal, then such a question does not arise. In other cases, you have to rack your brains.

Why a sofa is better than a bed

Firstly, the sofa is versatile and can easily be converted into a sleeping area, despite the fact that it is located in the recreation area.

Secondly, when folded, the sofa takes up less space than a bed.

Thirdly, if companies often gather in the house, then sitting on the master’s bed will be at least awkward for them.

Fourthly, modern upholstered furniture is easier to transport.

But most importantly, the sofa fits easily into the interior of any room – living room or bedroom.

However, it was not without its drawbacks.

Everyone knows that sleeping in a bed is more comfortable than on a sofa.

Especially if you choose a quality mattress.

Again, the sofa upholstery and filling do not last that long due to the intensity of its use day and night.

But when there is simply not enough space in the apartment, all these shortcomings simply fade into oblivion.

The only worthy competitor for a sofa can be a transformable bed, but such furniture is not cheap.
