Short answer: The Naptime Stay is a convertible sofa that becomes a Queen-size bed, built with pocket springs rather than a folding wire frame, and upholstered in a light grey fabric. It measures 153 × 104 × 77 cm as a sofa, is priced at $849 for the Queen, and is delivered in two boxes to your door. It suits guest rooms, studios, apartments and home offices — anywhere a room has to do two jobs. There is no bar running through the back.
Here is the detail: the dimensions, what it is made of, how it is delivered, and how to work out whether a sofa bed is the right answer for your room.

What are the Naptime Stay's dimensions?
As a sofa: 153 × 104 × 77 cm (width × depth × height).
As a bed: Queen. That is the standard Australian Queen footprint of 153 × 203 cm, so it takes standard Queen fitted sheets — no specialty bedding, no hunting for an odd size.
It is delivered in two boxes:
| Box dimensions | Weight | |
|---|---|---|
| Box 1 | 165 × 39 × 38 cm | 36.7 kg |
| Box 2 | 130 × 40 × 27 cm | 11.7 kg |
Box 1 is long and narrow rather than wide and square, which makes a difference in a flat with a tight hallway or a turn at the top of a stairwell. Measure your narrowest turn before delivery day, not after.
Pocket springs in a sofa bed: why it matters
Most sofa beds in this category are built on a folding metal frame with a thin pad over it. The Stay is built with pocket springs instead.
There is no bar running through the back. That is a structural fact about how the Stay is built, and it is the single most common complaint people have about sofa beds they have slept on elsewhere.
The feel is medium-firm.
You do not need to spend $1,600 to get springs in a sofa bed. That is the gap the Stay is built to sit in: sprung construction at $849.
Do I need a sofa bed, a spare mattress, or a spare room?
Work backwards from how the room is actually used.
- A room that is a lounge, office or study most of the time, and a bedroom occasionally. This is what a sofa bed is for. The furniture you look at every day is a sofa; the bed appears when it is needed.
- A room that is a bedroom most of the time. Buy a bed. A sofa bed used as a permanent bed is the wrong tool, and you will get more mattress for your money buying a bed frame and a mattress separately.
- Guests once or twice a year, and a cupboard to spare. A folding guest bed or an air mattress is cheaper. The trade-off is that you look at a cupboard, not a sofa.
The honest test is how many days a year the room needs to be a bedroom. Somewhere above a handful and below most of them, a sofa bed earns its place.
Where does a sofa bed work best?
- Studios and one-bedroom apartments, where the living room is also the guest room.
- Home offices, which sit empty at exactly the times guests arrive.
- Kids' and teens' rooms, where sleepovers are a recurring event rather than a rare one.
- Holiday houses and granny flats, where sleeping capacity matters more than a dedicated bedroom.
- Rentals, where a second bedroom is not on the table and floor space is the constraint.
What is the Stay made of?
Light grey upholstery fabric over a pocket-sprung build. The foam used in Naptime products is CertiPUR-US® certified foam, and the Stay's cover is an OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified cover, Product Class I.
As with any product carrying these marks, they certify the materials — the foam and the fabric — rather than the finished item.
How is the Stay delivered?
Drop-off to your door only. Assembly and carry-in services are not included.
Two boxes arrive rather than one. The heavier is 36.7 kg, so plan on a second person for delivery day, and clear the route to the room before the boxes arrive.
How to choose a sofa bed: five things worth checking
- What is under the surface. A wire frame and a sprung build are different products at similar prices. Ask what the sleeping surface is built on before you compare anything else.
- The bed size, not the sofa size. Sofa beds are often sold on their sofa dimensions with the bed size in the fine print. A Queen bed is a different proposition to a double.
- The delivery terms. Drop-off, carry-in and assembly are three different services and they are not interchangeable. Check which one you are buying.
- The box dimensions against your access. Not the room — the hallway, the stairwell, the lift and the tightest corner between the street and the room.
- The bedding you already own. A Queen sofa bed takes the Queen sheets in your linen cupboard. An odd size means buying bedding on top of the sofa.

Is a sofa bed worth it?
It depends on how often the room has to be a bedroom. If a lounge, study or office needs to sleep guests several times a year, a sofa bed means you are not furnishing a room that sits empty. If the room is a bedroom most of the time, a bed frame and a mattress will give you more for the same money.
