This will help keep your guests from waking with back pain or metal frames squeaking or creaking.

Another way to increase the comfort of your sofa bed is to opt for a chaise extension that offers more space for guests to relax and spread out.

Storing the Couch in a manner that Allows Air to flow

When you store your couch Avoid stacking boxes on the top or against it. This can damage the frame and cushions and leave water behind, which could lead to mildew or mold. It's also important to store the suede couch at a reasonable distance from the wall in your self-storage unit in order to allow for airflow.

Additionally, it is important to clean the couch thoroughly before putting it into storage. Vacuuming the fabric, wiping down non-fabric surfaces as well as the sofa's feet are all part of this. This can help reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth even when you're not using the fabric, as well as make sure the fabric is protected from insects that could be looking for food.
