Almost two years ago, my husband and I were searching for a sofa bed. We lived in a one-bedroom and hosting guests required a clunky air mattress that no one was a fan of. After one particular trip when my parents were visiting, the mattress they were sleeping on deflated overnight and they ended up on the floor. Needless to say, we knew it was time for a major upgrade! While I was thrilled to replace our dark, old sofa and finally have a place to properly host guests, I was disappointed at all the sofa bed options I found while searching. Most were either super clunky looking, not the right size or crazy expensive. I was specifically searching for a sectional with a sofa bed option and finding a good-looking and affordable option was proving to be impossible. Until I came across Article.
Let’s just say, my prayers were answered. The Article Soma sofa bed was everything I had been looking for. The color — a cool, modern gray — was perfect. The proportions were just right and the design timeless. With added details like tufted seat cushions and sleek brush metal base, the overall look fit right into my modern-leaning home.
The only tiny thing holding me back was the fact that there weren’t many reviews at the time and since it was an online-only company, nowhere I could test out the sofa. But I was impressed with Article’s 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If we weren’t totally thrilled, we could return it, no questions asked. That was enough of a safety net for us to purchase it and oh my goodness am I glad I did. You guys, it’s been nearly two years since we bought our Soma and I can honestly say, it’s hands down one of my best furniture purchases.
We have put this bad boy through the ringer. While we originally bought it with the intent of it being for guests, let’s just say that due to a certain tiny human’s inability to sleep my husband and I spent many weeks on this sofa bed haha. The queen-sized memory foam mattress is truly comfortable. I’ve slept on many sofa beds in my lifetime and those mattresses are never comfortable but the Soma Dawn Gray sofa bed actually allows you to get a good night’s rest. (And btw all the guests we’ve had that have used it have also been impressed.) The cushions have also held up extremely well considering that we’ve since welcomed another little one to our family. After two years of non-stop, daily use, our sofa bed is comfortable as ever.
The fabric has withstood a very vivacious toddler (and new baby) and while there have been some spills (ok quite a few really); it’s cleaned up well thankfully. It’s also comfortable to sit on, firm but with a touch of softness. I don’t really know any other way to describe but let’s just say it’s served me well for many Netflix binges while nursing my little one for hours on end. An added bonus that was a huge benefit in our small one-bedroom was that the chaise lounge that lifts up to provide additional storage.
All in all, when you look around and compare other similar products, Article’s advantages are hard to beat. It’s delivered right to your door, has an incredibly affordable price point (the Soma sofa bed costs $1,599 and most comparable furniture pieces are easily double the price), free ground shipping on orders over $999 and best of all a 30-day money back guarantee that can put even the most stressed out buyer at ease. Try it out, see how it you like it and how it works in your home and if you’re not completely satisfied, you’ll get a refund. For me, this gave me the confidence to buy and I’m so glad I did!
I get it. Furniture and specifically a couch is a big financial commitment. But I can honestly say, I would buy this couch over and over again. After two years of daily use it continues to serve as the centerpiece for our living room and in a way as the heart of our home. We laugh, we jump (well our toddler does!) we play, we sleep and our Article sofa continues to serve our family so well.
