A sofa bed is a versatile centerpiece in many homes, offering comfortable seating by day and a restful sleeping space by night. To keep it looking great and functioning smoothly, regular maintenance is essential. Start by vacuuming the upholstery weekly, using an attachment to reach creases and corners where dust, crumbs, and pet hair tend to linger. Spot clean spills right away with a mild soap solution and a clean cloth, gently blotting rather than scrubbing to avoid damaging the fabric. For deeper stains, consider using a fabric-safe cleaner approved for your sofa bed’s material.

A well-cared-for home is the backdrop for your best memories.

Caring for the mattress is just as important. Pull it out occasionally and let it air for a couple of hours to reduce moisture and prevent odors. Use a mattress protector to keep it clean and shield it from dirt, sweat, and accidental spills. If your sofa bed features removable covers, launder them according to manufacturer guidelines—usually on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Rotate and flip the mattress, if possible, to maintain even wear and support.

The frame and moving parts deserve attention, too. Dust or wipe down metal and wooden components, and check all hinges or latches for smooth operation. Lubricate any squeaky joints with furniture-safe oil to ensure everything opens and closes with ease. Tighten any loose screws or bolts for added safety and stability.
