The problem with most sofa-beds

Most sofa beds are unattractive, clunky to setup and designed to be replaced. They're glued, stapled, sealed shut, and built for a single moment in your life - one room, one layout, one version of you. When something breaks, wears out, or no longer fits your space, the only option is to start again. That’s expensive, wasteful, and frustrating. We have designed something different.

Comfort shouldn’t be showroom-firm or overly soft - it should feel right after three hours, not three minutes.

SLOWE is designed to sit in the happy middle:

  • Comfortable enough to watch a three-hour film without fidgeting
  • Deep, cocooning support (many customers describe it as “like being in the bath”)
  • Supportive enough to sleep on properly - every night, if needed

Some customers even use it as their main bed.

It opens in seconds, slides effortlessly, and sets up in 2–3 seconds - no heavy lifting, no awkward mechanisms.

SLOWE is designed to move with you. Its flat-pack construction makes it easy to relocate and fit through homes old and new, without the stress that usually comes with large furniture.

We deliver and assemble every sofa nationwide, so it arrives ready to live with from day one. And if you ever need to move, we can also help with disassembly and reassembly if you’d like.

Your home will inevitably change. Your furniture should too. With SLOWE you’re never locked into one look.

All cushion covers are removable and washable - because life, pets, and accidents happen.

If you get bored of a colour or move home, you don’t need to reupholster the whole sofa. We can make new covers at any point, so the piece evolves with your taste.

Order fabric samples to see and feel everything properly before deciding.

SLOWE is built from precision-cut plywood - incredibly strong and structurally stable.

But more importantly, it’s designed so individual parts can be replaced if ever needed.

If something breaks, you don’t throw the sofa away - we fix it.

That’s the difference between buying furniture and buying into a system.

Each sofa is handmade in small batches in the UK by skilled makers we know by name.

  • FSC-certified, EU-traceable birch and oak
  • No mass production
  • No anonymous supply chains

Our approach is influenced by classic, long-lasting furniture - and by time spent living in Denmark and Japan, where repair and longevity are part of everyday life.

Designed for sitting. Designed for sleeping.

SLOWE is designed to be genuinely comfortable as both a sofa and a bed - supportive enough for everyday sitting, and good enough for a proper night’s sleep. There are no metal bars, no awkward mechanisms, and no short-term showroom tricks.

SLOWE is designed first and foremost as a proper everyday sofa - not a guest bed with cushions added on. The seat depth, foam layering, and back support are carefully balanced to feel comfortable over long sits, whether you’re watching a film, working from home, or relaxing in the evening.

It’s supportive without being hard, and soft without losing shape - the kind of comfort that holds up over time, not just in a showroom.

When opened, SLOWE becomes a full-length, uninterrupted sleeping surface. There are no metal bars, no segmented mattresses, and no pressure points that you’d normally associate with sofa beds.

Many customers are surprised by how normal it feels to sleep on - and some even use it as their main bed. It opens in seconds and is just as easy to put away again.

We use high-quality UK foam selected for resilience and long-term comfort, so the sofa retains its shape and support over years of use.

For those who prefer a different feel, memory foam can be added on request, allowing us to tailor the comfort more closely to your preference. If you’re unsure what will suit you best, we’re always happy to talk it through before you order.

Comfort is personal - which is why we don’t expect you to decide in a few minutes online.

Once your sofa arrives, you’ll have time to live with it properly at home - to sit, relax, and sleep on it as part of everyday life. If it doesn’t feel right for you, we’ll make it right.

If you have any questions about comfort, firmness, sleeping use, or configuration, you can speak directly with us before placing your order.

A short conversation often helps remove any uncertainty - and we’d much rather help you choose with confidence than rush you into a decision.

Once you place your order, your sofa is reserved into the next available production batch.

At checkout, you can:

Pay in full, or spread the cost with interest-free monthly payments using Shop Pay

Your order is confirmed immediately by email, and you will hear from us personally.

We make our sofa beds in small production runs, not on a production line.

Timing depends on when you order:

As little as 4 weeks if you catch the start of a batch or up to 10 weeks at the longest.

Upcoming batch windows are always shown on the website, so you know what to expect before ordering.

You won’t be left wondering what’s happening.

We’ll keep you updated when:

  • Your sofa enters production
  • It’s nearing completion
  • It’s ready to be delivered

If anything changes, we’ll let you know.

When your sofa is ready, we’ll contact you to arrange nationwide delivery at a time that suits you.

We deliver the sofa flat pack and assemble it in your room of choice, so it’s ready to live with straight away. We take away all packaging.

From there, your home trial begins.

Deliveries are Mon-Fri but weekend slots can often be arranged for most of the country.
