The Bambillo Citta is our best-selling sofa bed — a modern, compact design built for small spaces without compromising on comfort. The armless frame fits beautifully into home offices, study rooms, studio apartments, granny flats, downsized homes, and Airbnbs where every centimetre counts.
Unlike cheaper sofa beds that fold out into a mattress on the floor, the Citta converts into a proper bed sitting 40cm off the floor with a separate headboard — the same height as the sofa, so your guests sleep just as they would in their own bed at home.

The three-layer mattress combines 4cm gel memory foam for temperature control, 4cm elasticity rebound foam, and 4cm high-density support foam — all resting on a 7cm solid pine base with a reinforced frame. No slats, no metal bars pushing through. Switch from sofa to bed in under 20 seconds using the simple CLICK, SLIDE, FOLD mechanism.
Available in four sizes — King Single, Double, Queen and King Sofa Bed — each with a hidden storage compartment under the seat for bedding. Choose from multiple fabric colours with fully removable and replaceable covers.
Delivered Australia-wide from Melbourne (contact us for individual delivery charges outside Melbourne).
The Citta is Bambillo’s best-selling sofa bed, with it’s modern compact design, separate headboard when converted to a bed and full comfort support whether your guests are sitting or sleeping. No gaps, no metal bars, no having to climb up off the floor, no compromise — 100% guaranteed.
Your guests will enjoy a great night’s sleep, just like they would in their own bed at home.
The Bambillo Citta Sofa Bed is built to maximise space in any home. The armless design means you can fit it into even the most compact room — making it the ideal sofa bed for home offices, home study rooms, downsized properties, studio apartments, granny flats, an extra bed in the lounge, and Airbnb hosts who need a second sleeping option without sacrificing floor space.
Whether you’re turning a bedroom into a multi-purpose room or you no longer have space for a permanent second bed, the Citta gives you the function of a proper bed and a comfortable sofa in one.
Here’s what sets the Bambillo Citta apart from cheaper (and a few expensive) alternatives: no sleeping on the floor.
Many sofas claim to be sofa beds when they’re really just a fold-out mattress on the floor. You and your guests deserve better. The Citta converts into a proper bed that sits 40cm off the floor — the same height as the sofa — with a separate headboard once converted. This ensures the mattress can breathe and keeps floor-level dirt and bacteria away from your sleeping surface.
Every Bambillo Citta Sofa Bed is built to strict quality standards, with a 7cm solid pine wood base, solid board (no slats or wire mesh here) for both the seat and bed, reinforced horizontal frame under the seat and bed, and carbon aluminium gliding rail systems all providing strength and support. We’ve engineered it with the same sitting and sleeping height off the floor, so it feels familiar from the moment your guests sit down or lie back.
The Citta switches seamlessly from sofa to bed in seconds using a high strength-to-weight ratio carbon aluminium gliding rail system combined with larger easy glide wheels. No struggling, no lifting heavy frames. You can switch from sofa to bed in under 20 seconds with three steps – CLICK, SLIDE, & FOLD
Step 1 – CLICK the latch on the underside at the floor on the front underside of the seat
Step 2 – SLIDE the entire seat section out from the sofa
Step 3 – FOLD out the headrest by opening it out and folding it flat into the horizontal bed position
Available in 4 sizes, to fit into any space including those smaller spaces where other sofa beds just won’t work. All the Citta Sofa Beds come with large padded storage compartments hidden under the seat for bedding and pillows to give you additional storage:
Forget thin sofa bed mattresses with metal bars pushing through. The Citta’s mattress is built from three specialist foam layers:
Together, they create a medium-firm feel that works equally well as a sofa and a bed.
Choose from multiple colour options to match your space. Every fabric cover on the Citta Sofa Bed — including the side panels and headboard — is fully removable, cleanable (dry clean recommended), and replaceable. Refresh the look in years to come without replacing the whole sofa.
Yes — 90% of customers report the Citta Sofa Bed is comfortable for both sitting and sleeping. Unlike older sofa beds with thin mattresses and metal bars pushing through, the Citta uses three layers of specialist foam on a solid base for proper support.
The three foam layers work together to deliver a medium-firm feel:
Together they provide a supportive sofa during the day and a genuinely restful sleep at night
No. The Citta is a proper pullout sofa bed, not a fold-out futon. When converted, the bed sits 40cm off the floor – the same height as the sofa seat and just like a traditional Australian bed.
Many cheaper sofa beds are simply mattresses folded into a seat shape, which fold out onto the floor when used as a bed. The Citta is built differently: a separate, elevated sofa where the seat slides out, and the headrest folds down to make the bed, keeping your guests off the floor and giving them the comfort of a real bed
The Citta Sofa Bed converts from sofa to be in under 20 seconds using three simple steps
No heavy lifting, no struggling trying to dig out the frame from inside the sofa, no spring loaded mechanisms, no on the floor futon and no tools required
Yes — every fabric cover on the Citta Sofa Bed is fully removable, including the side panels, headrest, and headboard. We recommend dry cleaning the covers to preserve the fabric and colour.
This makes the Citta a practical choice for households with pets, kids (including those big kids), people with dust allergies or simply where you freshen up your sofa bed
Yes. If your covers get damaged or you simply want to refresh the look, you can order a new set of fabric covers and replace them yourself at home — no need to reupholster or replace the whole sofa.
This is useful when:

Both the Citta and Bella are armless Bambillo Sofa Beds designed for compact, space-saving setups. The two key differences are:
Both models use the same three layer foam system and convert from sofa to bed the same way
Yes – the Citta Sofa Bed is built for regular use, not just occasional guest sleeping. The solid pine base, reinforced frame, and three layer foam mattress are designed to perform like a proper bed night after night, making it suitable for studio apartments, granny flats, or anyone using it as their primary bed
The Citta Sofa Bed requires a small amount of assembly — you’ll need to attach the feet, headrest, and headboard. It ships in a single package, designed to fit through standard Australian doorways and hallways (a fully assembled sofa bed would be too large to deliver into most homes).

The Citta Sofa Bed is available in four sizes to suit any space:
All four sizes include the same three layer mattress, separate headboard, and hidden storage compartment under the seat
A sofa bed converts into a proper bed elevated off the floor — typically with a mattress, frame, headboard and is a combination of both a proper sofa and a proper bed. A futon is a mattress that folds into a seat shape, then folds out flat onto the floor when used as a bed to give you a traditional futon style.
The Citta is a true sofa bed: the bed sits 40cm off the floor at standard bed height, with a separate headboard and a 12cm thick three-layer mattress. Cheaper “sofa beds” are often just futons in disguise — just a mattress, cut in half or in thirds with a cover over it, and just have the mattress flat on the floor for a bed or folded up into a seat shape.
