In this 2026 report, UK furniture retailer Furniture in Fashion examines how overnight guests are now accommodated on convertible furniture in rooms with a primary daytime function. No national dataset records UK guest sleeping arrangements, so the analysis is built from fixed specification instead: standard mattress sizes from a 90cm by 190cm single through to a 180cm by 200cm super king, the room widths and access clearances each requires, and the opening depths sofa beds demand once the desk, door swing and floor lamp are accounted for. The report argues that mattress construction rather than bed format decides whether guests return, and sets out how to furnish a room that has two jobs. Opening clearance, not closed footprint, is the measurement that decides the room."}
