Lifely Cushie Modular Sofa Bed Review: The Furniture That Quietly Transformed our Living Space

Some furniture looks good in a showroom and then quietly disappoints once it arrives home. Others slowly earn their place in your life, until you realise you cannot imagine the space without them. After two months of living with the Lifely Cushie Modular Sofa Bed, it firmly sits in the second category.

What started as a practical seating solution has become one of the most versatile and genuinely useful pieces of furniture in our home. It has been a sofa, an armchair, a guest bed, and a surprisingly comfortable spot for movie nights. And it has done all of it without looking like a compromise.

First impressions, modern, elevated, and effortless

The first thing that stands out about the sofa is its design. It looks modern, clean, and intentional. There is nothing bulky or clunky about it. Instead, it has a soft, elevated aesthetic that feels more designer lounge than sofa bed.

In a living room, it blends seamlessly with contemporary interiors, neutral palettes, and minimalist styling. It does not scream multifunctional furniture, which is often the downfall of sofa beds. It simply looks like a well- designed piece of seating.

Living with it for two months, where it really shines

The real test of any modular sofa is not how it looks on day one, but how it performs over time. After two months of daily use, the Cushie has proven itself to be one of the most adaptable pieces of furniture we own.

Sofa by day

As a sofa, it feels supportive without being firm. The cushions hold their shape, and the proportions feel balanced for both sitting upright and relaxing. It works equally well as a main seating option or as a secondary lounge piece in a living room, study, or guest space.

Armchair moments

One of the unexpected pleasures is how easily it is to enjoy in the armchair style setup. It is perfect for reading, scrolling, or simply stretching out with a coffee. It feels less like furniture you sit on, and more like furniture you actually use.

Guest bed without the drama

Where the sofa really earns its keep is as a bed. The transformation from sofa to bed is seamless and intuitive. There are no awkward mechanisms or heavy lifting involved. Within seconds, it becomes a cosy sleeping space that feels genuinely comfortable. That is because it is not just a sofa pretending to be a bed.

Engineered with pocket springs and memory foam, it feels like a real mattress, not an afterthought. Guests have commented on how comfortable it is, which is rare praise for a sofa bed. For apartments, spare rooms, and homes without dedicated guest bedrooms, this alone makes it invaluable.

Movie nights and laidback living

Beyond practicality, it has quietly become our go to spot for relaxed evenings. Laid out flat, it creates a generous lounging space that feels perfect for movie nights. It is the kind of furniture that invites you to sprawl out, rather than sit formally. It has changed how we use our living room, making it feel more flexible and lived in.

The Details

The Cushie is a real sofa and a real bed, not one pretending to be the other. The modular design means it can adapt to different spaces and layouts over time. Being lightweight and flexible, it grows with your home rather than locking you into a single configuration.

Practical details make it even more appealing:

  • Spill and stain resistant fabric
  • Machine washable covers
  • Lightweight modular pieces
  • Pocket spring and memory foam comfort

These are the features that matter in real life, not just in product descriptions.

Who it is perfect for

After living with it, it makes sense for:

  • Apartment living where space matters
  • Homes that regularly host guests
  • People who want flexible furniture without sacrificing style
  • Families who want durable, easy care seating
  • Anyone who loves movie nights and relaxed lounging

It feels especially suited to modern Australian homes, where rooms often need to serve multiple purposes.

The Wrap

After two months of use, the Cushie has proven to be far more than just another sofa. It is one of those rare furniture pieces that genuinely improves how you use your space. It looks good, feels comfortable, adapts effortlessly, and makes hosting guests feel easy rather than stressful.

In a world full of furniture that promises versatility, this one actually delivers it. You can explore the Cushie Modular Sofa Bed here.
