Kahlo Sofa Bed Review:
The Kahlo Sofa Bed has a high customer rating, with many customers agreeing that its beautiful, easy to convert into a bed, and is good quality. The Kahlo sofa in standard polyester has a higher rating at 4.4/5 stars from 122 reviews, while the velvet option has a slightly lower rating at 4.1/5 stars from 102 reviews.
Pros:
- Many have said that the Kahlo sofa is easy to assemble and switch between chair and bed layouts.
- Many agree that the Kahlo is sturdy and high quality, perfectly sized for either a single or double sofa bed that is quick and easy to set up and sleep on for a couple of nights.
- Other features that customers were please with included the hidden pockets to store the two extra legs for the bed when not in use, and the comfort of the padding which especially praised for the velvet option, though noted repeatedly in reviews of the standard seat as well.
Cons:
- Some buyers found the bed uncomfortable. They commented that the cushions are quite hard to sleep on and that they don’t spring back to form particularly easily once dented – for example with prolonged pressure or body weight. You may want to purchase a mattress topper if you plan on using the sofa bed often. The Dorma mattress topper is a good and inexpensive option.
- Other customers have said that they had to wait a long time (in some cases 4 months) for the sofa to arrive. However, once they received it, many said it was worth the wait.
Overall, customers are pleased with the seat for quality, comfort and ease of use for the price point offered.
