to PirateFoxy I have NOT seen sofa bed options but, I have seen their sofas and they are FIRST CLASS all the way. They are upscale product and upscale for a reason. That reason is quality. I would trust an item made by American Leather but, you know its just in the nature of sofa/beds that they are notoriously NOT comfortable so, you might want to work on that "comfort" problem a little more. I know I have wrestled with it as well and finally just bought a "custom made" day bed from an architect/wood fabricator on www.etsy.com. Am waiting for it now! Will look for picture and attache for you and others to see. But, I can recommend American Leather (made in Texas) to everybody.

I'm sure you've got this sorted now, but for anyone else that lands on this thread, checkout us at bluethumb.com.au. We're Australia's largest online art marketplace with over 9000 local artists listing original works from $99. The best place to buy art online direct from artists, even if we do say so ourselves - haha. Thanks

Hi Eva! We specialise in sofa beds here at Innovation Living. Our sofa beds are designed in Denmark and feature inner-spring mattresses for superior comfort and support. If you are low on space, I would recommend the Cubed, which you can get as a double or queen size. Or if you have a bit more room, one of our favourites is the Balder. Feel free to get in touch with any questions! Cheers, Alex @ Innovation Living :)

No, it depends on your arrangements with your interior designer. Some interior designers make their primary income from having low consultation fees, but making it up by full-priced charges to the clients for purchases that they have arranged. The discount that they have negotiated with their supplier contributes to their income. On the flip side many interior designers also do the hard work of organising deliveries, checking paperwork, being on-site when furniture is delivered and supervising unpacking, installation and quality control. Also if something is wrong, or damaged during delivery they look after getting it returned and replaced. For instance are so many ways for the installation of traditional curtains to go wrong that you wouldn't believe it! But every interior design business is different and they need to structure their proposals to be affordable for their clients and still make enough money to stay in business. Newer, less experienced interior designers will be cheaper than established companies that are well known. Don't be swayed by just the pretty pictures, think about how well your interior designer addresses the practicalities of normal life in their work. Not all households can live like minimalists, and many clients like their personality to be expressed in their homes, and not look like a generic builder's display home. There is lots to consider when searching for the right fit, Best of luck with your research, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls/Dr Retro Virtual Visits
