How to Turn Your Bed into a Sofa in a Small Apartment?

In a small apartment or studio, the bed often becomes much more than just a sleeping space. With a slight tilt, it can also serve as a comfortable sofa for watching series, relaxing, reading, or working — without adding furniture.

1. Why Does the Bed Turn into a Sofa in Small Spaces?

When living in a studio or single room, every square meter counts.

There’s often no room for:

  • a sofa
  • a chair
  • a separate living area

Result: the bed naturally becomes the place where we spend most of the day.

But a flat bed isn’t designed for that.

2. Why Isn’t a Standard Bed Comfortable as a Sofa?

A standard bed is made for sleeping, not for sitting long.

In a sitting or semi-sitting position:

  • you slip down
  • the back isn’t supported
  • shoulders tense up
  • pillows sag
  • posture becomes uncomfortable after a few minutes

That’s where many people stack cushions… with little success.

3. What Makes a Sofa Comfortable?

A sofa offers three essential things:

  • stable backrest
  • natural tilt of the torso
  • long-term back support

To turn a bed into a sofa, these elements need to be recreated — without adding furniture.

4. How Does a Slight Tilt of the Bed Change Everything?

By slightly raising the head of the bed:

  • the back is naturally supported
  • the torso stays upright effortlessly
  • you no longer slip
  • the position becomes stable
  • it is possible to sit for a long time

The bed then starts to behave like a real sofa.

5. How Does CosyLift Help Transform a Bed into a Sofa?

CosyLift is placed under the mattress and creates a gentle and stable incline.

This allows:

  • using the bed as a sofa during the day
  • watching Netflix or gaming comfortably
  • reading or working in a semi-sitting position
  • avoiding the purchase of an additional sofa
  • saving space in a small home

In the evening, just flatten the bed for sleeping.

6. Who Is This Solution Ideal For?

This setup is particularly useful for:

  • students in studios
  • people living in a single room
  • furnished rentals
  • small city apartments
  • temporary housing

As soon as the bed also serves as a living room, the incline becomes essential.

7. What Angle Is Ideal for Using the Bed as a Sofa?

An angle between 10 and 20 degrees is perfect for:

  • sitting comfortably
  • supporting the back
  • avoiding slipping
  • maintaining a natural posture

It’s enough to be comfortable without turning the bed into a chair.
