Cheap Click-Clack Sofa Beds From Target, Walmart and Ikea

Before purchasing a cheap sofa bed from Walmart, Target or Ikea, there are a few things to take into consideration about quality. First, there is a big difference between click clack sofa beds and pull out sofa bed sleepers. Click clack sofas operate similar to futons in the sense that the back folds down and the mattress is part of the frame, rather than a pull-out sofa bed sleeper where the mattress is a separate piece and folds underneath the seat cushions. Click clack sofas tend to be less expensive in price. This should not be confused with the futon, which has a separate mattress resting on a frame. The click clack sofa bed is all one piece.

The key to choosing the right type of sofa bed should be based on how it will be used. Please keep in mind that most of these click clack sofas priced under $300 are temporary solutions.

Decide first how it will be used. Is it an everyday bed? Is it an everyday sofa to sit and lounge on? Is it going in a second room?
Decide how long you think you want to keep it for.
If it has to function as a bed, does it need to accommodate two people?

First thing to keep in mind that if you are spending less than $300, you cannot expect much in this type of price range. Click clacks in this price range are temporary solutions and most likely will not be comfortable as a bed or a sofa. If you don’t care and just need something to sit on for a few months to a year, then go for this type of sofa. It will probably be more comfortable to lie across the sofa than to sit upright on it. Below is an example of a click clack sofa bed for under $300. This would make sense for a basement, den, kids room, college dorm. The quality has a lot to do with how much foam padding is used. The cheaper the sofa, the less padding is in it. What happens is that an adult of average weight that will sit on something like this frequently will eventually feel the spring supports underneath due to the foam padding wearing out. The legs are also of lesser quality usually made from hard plastics or hollow aluminum.

You can find better quality click clack sofa beds in the $350-$450 range made by a Turkish manufacturer called Istikbal. The American based distributor for this manufacturer is called Sunset International. Almost all the click clack sofa beds they make contain a storage compartment where you can put linens and other personals. Istikbal manufactures one of the best quality click clack convertible sofas at reasonable and affordable prices.
