The Bambillo Milano is Australia’s best-selling sofa bed with arms — a traditional straight-arm design with separated top cushion that brings a classic sofa look to any room. The medium-width arm profile means the Milano still fits into compact home offices, study rooms, studios, granny flats and Airbnb guest spaces.
Unlike cheaper sofa beds that fold out into a mattress on the floor, the Milano converts into a proper bed sitting 40cm off the floor — 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 — on a 7cm solid pine base with a reinforced frame. Switch from sofa to bed in under 20 seconds using the simple CLICK, SLIDE, FOLD mechanism.
Available in four sizes — King Single (125cm), Double (145cm), Queen (175cm) and King Sofa Bed (205cm) — each with a hidden storage compartment under the seat. Choose from multiple fabric colours with fully removable and replaceable covers, including the arms and headrest.
Delivered Australia-wide from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart.
The Milano is Bambillo’s best-selling sofa bed with arms, with it’s traditional straight arm sofa design, a classic sofa seat look with separated top cushion and full comfort three layer 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 Milano Sofa Bed is built to maximise space in any home. The arms have a medium width profile so the Milano still fits it into compact rooms — making it the ideal sofa bed with arms 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 Milano gives you the function of a proper bed and a comfortable traditional sofa in one.
Here’s what sets the Bambillo Milano 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 Milano converts into a proper bed that sits 40cm off the floor — the same height as the sofa. This ensures the mattress can breathe and keeps floor-level dirt and bacteria away from your sleeping surface.
Every Bambillo Milano 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 Milano 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, designed fit into your space. All the Milano 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 Milano’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.
Multiple Colours, Fully Removable Covers
Choose from multiple colour options to match your space. Every fabric cover on the Milano Sofa Bed — including the arms and headrest — is fully removable, cleanable (dry clean recommended), and replaceable. Refresh the look in years to come without replacing the whole sofa.
We deliver across Australia including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart. Note additional delivery costs may apply outside of Melbourne.
Yes — 90% of customers report the Milano Sofa Bed is comfortable for both sitting and sleeping. Unlike older sofa beds with thin mattresses and metal bars pushing through, the Milano 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 Milano 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 Milano 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 Rio Sofa Bed converts from sofa to bed 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 Milano Sofa Bed is fully removable, including the arms, headrest, and separate top seat cushion. We recommend dry cleaning the covers to preserve the fabric and colour.
This makes the Milano a practical choice for households with pets, kids (including big kids), people with dust allergies or anyone who likes to freshen up their 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.

There are three key differences between the Milano and Citta:
Both models use the same three layer foam system and conversion mechanism
Yes – the Milano 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 Milano Sofa Bed requires a small amount of assembly — you’ll need to attach the feet and headrest. 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 Milano Sofa Bed is available in four sizes to suit any space:
All four sizes include the same three layer mattress, separate top seat cushion, 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 Milano is a true sofa bed: the bed sits 40cm off the floor at standard bed height, with 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.
