I think the fact that upon people telling them about a problem they were having, the company reached out to send people things to fix it, that alone gives me a good impression of the company at least
Pinterest has been showing me this sofa for months! I appreciate the review. I could see this working really well in a guest room/office. Most sofa beds are butt ugly.
this is so helpful. there really isn't any reviews out there despite relentless marketing on instagram. i've been eyeing this sofa for almost a year now, but the chrome bars moving is definitely a deal breaker for me.
This video is the definition of a good review. I loved it and loved the way you don't recommend the sofa, literally, you made us think if it is suitable for ourselves or not. 💛
Woooo ! This is me rn frfr ! I'm getting ready to move so I'm weighing my furniture options 😅 what color , size , flexibility, movability. I have probably less than 30 days and the Gemini's are in full affect 😩 at this rate I'm going in with just clothes,bed and dishes 😅
This is one of the best product reviews I’ve ever seen. Not only was the video structured well but you relied on facts rather than your subjective opinion of the couch. Super informative 👏👏👏
Took matters into my own hands when I realized there was a showroom where it’s displayed where I live. It wasn’t at all what I personally looked for in a sofa (which made me so sad because I loved the way it looked). Not comfortable enough for enjoying a two hour movie painlessly. Thanks for thorough review, that’s what I needed back then!
Never heard of this sofa before so idk why this video was recommended to me, but I watched start to finish bc it's so straight to the point and well organized
Thank you so much for this review. I was really considering getting this couch for when I move, however I feel like it's a little to low to the ground for me as a couch but it might work great for a bed on top of a platform
Do you know if it’s mold proof? I’m a bit worried about the lower matress being that close to the floor and am too lazy to lean it against the wall to breathe.
@@gavriloking5637 i don't think furniture or any item should cost as much as the materials it's made out off sinds people still had to make the item but unless all the workers making this couch had some extremely good wages it's overpriced as hell
I didn't know about this couch and it now feels like it's exactly what I've been looking for, honestly. Thanks for the review! It's very objective indeed and very honest:) Can't have enough of that in our contemporary world! By the way, the price of this is generally the same as the one that looks like that in IKEA and another I found on KAVE home - all of them are very similar, but this one is the only one that actually unfolds fully.
My partner and I are large people, and we've been looking at this sofa bed for a while and sofas in general that we won't break by flopping down or canoodling on, this video was very helpful. ❤
I got this sofá back in march and honestly kinda regret it. The mattresses are not comfortable and they’re stretching in the middle like I can see with yours (the top mattress is rounded on the front side). It’s super expensive and I would’ve bought a sofa in ikea for half the price honestly. Or pay the same (2100 euros in Spain with the shipping) for another sofa from a better brand
Literally out here doing the lord's work! Thank you SO much. Do you think it's comfortable to use as a daily bed at night? I have a tiny apartment and am looking to double-dip, have you slept on it at all?
i find it comfortable & have taken a nap on it but need to juxtapose the firmness with my bed which is pretty soft for the sake of my back (extra firm doesnt help my spine alignment) but cold foam is used for a lot of mattresses on the market, so im sure it would suffice just depends how much support or softness you need or want.
Thank you sooo much for the review! Its been so hard to find one online. The way i really love the lounge/relaxed vibe that it gives, i literally got it customized with a local welder/carpenter because i can't get it shipped to Rwanda. I like that you talked about the metal bars, and I'm wondering if it would make sense (since I'm basically getting it done from scratch) to put another metal bar underneath the mattress at the bottom to connect the others, to avoid each sliding off! Either way, looking forward to getting it delivered :) Thanks again!
thats awesome that u have a local welder to customize it for you! I would definitely consult with them to see what improvements might be most helpful. What color are you making?
If the size of the matresses on this couch are the same as a twin bed, you could cover them in a waterproof matress protector and regular sheets or use duvet covers. Basically finding other covers will be easy to do.
For that price i can get 2 matresses, big pillows, fabric, foam, a seamstress to sew all together and have enough money left for a rug, coffee table, bedside tables, more pillows and a blanket
idk if i’d ever get a sofa - not new at least - with prices and all, but this was a really great review i think. to the point, humour here and there, no unnecessary editing or fluff. really enjoyed, even i never looked at, or had heard of, this sofa in the first place. just a good video
Thank you for this review and its so preciously cute that your pup pup enjoys it too🥰😊😘. I miss my fur baby so much🕊️ and this brightened my day. Happy Birthday Gemmis its our season A 💃🏽💐❤💖.
@@abetweene thank you so so much because it definitely means alot💗. I certainly enjoyed my bday and while it was the first one without her my angel was still with me. Enjoy your bday immensely 🤩.
If it fades think about dying the covers instead of replacing them. 😊 Remember to put salt in the dye water so the color sets and bleeds less when rinsing. I used to dye EVERYTHING as a teen. 😊
this video is everything: informative, aesthetically pleasing and beautifully edited 🥰🥰 do you need to air out the mattresses (similarly to futons) as they sit so close to the floor without any legs?
thanks so much! i really struggled to edit it so im glad its well received 😌 i wouldnt say it needs airing out, but im sure the time theyre left sitting while washing the slip covers is enough however often you choose to do so.
Thank you so much for this. I've been looking at similar sofas with the same material for a couple of years now, but those couldn't be turned into a bed which is a downside (Jättebo in particular). I'll definitely have to go and try this out, we have no guest room so comfy convertable furniture is essential.
I have a “floor couch” which is what I call the full sized mattress on the floor of my living room. It has a giant wedge pillow along the long side for back support against the wall, and a bunch of pillows. I love it! This is basically an elevated version, it catches my interest.
It's been eating away at me, but I am curious to know if you are a designer. There are so many of your videos that tie back into my graphic design coursework/lectures. It's the way you speak about your process, eye for color, etc that led me to that theory lol. As for this couch, it really shows how big the "minor" details really can make a big difference. Lounging on the couch shouldn't make anyone hyper-aware that they're going to make something slide out of place!
i think id say i am 🤔 ive always been creative, so i went to university for art but havent worked much in my field of study. agreed, details are so important!
I got a similar one off of etsy for half the price, as its comfortable for me to sit closer to the floor. The dupe was easy to get up a few flights of stairs, and the foam was more comfortable than the fancy brand. So if you like the look, thats one option.
This reminds me of my favourite couch growing up that my parents bought allegedly from Ikea in the 90s. Their was white and had more of a canvas/cotton cover, and the two mattresses were stitched together by the cover so they didn't slide off. The L shaped backrest was secured by straps and these slip buckle type thing. Had plenty of awesome sleepovers on that couch lol.
I know this is going to sound crazy but I was thinking of getting this as a bed to replace my own. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad idea but I’m thinking about it. It’s so cozy and I do like it’s a mattress itself which to me adds to it being healthy for my back. The hard foam is kinda scary but I feel like a pillow top mattress topper would make this so much better!!! It just seems like a two in one sorta thing so if I move around it’s not to hard to bring with me in the sense of packing a normal bed and it’s frame. This was so well done, you have very great editing skills! Hope you have a nice day!!
3:33 heat shrink tubing might be a good, relatively durable alternative to add a little extra grip. It's also avaliable in a lot if different colors if you want to add a bit if a highlight.
U hare answering all the questions I had a couple of months ago, when I was shopping around for a sofa, since I had a vintage version of this and it would not keep the shape, slide and the cushion would get stuck inside the metal bars. Still I’m happy I went for a different one
i really like this sofa but needed to see what others thought of it too. i like to have movie nights on the weekend with my sister and wondering if i should get one. but also wondering now what if i bought a hard foam mattress and made one myself! because i can sew and cut up foam
What an amazing review . Straight to the point , thank you !!!! I have been looking at it to have it in the spare room as a guest bed. As I don’t want a full bed there but I need a bed .And this looks like what I am after . But as you said, the question is do I want to pay the price tag 😂😂😂
ive only slept about the length of a nap (1-3 hours) which is quite comfortable. for my health needs though it cant be a full night or at least not an everyday event, so remember comfort level will depend on your personal thoughts and needs towards a firm mattress.
Nicest sofabed I've ever seen And, i feel like if you can get softer mattresses at the same size, you could make the top one a little more cushiony which could be nice I don't think I'll get one unless i see it going super cheap though, I've got less than no money :P
Lovely review! You have a great voice and super presentation skills. Am I interested in this sofa? Hell, no….reminds me too much of the sofa I bought at Goodwill in college in 1972. That one did, however, have feather cushions - very snuggly!💕
Great review, so thorough! I’m not buying this sofa since I actually have its vintage ancestor, by De Sede (alas I got mine when they were unwanted and inexpensive at auction and now they’re $$$$). It has a very similar design but the cushions are sewn together and fold out, and each section is twin-sized. Really solves the design issues you highlight but the open form is not intended to be left that way, the undersides have different fabric. Win some, lose some? Question: I LOVE your wall bookcase, who makes it? It’s so sleek.
I've also seen relentless ads for this sofa I quite like. HOWEVER. My concern is mold/mildew underneath, like I've seen a lot of futons and mattresses on the floor suffer from. I'm too lazy to be airing things out all the time. But putting it on a base is even more money. Maybe its made for drier climates. I used to have a 80s hand me down fold out foam sofa bed that I guess was kind of similar (we had it on a base most of the time when it was a sofa) Incredibly comfy, just ugly. But the two mattresses were joined together with velcro, as they'd kind of scoot apart in the night and you'd fall down the gap.
My gf and I really like this couch but its just a lil over our budget so we’re trying to diy it a lil and just buying the covers instead of the whole thing.. is there any way you could maybe show the inside of the cushions??
I was thinking of doing the same. Buy the original covers for £325 from their site and fill them with custom cut foam. Did you succeed in doing anything similar?
I want something where I can turn it into a fort, Movie retreat, relaxing nap in the afternoon. After you shared your issues with the bar, this couch isn't for me, someone who slouches and lays against the back of the couch and even curls into a ball in a corner. I'd fall right off!
Thanks for the great review! Can someone tell me exactly how thick each mattress is without the covers? If I understand correctly, the seat height is 34cm, so each individual mattress is 17cm high (including covers). But how thick is the mattress core without covers?
There would be air circulation and moisture and damp issues with this IMO had one like this but no metal bars long ago. This used to be an affordable and common kind of sofa back in the day
@@abetweene I had one. It absolutely is an issue with this style of sofa. Beds need sufficient air circulation to be able to breathe. because of the half litre of water human adults sweat at night
u said you had ‘one like it with no metal bars’ so my comment addressed the possibility that perhaps current brands have taken those factors into consideration when designing and picking materials.
I wanted this sofa but didnt wanna pay for it. Instead im gonna make it myself. Buy 2 firm foam mattresses and sew together my own covers with corduroy material. I have a friend who works with steel who can make the bars for me. Will cost £250 total and take a week to make
Hey, great review. You totally came off as a "nonspokesperson," aka "real." I have The Cloud, 4 yrs. in at $3200.00. Too vested now to let go. I'm not the corduroy type, but love the look. Thanks and big 👍🏿 up.
Have I considered buying this sofa? No. Have I seen this sofa before? No. Did I thoroughly enjoy this review? YES
😁
Same 😂
I think the fact that upon people telling them about a problem they were having, the company reached out to send people things to fix it, that alone gives me a good impression of the company at least
Pinterest has been showing me this sofa for months! I appreciate the review. I could see this working really well in a guest room/office. Most sofa beds are butt ugly.
lol pinterest is a whole stalker. guest/office room would be perfect indeed!
this is so helpful. there really isn't any reviews out there despite relentless marketing on instagram. i've been eyeing this sofa for almost a year now, but the chrome bars moving is definitely a deal breaker for me.
right?! i was like, how is there literally none 🧐
This video is the definition of a good review. I loved it and loved the way you don't recommend the sofa, literally, you made us think if it is suitable for ourselves or not. 💛
The viral "Black woman/green couch" tweet immediately made me think of you lol Imagine if all reviews were this thorough 😃 Thanks!
wait, now u gotta send me the tweet cause i dont have X and have no clue 😅 is it a theory?!
😂 Neither do I, but a post on IG had all the replies lol I'll DM the original vid there.
Woooo ! This is me rn frfr ! I'm getting ready to move so I'm weighing my furniture options 😅 what color , size , flexibility, movability. I have probably less than 30 days and the Gemini's are in full affect 😩 at this rate I'm going in with just clothes,bed and dishes 😅
embrace the empty house. building from nothing is so fun!
@@abetweene thanks! Honestly I think it's me trying to shop on line for furniture , which I've never done.
This is one of the best product reviews I’ve ever seen. Not only was the video structured well but you relied on facts rather than your subjective opinion of the couch. Super informative 👏👏👏

I have been eyeing this couch for the past year on Pinterest and did not want to risk it because of lack of reviews. Thank you for this!!!
yw!!
very interested in the update bc the bars sliding is a deal breaker... but if they fixed it I would love to get it for my dream home
@abetweene were you able to figure out how to get the bar to stop sliding.
Never heard of this sofa before so idk why this video was recommended to me, but I watched start to finish bc it's so straight to the point and well organized

Do you know if it’s mold proof?
I’m a bit worried about the lower matress being that close to the floor and am too lazy to lean it against the wall to breathe.
That's a very good point! Especially if you have tile floors
i havent had any but cant say for certain if its mold-proof. id suggest emailing the manufacturer directly for a definitive answer.
$2500 for cheap fabric, plastic hardware, mandrel bent steel, and a naked piece of foam…. disgusting and everything that’s wrong with furniture.
probably cost less than $250 to make which is what it's price should be and if it was, would probably sell like hotcakes
@@gavriloking5637 i don't think furniture or any item should cost as much as the materials it's made out off sinds people still had to make the item but unless all the workers making this couch had some extremely good wages it's overpriced as hell
@@neko0my0cat I agree with that but I would want some guarantee that the production was done ethically
I got a vintage one of these for $100. It’s dark grey and so comfy.
nice!

probably, but pretty sure most of us dont want to. 😅
I've never seen a green couch before but it looks comfy. Your taste is so unique. Miss your skincare videos.
thanks! what kind of skincare would u like to see?

got it!

I recommend getting a memory foam mattress topper if you’re using it as a bed. Its pretty affordable and makes a big difference

great review, I am not even in the market for this particular type of sofa but I am intrigued by your unbiased review.
thanks!
Thank you for reviewing this. It’s so tough to get a honest review without a ton of sponsorship.
my pleasure
I got a similar one off of etsy for half the price, as its comfortable for me to sit closer to the floor. The dupe was easy to get up a few flights of stairs, and the foam was more comfortable than the fancy brand. So if you like the look, thats one option.
congratulations

aww thanks. Glad it was helpful!
Finally a review on this thing! Moving into my new place in two weeks and have been eyeing the teddy. Great review!
thanks! good luck with your move
I might go to the show room and test this couch bed because I’m sooo interested in it
definitely recommend before committing!
Thank you very much for the review. Enjoyed it. What color did you pick? Like your choice of green.
thanks. i have the color moss
If a pet does have an accident on it would the mattress itself be safe to a wet vacuum or how would you recommend going about that?
id still launder the slipcover in the washing machine and use a handheld carpet cleaner suitable for upholstery.
I have this sofa, it’s great I love how versatile it is if I have anyone sleeping over
i really like this sofa but needed to see what others thought of it too. i like to have movie nights on the weekend with my sister and wondering if i should get one. but also wondering now what if i bought a hard foam mattress and made one myself! because i can sew and cut up foam
What an amazing review . Straight to the point , thank you !!!! I have been looking at it to have it in the spare room as a guest bed. As I don’t want a full bed there but I need a bed .And this looks like what I am after . But as you said, the question is do I want to pay the price tag 😂😂😂

Nicest sofabed I've ever seen
And, i feel like if you can get softer mattresses at the same size, you could make the top one a little more cushiony which could be nice
I don't think I'll get one unless i see it going super cheap though, I've got less than no money :P
i live in brazil so we don’t even have this kind of sofa. but watching your review inspired me to find one i love and just bought it! ❤
There's a brazilian version
Very very very well done. You should be the designated reviewer for all sofas! 😄

thanks for sharing that designer. its interesting seeing the original references! the shelves are the ikea boaxel system.
yeah im going to stick to my Kota sofa bed from Habitat. the teddy looks cute though.
Absolutely loved this. You think remaking the covers are DIY friendly?
if youre familiar with adding zippers, yes but if not, id consider it intermediate.
@@abetweene thankyou!!

2k for 2 stacked mattresses and some pillows is a big no, ngl, can do the same for at least a tenth of the price

There's something called a nugget couch and a ton of cheaper dupes for it. It's the same idea as this couch without a frame and costs about $200-$300
@@MarkPortelli I found the mattresses and have a family member build the metal part. But Im still stuck on whats inside the cushions.
@@ZZ-qy5mv and it definitely looks like it costs 200-300😭
I want something where I can turn it into a fort, Movie retreat, relaxing nap in the afternoon. After you shared your issues with the bar, this couch isn't for me, someone who slouches and lays against the back of the couch and even curls into a ball in a corner. I'd fall right off!
A****** review, so so helpful. never heard of this couch but now i know everything about it XD
thanks 😂
Thank you, 😄I've been waiting on this review!
I have never heard of the teddy couch until now. 10 out of 10, perfect review
thanks!
Thanks for the great review! Can someone tell me exactly how thick each mattress is without the covers? If I understand correctly, the seat height is 34cm, so each individual mattress is 17cm high (including covers). But how thick is the mattress core without covers?
i wouldnt say the covers add any considerable thickness so your estimation of 17cm would still be applicable
I need you to do more furniture/interior design reviews plssssssss
Really appreciate this honest review. Thank you!
yw!
I have mine since january and I am so happy
There would be air circulation and moisture and damp issues with this IMO had one like this but no metal bars long ago. This used to be an affordable and common kind of sofa back in the day
perhaps with the bars the issue is then addressed. so far ive noticed no such occurrences.
@@abetweene I had one. It absolutely is an issue with this style of sofa. Beds need sufficient air circulation to be able to breathe. because of the half litre of water human adults sweat at night
u said you had ‘one like it with no metal bars’ so my comment addressed the possibility that perhaps current brands have taken those factors into consideration when designing and picking materials.
ur dog is so cute. also any updates on the attachment?
thanks! srry, not yet
Hey, thanks for the great review! Could you post where the green chair is from ? :) Thank you!!
thanks! i thrifted it then painted it that color. its called troop beverly hills from backdrop.
Great review. Not in the market for a sofa but I watched the video anyways because I liked your vibes. 😂
thanks! 😊
hi! what color is this?
hey! i plan to move apartments/country in about 2 years, do you think this is easy to move around? thanks!
absolutely- pretty lightweight and easy to pack. cushions fit in mattress bags and chrome bars can be wrapped seperately.
when i can afford to buy this couch in 5-8 months (lmao) then I'll let them know it was you who pushed me over the edge of purchasing ❤
I already ordered a couple swatches to sample it out in my space ‼️
happy to help! and thank u for the shoutout 🤗
now thats the hardest part! took me a month to decide 😅
I wanted this sofa but didnt wanna pay for it. Instead im gonna make it myself. Buy 2 firm foam mattresses and sew together my own covers with corduroy material. I have a friend who works with steel who can make the bars for me. Will cost £250 total and take a week to make
Perfect review, thank you! 🙌
thanks 🤗
Hey thank you so much for this review, my only question is does it still spill over the top and has that had any long term impact on the shape?
yw! can u clarify what u mean by spill over the top? nonetheless the shape is still perfect 👍
Oh I meant when you said the top mattress sometimes moves over the top one
oh ok, it does happen slightly i think due to how i slide forward when getting up.
Hey, great review. You totally came off as a "nonspokesperson," aka "real." I have The Cloud, 4 yrs. in at $3200.00. Too vested now to let go. I'm not the corduroy type, but love the look. Thanks and big 👍🏿 up.
thanks. for that price i understand and would be committed too!
I was so flabbergasted at how easy it is for companies to fool people with this "joke" .Incredible
What’s the name of that website at 4:31?
