School holidays, family visits and weekends away all make summer the season for sleepovers. Whether you’re hosting grandchildren during the holidays or planning a weekend camping trip, having a few clever essentials on hand means you’re always ready.
The best thing is that you don’t need a dedicated guest room. With thoughtfully designed pieces, you can create a comfortable night’s sleep in minutes – and even better, pack everything neatly away again the next morning. Here we run through our Sleepover collection – a space saving, easy-to-store and portable range that offers solutions for any impromptu sleep or slouch space scenario. Each piece is handmade at our London HQ with care and attention to detail.
The ultimate grab-and-go guest bed. Compact enough to store in a cupboard or under the bed, Bed in a Bag rolls out into a comfortable floor mattress whenever you need it. Complete with a handy canvas storage bag, it’s ideal for unexpected guests, summer holiday sleepovers or taking away on camping trips and festivals.
Transform any small space into a cosy guest bedroom for one – or even two – with the Zip Up Bed. This neatly folded, zipped up futon converts to a comfortable bed in an instant. You can even zip two together to make a cosy double. When not in use as a bed, it doubles up as extra seating, making it perfect for smaller homes where every piece needs to earn its place.
Roll it out, roll it up and carry away – our clever Roly Poly is as easy as that. A brilliant option for festivals or camping, during the day it creates relaxed seating for lounging, and by bedtime, it simply rolls out into a sleep space. When you’re ready to pack up, roll it up within seconds and carry away with its practical handles – the best option for those on the go.
Looking for a bed, table and footstool in one? Meet the Cube Bed. This ingenious multifunctional piece is a small space living hero. Ideally designed for those impromptu sleepovers, it simply transforms from a compact cube shaped footstool with magazine pockets, into a comfortable sleep solution. A must have for those short on space.
If you regularly host overnight guests, but don’t have a spare room, the Lofa Sofa and Porta Bed offer a thickly filled, comfortable option. They transform from stylish seating into a cosy bed in moments, giving your guests a touch of luxury without taking up valuable space. They’re also brilliant for kids’ bedrooms, creating a cosy slouch space or reading corner.
