Default Best Place To Purchase A Sofa Bed

We have bought a place in near Lecco (45km North of Milan) and we are looking to replace an old sofa bed. Does anyone have knowledge of a quality furniture dealer in that region that we can visit to look at design/style etc.

you're house is on the edge of the largest furniture manufacturing area in Europe,
in the zone between Monza-como- desio-seregno etc are nearly all the names you probably know,most of these have show rooms outlets etc,i'd suggest that you look thru almost any magazine italian or english for something you like then find where they are or where there are stores that have their divans etc,if in doubt ask the neighbours.

For good modern design you can try Nicoletty, have a look at:

Nice stuff.... but I find that if catalogues don't have prices it means it's too expensive for me!

Well, I'm afraid that cheaper options may mean IKEA or MONDO CONVENIENZA. Nothing wrong with them as some of their options are good and could suit any decor.

Sue I sympathise. I was looking at a garden furniture printed catalogue in Italy recently and was pleasantly surprised regarding prices. However it means dialogue with the sales assistant who has to look the cost up and a having subsequent feeling one ought then just to order. That happened with my bathroom furniture too. Much better for the client to see everyone's prices both online and in print, then choose without pressure.

.A lot of the Ikea stuff is toot ,but their furniture is not bad and we are happy with the sofa bed we bought from them .You are not far from us so I think you will find you can order online and they will deliver to your property,which is an advantage

If you fancy a good quality sofa bed with a sprung mattress, have a look at this make - they are found in good furniture shops. Very comfortable to sleep on.
