Rank #2 in Best Sofa Beds 2026: 10 Ranked, Specs That Don't Add Up
Xbro 2-Seater Extendable Pull-Out Sleeper, Dark Grey
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Xbro 2-Seater Sofa Bed is the second entry in this guide: a £199.99 pull-out sleeper in dark grey velour, with a metal frame, four castor wheels and a 4.3-star average from 589 ratings. The reason it sits this high is not a number that flatters it — it is that the listing cannot agree with itself. The spec table says Number of Packs: 1 and Unit Count: 1.0 count, while the first bullet point says the sofa bed is delivered in two separate parcels that may arrive at different times. The product name says 2-seater; the Set Name field says 3-in-1 Sofa Bed.
The dimensions split the same way. Size is given as 196 cm (L) x 147 cm (W) x 87 cm (H), Item Dimensions as 147 x 196 x 87 centimetres, and Item Depth as 196 centimetres — that is the open-bed length, not how deep the sofa is in your room. The bullet points list two footprints of their own: 147 × 82 × 87 cm as a sofa and 147 × 196 × 87 cm as a bed. The rating breakdown supplied with the listing counts 100 responses, against an average drawn from 589 ratings. Decide which figure you actually need — floor space when open, or depth when closed — and check the live listing before you order. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it was supplied to us; we have not tested the sofa and none of the measurements are ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Brilliant little sofa bed and I assembled it myself. Suggest definitely using the pictures. It's great value for money and is big when extended out. I intend to get mattress toppers etc to make it more comfortable as a bed but am very happy with it aesthetically and the seller was quick to respond to a question I had, super helpful! All in all a great buy and am happy.”
Verified purchase“Lovely sofa bed very comfy. Easy to put together clear instructions. Good value for money. Does come in two boxes at two separate times but only had to wait two days for second parcel. Would recommend”

Questions people ask
How big is the Xbro sofa bed when it is opened out?
The bullet points give the bed footprint as 147 × 196 × 87 cm. The same bullet points give the sofa footprint as 147 × 82 × 87 cm, and the separate Item Depth field is listed as 196 centimetres, which is the bed figure rather than the sofa depth.
Does the Xbro AR28 arrive assembled?
No. Buyers on the listing describe putting it together themselves — one used the pictures as a guide, another says it was relatively easy to assemble alone, and a third advises building it in the room where it will live rather than moving it afterwards.
How many parcels should I expect?
The spec table says Number of Packs: 1 and Unit Count: 1.0 count, but the first bullet point says the sofa bed is delivered in two separate parcels which may arrive at different times. One reviewer received the second box two days after the first.
How heavy is the Xbro sofa bed?
Item Weight is listed as 54 kg. The listing does not say how that weight is divided between the two parcels it describes.
What is the Xbro AR28 upholstered in?
Dark Grey velour, according to the Colour and Style fields. The care instructions say to use a dry cloth or a gentle cleaning method to protect the velour fabric.
Are cushions included with the Xbro sofa bed?
Yes. The listing says two supportive back cushions and two soft scatter cushions are supplied, along with storage pockets on both sides for magazines, remotes and books.
