The Leicester Sofa Bed Range: Which Size and Shape Suits You?
The Leicester is one of the biggest families of sofas we sell at Sofa Bargain. It comes as a compact Mini corner sofa bed, a standard corner sofa bed, an extra-wide Long corner, a large U shaped sofa bed, a straight sofa bed with a pouf, and a matching armchair. They share the same clean, modern look, so it is easy to like the style and then get stuck on which shape to buy. This guide walks through each Leicester option, what the product pages say about size and sleeping space, and which kind of room each one suits best.
What the Leicester corner sofa beds have in common
The Mini, standard and Long Leicester corner sofa beds are built around the same idea: a sofa for every day, a bed for guests and storage for the things you don't want on show. According to the product pages, they share:
- A pull-out sofa bed: each converts into a sleeping area of about 193 x 123 cm when friends or family stay over.
- Hidden storage: a built-in compartment for bedding, blankets, cushions and everyday bits.
- The same seat: a seat depth of 58 cm and a seat height of 45 cm, so they all sit the same way.
- The same height: about 87 cm tall overall, with 9 cm legs that give a light, raised look.
- Free delivery and assembly: our team brings the sofa into the room of your choice and puts it together.
- A 12-month warranty: a manufacturer warranty is included.
Because the bed and seat are the same, choosing between these three is mostly about how much floor you have and how many people need to sit down at once.
The corner sizes side by side
These measurements come from the product pages and are approximate:
- Leicester Mini: 230 cm wide and 170 cm deep.
- Leicester (standard): 278 cm wide and 205 cm deep.
- Leicester Long: 345 cm wide and 205 cm deep.
The jump from the Mini to the standard model adds almost half a metre of width and 35 cm of depth. The Long adds another 67 cm of width on top of that, but keeps the same depth as the standard model. That makes the Long a good choice for a long, wide room rather than a deep one.
Leicester Mini: for flats and smaller living rooms
The Leicester Mini Corner Sofa Bed with Storage M84 keeps the Leicester look in a 230 x 170 cm footprint. The product page describes it as ideal for apartments, family homes and guest spaces where every centimetre matters. You still get the full 193 x 123 cm sleeping area and the hidden storage, so a smaller sofa doesn't mean a smaller bed.
It suits a flat where the living room has to double as the guest room, or a smaller lounge where a big corner sofa would block a door or radiator. See every fabric and colour in the Leicester Mini Sofa Bed Collection.
Leicester standard: the everyday family size
The standard Leicester, such as the Leicester Corner Sofa Bed with Storage K13, is 278 cm wide and 205 cm deep. It gives you noticeably more seating than the Mini without taking over a whole room. The collection page also notes that selected Leicester models come in different corner configurations, so you can pick the layout that suits your room.
For most family living rooms this is the sensible middle ground. There is room for everyone on a film night, and the sofa bed and storage are there when guests arrive. Browse the full Leicester Corner Sofa Bed Collection.
Leicester Long: extra seating for larger rooms
The Leicester Long Corner Sofa Bed with Storage M84 stretches to 345 cm wide. The product page describes it as an extra-long family layout for larger rooms, family living and entertaining. This particular M84 version comes in Light Grey Velvet and is a right-corner model only, so check which way your room needs the corner to face before you order. Our guide to left hand vs right hand corner sofas explains how to work it out.
Other fabrics and options are in the Leicester Long Corner Sofa Bed Collection.
Leicester U Shaped: when everyone wants a seat
If a corner sofa still isn't enough, the Leicester U Shaped Sofa Bed with Storage GJ04 wraps seating around three sides. According to the product page it measures 347 x 202 x 92 cm, has four adjustable headrests, a bedding container and a sleeping area of 210 x 125 cm. That is the longest bed in the Leicester range. It unfolds with a dolphin mechanism, which the page describes as simple and intuitive.
A U shaped sofa works best in a large, open room where it can face the TV or a fireplace with space to walk around it. If you are weighing it up, our U shaped sofa layout guide has ideas on placement. See every option in the Leicester U Shaped Sofa Bed Collection.
Leicester Sofa Bed and Pouf: for rooms without a corner
Not every room has a corner to spare. The Leicester Sofa Bed and Pouf Set N35 is a straight sofa bed measuring 261 x 97 x 75 cm. The product page describes a wooden frame on chrome metal legs, HR and T30 foams supported by wave springs, and three movable headrests. It turns into a double bed using a puma plus mechanism: the seat lifts and lowers forward while a second sleeping surface slides out from underneath, without dragging across your floor.
The legs are 9 cm high, which the page points out leaves room for a robot vacuum underneath. Browse the Leicester Sofa Bed and Pouf Collection for colours.
Finishing the room with a Leicester armchair
If you want a matching chair, the Leicester Armchair Collection comes in a range of fabrics, such as the Leicester Armchair N35. Pairing an armchair with a Mini or standard corner sofa can give you extra seating without needing a bigger sofa.
How to choose the right Leicester
Measure first
Measure the wall or walls where the sofa will go and leave space to walk around it. Don't forget the space the bed needs when it is pulled out. Our guides on what size corner sofa you need and measuring access before delivery cover this step by step.
Think about who sleeps over
The Mini, standard and Long corners all open to about 193 x 123 cm. If tall guests stay often, the U Shaped model's 210 cm sleeping length may be worth the extra space.
Check the corner side and fabric
Some Leicester versions are made for one corner side only, and colours can look slightly different on screen. Read the product title and options carefully, and contact us if you need help matching a shade.
Check delivery on the product page
Delivery estimates differ between Leicester models and fabrics, and finance orders or multiple-item purchases may take a little longer. Always check the delivery information shown on the product page before you order.
The bottom line
Choose the Leicester Mini for a smaller room, the standard Leicester for an everyday family lounge, the Long for a wide room with lots of people to seat, and the U Shaped for a big open space. If you have no corner at all, the Leicester Sofa Bed and Pouf gives you the same style on one wall. Compare more shapes and sizes in our Corner Sofa Beds With Storage range.
