My parents have the LYCKSELE MURBO (there's also the LYCKSELE LOVAS, MURBO and LOVAS being two different mattresses). They're both on the heavier side and were comfortable enough trying in the store to consider inviting their friends to sleep on it (they're in their late 50s-early 60s, as are their friends, so they have some standards). I used to sleep on their twin sized LYCKSELE, but haven't spent a full night on their LYCKSELE MURBO (which us now only full size). I have napped on it and it's fairly comfortable. If you're planning on using it regularly, you can even fit a rolled topper underneath. But as most sofa-beds, probably not the best for every-day usage. U would go with a daybed in that case, one thar can turn into a king bed. Just be mindful to have one that can have thicker mattresses, as many require thin ones, which won't be comfortable for an adult. Answer from xjakob145 on reddit.com

My Honest Review of 5 IKEA Sleeper Sofas — Plus 4 Others That Get Points for Style
October 3, 2024 - Just as there is no best sofa, there is no best IKEA sofa bed; it all depends on your preferences and needs. That said, my favorite of the ones I tried was probably the Friheten — the three-seater, not the sectional.

Best Sofa bed or Day Bed at Ikea
My four year old sleeps on a Hemnes daybed, and it's sturdy enough his dad and I to both be sitting on it while tucking him at night. It fits a standard twin mattress, and I suppose it's as comfortable as any other daybed would be with the same mattress. More on reddit.com

Which small sofa bed for office?
I have the Lycksele, and had sleep on it for long durations (weeks) with no issues. It's fine if you go with the firmest mattress IMO. Had that thing for 5+ years now and survived two movings, so I think it's quite good. Also looking at the mattress, it seems PS and Lycksele uses the same kind of mattresses (Lovas/Murbo)? Just different sizes as neither is standard. One criteria I have is that it should look good as a sofa. The PS looks rather like a bed folded up instead. More on reddit.com

Sofabed recommendations?
The Friheten sofa bed is my personal favorite. Purchased one when I was renting with my sister for a couple years and then when I moved in with my boyfriend I got a new one in 2015. Very durable with pets and super comfy! I like the grey color as it goes with most any decor. http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/spr/69216757/?query=S69216757&cid=a1%3Asm%7Ca2%3Aus%7Ca3%3Aappshare%7Ca4%3Astore_app%7Ca5%3Aios%7Ca6%3Ashare%7Ca7%3Aikeaglobal%7Ccc%3A216 More on reddit.com

I have yet to actually buy one, but looked through them pretty thoroughly at my local ikea the other day. My takes: - balkarp: really firm for sitting and sleeping. Also really short. - friheten: on display models can generally feel the frame through the cushions when sitting. Seems decent as a bed, but not that nice as a sofa - vretstorp: seems really firm as a sofa. Reviews are pretty bad. -morabo: still seems pretty firm as a sofa, but should be decent as cushions soften. Sleeping surface is a tad firm too, but at least it's spacious and flat. This is the one I'd get if I had to choose right now. -finnala/harlanda: relatively cushy as sofas, and fold-out mattress is pretty soft too. Definitely best sofa-mode sleeper. What worries me is that the slats under the top 2/3rds of the mattress seem to flex a fair amount, while the bar 2/3rds of the way down is totally rigid. Worried this can create a bit of a weird sagging bed situation that pull-out sleepers seem to be somewhat known for, especially as the mattress wears. Maybe it'd be fine, though! Hard to say for sure without actually sleeping on it. Good luck!

The Best Sleeper Sofas of 2025 | Reviews by Wirecutter
3 weeks ago - When we attempted to fold the bed in without the couch sitting flush against a wall, the weight of the mechanism caused the entire frame to tip backward. Several contract-grade spring-and-bar models we considered—but ultimately dismissed, due to our decision about the mechanism—included the West Elm Harmony, Harris, and Haven, and the Pottery Barn Chesterfield Roll Arm Sleeper Sofa. We tried IKEA’s Morabo (a fold-out model), Älvdalen (a pop-up model), and Bårslӧv (a flip-down model), but the center line in each felt too extreme under our backs.
