Sectional Sofa Bed – Usage & Maintenance Tips

By ARV Furniture – Mississauga, Ontario

Usage Tips

Maximize Space Functionality

Arrange your sectional sofa bed in a corner to save floor space and create a cozy setup.

Use the chaise or storage compartments (if available) for blankets, pillows, or seasonal items.

Proper Conversion

Always clear the sofa of cushions and accessories before pulling out the bed.

Pull the mechanism slowly and evenly to avoid bending the frame or damaging the fabric.

Weight Distribution

Avoid placing heavy items on the pull-out bed section when not in use.

Distribute weight evenly when sleeping to prevent sagging of the mattress.

Daily Comfort

Use a fitted mattress protector to increase comfort and protect the mattress from stains.

Add a mattress topper for additional back support if used frequently.

Maintenance Tips

Regular Cleaning

Vacuum the upholstery weekly, especially between cushions and seams, to prevent dust buildup.

If fabric: Use a mild fabric cleaner and spot clean spills immediately.

If leather: Wipe with a damp cloth and condition every 3–6 months to prevent cracking.

Frame & Mechanism Care

Open and close the bed mechanism gently; avoid forcing it.

Tighten screws and bolts every few months to maintain stability.

Keep the tracks and joints clean; use a dry cloth to wipe off dust.

Mattress Longevity

Rotate or flip the mattress occasionally to prevent uneven wear.

Air out the bed by leaving it open for a few hours every few weeks.

Protect Against Damage

Keep pets’ nails trimmed to avoid scratching fabric or tearing leather.

Avoid eating or drinking directly on the sofa bed to reduce the risk of stains.

Use armrests and seat covers if your sofa bed is in a high-traffic area.

✅ ARV Furniture Tip: Treat your sectional sofa bed like two pieces of furniture in one—a sofa for daily lounging and a bed for occasional or regular sleeping. With regular care, your investment will last for many years.
