Why do I think the evening Is the Hudson Sofa Bed Worth Spotlighting? First, because of its affordable price point. It’s a large three-seater sofa bed that costs just £339, and while it’s certainly not pennies, it’s *extremely* cheap compared to most sofas. the bed of this size.
For reference, a little bigger Julien Sofa Bed from Accommodation Priced at £850 and a three-seater Bromley sofa bed from Darlings of Chelsea Retails at £2000. You’ll see why I think DUSK’s Hudson is *too* cheap in comparison.

Second, the Hudson is stylish. At this price point, most sofa beds I’ve experienced and certainly *look* pretty basic. In comparison, the Hudson’s modern silhouette and slim build make for some very stylish seats.
Upholstery options are also on trend. The off-white boucle fabric and olive green colorway may sell, but personally, I love the timeless striped upholstery and rusty terracotta color.
And third, this sofa bed gets *great* reviews from shoppers who have taken the plunge and made the investment. DUSK is an online-only retailer, so give it a try Furniture It can be difficult to stand out in person, and honest online reviews are extremely helpful. The number of 5-star reviews of this sofa bed is very reassuring.

‘Surprisingly high quality for the cost’, shares one happy owner, ‘I love the way it looks and feels in our spare bedroom.’
‘I’m thrilled with it,’ says another 5-star reviewer. ‘Easy to put together, comes in a box, so no problem getting through my tricky front door, great value, fab style and design. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I think the product deserves it.’
A third owner shares, ‘Great value for money,’ our room felt lovely and comfortable. I wouldn’t want it as an everyday sofa, but it’s fine for occasional use.’
This echoes what the Ideal Home team felt when testing the Hudson sofa bed. Our reviewer, Thea, who regularly hosts friends and family in her tiny apartment, agrees with all the online reviews.

in her DUSK Hudson Sofa Bed ReviewThea noted that she found Hudson a bit difficult to assemble on her own (in comparison, us Swift Model 08 Sofa Bed *Far* easier to assemble – plus there’s a white glove delivery option where the delivery team does it for you – but then the Swift model is four times the price of the Hudson).
Thea also agreed that as a sofa, the Hudson’s seat is a little too firm for comfortable everyday use, but found it suitable as an occasional seat. And his 6’4″ brother struggled with the length of the sleeping area: Hudson’s armrests don’t separate, so he’s forced to sleep diagonally to find enough legroom. One reviewer notes, ‘Great for sleeping – unless you’re taller than 5’7″.
I would also recommend factoring in adding one of them The best mattress toppers For your purchase a little extra sleep comfort and to protect the sofa bed seat cushion, but this is the case with almost all sofa beds.
