Description
Jay-Be Linea: a UK made sofa bed with square arms
The Jay-Be Linea is a UK made sofa bed with clean, square track arms: a 198cm 3 seater that unfolds into a 195 x 144cm sprung-mattress bed. It is made to order in the UK in 26 fabrics, costs £2,028.99 and is delivered free to mainland England and Wales.
The Linea is the most understated of the range: a straight back, square arms and a shallow 98cm depth, so it sits neatly against a wall and suits almost any room. It is also the most flexible family, with a Linea 2 seater, a Linea 4 seater and a Linea snuggler chair bed in matching fabrics if you want a set.
Will it fit my room?
The sofa needs 198 x 98cm of floor and stands 85cm high (57cm at the arm). Opened, it is 215cm from the back of the sofa to the foot of the bed. If width is tight, the Slim 3 seater makes the same size bed from a 170cm sofa.

The mattress: what you are actually sleeping on
This is a sofa bed with a real sprung mattress rather than a thin foam pad. Jay-Be’s deep e-Sprung mattress is built in layers: a viscose-enriched cover, wool comfort layers on both sides, breathable e-Fibre support layers, high-density e-Fibre and an e-Spring core in the middle. The sleeping area is 195 x 144cm, which is wider than a UK double mattress (135 x 190cm), so two adults have more room than on most pull-out sofa beds. Because of that width, a king-size fitted sheet usually fits better than a double.
The mattress stays on the frame when the bed is folded away. The seat and back cushions stay on the sofa too, so there is nothing to lift off and find a home for before your guests go to bed.
How the four Jay-Be 3 seater sofa beds compare
All four use the same fold-out mechanism and the same 195 x 144cm deep e-Sprung mattress, and all four are made to order in the UK in the same 26 fabrics. The differences are the shape, the footprint and the price.
