Beige polyester on pale rubberwood legs, wider across than it stands tall: an armchair with a bed inside it. The Hastings 1 Seater Fold-Out Sofa Bed goes where a spare bed has nowhere to live — a box room, a landing, the end of a bedroom that was never wide enough for one.

One pillow comes in the box, 77cm long — a bolster rather than a scatter cushion, and the length is the clue. A seat that folds out into a bed is deeper than a back needs, so sitting right back leaves a gap behind your lower spine. Propped in a corner, the pillow decorates. Laid flat across the small of your back, it takes that depth out of the seat.

Anyone who wants to sit upright without arranging a cushion first should look at the Wing Linen Armchair - Beige instead: shallower seat, taller back, same colour.
