Guide To The Sofa Bed Bedding

Sofa beds are great for out of town company. You never know when you might have an overnight guest at the last minute, and having a spare bed to sleep them in always comes in handy. We know that you want to be sure your bed in your sofa is a good one, and that is why you came to us. The article below is about sofa bed bedding, and we feel as if it will tell you just what you are looking for.

Buying bedding for a sofa bed requires a little more forethought than regular bedding. The mattresses on sofa beds are usually only 4 inches thick, much thinner than a standard mattress, and they are anywhere from 3 to 8 inches shorter than a standard mattress. This, of course, will make the bedding you may already own somewhat too big for your sofa bed needs. There are bedding products that are specifically designed for sofa beds as well as standard products that can also be used.

Sheets

Since the standard mattress is deeper and longer than a sofa bed mattress, sofa bed sheets are a must for ease and comfort. Sofa bed sheets are specially designed to fit the smaller sized mattress. They also have the top sheet sewn onto the fitted sheet to make it easier to keep the sofa bed straight and neat. These special sheets come with elastic fittings that will keep them snug on the mattress. Just like standard sheets, sofa bed sheets are available in a variety of materials and patterns.

Pads

Since a sofa bed may not be used often as a bed, the mattress may not be quite as comfortable as a standard mattress. However, mattress pads can solve this problem. Sofa bed mattress pads come in a variety of types just like the standards. Most pads are 1-3 inches thick for added comfort on a thinner mattress. You can choose from several types:

1.Egg crate pads-these pads look like an egg carton with the ridges and pockets that will aid softness to a thinner mattress.

2.Feather/down pads-these soft luxurious toppers will add warmth and coziness as well as softness.

3.Pre-warming-working like an electric blanket, this pad will warm the bed so that the sheets will not have the chilled feeling as you get into bed.

4.Latex-if the sleeper has bedwetting issues, this barrier pad will protect the mattress from moisture and odor.
