Koala Sofa Bed
The award-winning Koala Sofa Bed is an absolute legend. It's comfy as, stylish enough to show off, and perfect for playrooms or those spare rooms that are more 'spare' than 'room'. This three-time ProductReview Award winner has earned its reputation as the champ of sofa beds for good reason.
Why it's brilliant for playrooms:
-
Lightning-Fast Conversion: Turn it from sofa to bed in seconds with one smooth motion. It's faster than you can say "surprise sleepover!" This quick transformation is perfect when little ones have friends staying over or when they're ready to wind down with a movie.
-
Kid-Friendly Operation: The simple fold-out mechanism is so straightforward that older children can help set it up (under supervision, of course). No complicated parts or heavy lifting required.
-
Compact Footprint: With dimensions of 70in width and 39in depth, it's perfectly sized for smaller playrooms or multi-purpose spaces where every inch counts. When opened to its full 85in length, it still maintains a reasonable footprint.
-
Play-proof Durability: Upholstered in easy-clean, stain-resistant fabric, this sofa bed stands up to the inevitable spills, crayon marks, and sticky fingers that come with playroom territory.
-
Cloud-Like Comfort: The integrated Kloudcell® topper brings genuine sleeping comfort and support, making it a proper bed rather than just an emergency backup for overnight guests.
Byron Sofa Bed
Meet the Byron, the Swiss Army knife of sofa beds that's ready to tackle playroom pandemonium with style. This award-winning beauty converts from a sink-in sofa to a proper queen bed faster than you can say "stop jumping on the furniture!"
Here's why the Byron deserves pride of place in your play zone:
-
Cloud-Soft Comfort That Works Double-Time: The Byron features our deepest seat cushions, perfect for everything from storytime to parent recovery sessions. With Koala's famous Kloudcell® cushioning in a proper queen-size mattress, sleepover guests get actual comfort instead of the usual "I can feel every spring" sofa bed experience.
-
Ultra-Quick Transformation Powers: One smooth movement is all it takes to go from sofa to queen-size bed. No tools, no swearing under your breath, no mysterious leftover parts. The secure couch cushion fastening system means everything stays exactly where it should, even when used as a makeshift trampoline (though we didn't tell you that).
-
Clever Storage That Hides the Evidence: The Byron comes with bigger hidden storage than ever before, perfect for tucking away extra bedding, pillows, or quickly shoving toys inside when unexpected visitors ring the doorbell. This modern design is your secret weapon against playroom chaos.
-
Built tough but Looks Fabulous: Available in colors like Blush Sunset and Green Wattle that cleverly disguise the odd stain while still looking sharp. The mattress frame uses 100% FSC®-certified wood and CertiPUR-US® foam, so it's as good for the planet as it is for your playroom.
-
Washable Covers for Inevitable Disasters: The Byron's covers zip off easily for a quick wash, meaning you can say goodbye to those "how on earth did that get there?" stains.

No Rushed Showroom Decisions: At Koala, we understand that the real testing of sofa beds happens in your playroom, not in a store. This is why we offer 120-day trials for our sofa beds. Sleep on them, lounge on them, or test them with the kids for four months. |
Why Choose a Sofa Bed for Playrooms
The humble sofa bed is not just a place to park your butt, but a game-changing addition that turns playroom chaos into practical magic. Here's why adding a sofa bed to your playroom might be the smartest move since you learned to hide veggies in the pasta sauce.
Space-Saving Superstar for Small Spaces
When it comes to playrooms, floor space is gold. A sofa bed gives the kids enough room for their LEGO empires and dance-offs during the day, then transforms into a proper bed when needed. It's like getting two pieces of furniture while only taking up the space of one. No more cramped quarters, just clever use of what you've got.
Sleepover Central
Remember those childhood sleepovers? Make your little ones' memories even better with a proper spot for friends to stay over. No more dragging mattresses around or inflating old air mattresses that go flat by midnight. Just a quick flip and the playroom becomes sleepover HQ.
Best Sleeper Sofas for Parents
Let's be honest. Supervising playtime sometimes means you need a comfy spot to park yourself. Whether you're refereeing Monopoly disputes or just having a cup of coffee while keeping an eye on things, a proper sofa gives you back cushions to chill. And when movie night rolls around? Everyone can pile on for a comfy viewing experience.
With features like washable covers (because spills happen), durable sofa frames (because jumping happens), and no-tools assembly (because life's too short), a Koala sofa bed is built for real family life. It's furniture that actually gives a damn about how you live.

Rest Easy for Years to Come: Your Koala sofa bed is backed by a solid 5-year warranty, because quality furniture should last longer than a good night's sleep. Built to withstand bouncing kids by day and sleepovers by sundown, we stand behind our sofa beds so your playroom can handle whatever adventures come its way. |
Key Features to Look for
When it comes to setting up a playroom with furniture that works overtime, not all sofa beds are created equal. Here's what to look for when choosing a sofa bed that's playroom-ready.
Built-In Storage and Other Space-Saving Features
In the epic battle against toy chaos, every square inch of storage counts, especially if you are already short on space. Your playroom furniture should pull double duty, providing both comfy seating and ample storage to hide the mountain of stuff that seems to multiply overnight.
The Byron Sofa Bed is the heavyweight champion of storage, while the Koala Sofa Bed's compact footprint makes it perfect for smaller playrooms.
No-Stress Transformations
When it's 8 PM and you've got overtired kids waiting for their sleepover space, you don't want to be wrestling with complicated sleeper sofa mechanisms or searching for that one Allen wrench that's mysteriously missing. Setting up should be so easy that a sleepy child (or equally sleepy parent) could do it.
Koala's motto of "no tools, no worries" shines through in our sofa bed designs. Our products transform from sit to sleep mode in as little as four seconds.
Safety for Kids and Overnight Guests
When it comes to kids, safety isn't just a nice-to-have. It's absolutely essential. Your playroom furniture and guest bed stand-in should be free from nasty pinch points, sharp edges, and dodgy materials that could turn fun time into tears.
Koala sofa beds feature smooth-operating fold-outs, unlike pull-out mechanisms that can trap curious fingers. The Koala and Byron Sofa Beds also use CertiPUR-US® certified foams, so you can rest easy knowing they're made without the nasty chemicals you don't want around your little ones.
Tough as Nails (Without the Ouch)
Kids can be little tornadoes of energy, turning your once-pristine furniture into testing grounds for durability. Your playroom sofa bed needs to handle everything from spilled cordial to impromptu trampoline sessions while still looking sharp for when the visiting grown-ups use the playroom as a guest room.
Koala's got your back with high-quality materials that can take a beating. The Koala Sofa Bed features stain-resistant textured polyester that's a breeze to clean, while the Byron Sofa Bed has washable covers for inevitable disasters.
Comfort That Makes Everyone Happy
A truly great playroom sofa bed needs to please both tiny humans during story time and full-sized adults supervising the chaos. It should transition from a daytime lounging spot to a sleep surface that won't have your guests making excuses to leave early.
The secret sauce in all Koala sofa beds is the Kloudcell® technology that makes sitting and sleeping equally dreamy. The Koala Sofa Bed, in particular, includes an integrated Kloudcell® topper that gives proper support for overnight guests.
