YAWN Air Sofa Bed

£79.99

Living in a small flat, one of the drawbacks can be that when you have more than one person come over, seating arrangements quickly become an issue. That’s before you have even considered where people are going to sleep… Hence why I was eager to put the YAWN Air Sofa Bed to the test.

My first impressions are that the Sofa Bed is convenient, comfortable, and durable, perfect for having loads of people around. When inflated, it creates a small two-seater sofa or small double bed. Living in a smaller space, I found it to be a perfect size as it didn’t take up the whole room, but still provided sufficient seating options.  

Once inflated, it is super comfortable and doesn’t feel like a standard blow-up air mattress. The inflation process was also really quick and easy. The video instructions provided on the website mean that the bed is set up in no time. Literally, the bed only takes 3 minutes or so to inflate to full size, using the electric pump that is included in the package. All you need to do is just attach the pump to the nozzle and turn the dial. The pump connects effectively to the nozzle on the bed, hence why it has such a fast inflation time.

YAWN also very usefully provide an extra storage bag.  Anyone that has used an air mattress before will know that the small bag that carries everything always gets lost, therefore showing how they have their customer’s experience in mind. However, the storage bags provided are quite flimsy and small, so it can be difficult to pack things away. (Hence why it’s quite handy that they provide another.)

In regard to the comfort of the bed itself, it’s like lying on a cloud, far from the rubbish night’s sleep that air mattresses are usually associated with. It doesn’t feel like you are lying on an inflated mattress for a number of reasons. Firstly, the rounded edges of the bed are specially designed so that you can put a fitted bedsheet on the bed if you desire. Secondly, the YAWN Air Sofa Bed has a headboard and side arms. When converted into the bed mode, the side boards are there to stop you from rolling out of bed, or your pillows falling off. Although this demonstrates some great design thinking, I found that it meant I felt a bit squished, although after a while I did begin to get used to it. Thirdly, the air nozzle works so effectively that in the morning, the bed hasn’t deflated at all.

The YAWN Air Sofa Bed adds extra convenience, as it can be used outside as the warmer weather comes in. Once again, this is brilliant if you have a load of people around for a barbecue. Furthermore, it’s really easy to clean, making it the perfect garden party companion.

The YAWN Air Sofa Bed is the best for falling into the land of nod and waking up refreshed in the morning. It is also a greatly beneficial solution to the age-old problem of finding seats for lots of guests. Before you know it, it will be a staple part of your furniture!
