The Bambillo Rio Click Back is our most affordable sofa bed — a modern take on the classic click-clack design, with inner springs and a pillow-top layer that delivers a soft, plush feel. The armless three-seater design fits naturally into home offices, lounges, open-plan living, granny flats and Airbnb guest rooms.
Unlike cheaper sofa beds that fold out into a mattress on the floor, the Rio converts into a proper bed sitting 45cm off the floor — the same height as the sofa, so your guests sleep just as they would in their own bed at home.
Built on a solid metal-frame base with a wood frame around the seat and back, the Rio uses inner springs and a pillow-top layer for a soft-medium feel — ideal for anyone who finds memory foam too firm. Convert from sofa to bed in under 20 seconds using the strengthened interlocking click-back mechanism and foldable rear legs.
Available in two sizes — Double Sofa Bed (120cm deep) and Queen Sofa Bed (150cm deep), both 193cm wide. The main seat and headrest cover is fully removable, cleanable and replaceable.
Delivered Australia-wide from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart.

Your guests will enjoy a great night’s sleep, just like they would in their own bed at home.
The Bambillo Rio Click Back Sofa Bed is built to compliment the space in any home. The armless design gives you a three-seater sofa with room to stretch out — making it the ideal sofa home offices, lounges, open plan living, and Airbnb hosts who need a second sleeping option without breaking the bank.
Whether you want a multi-purpose sofa in the lounge or you’re after an affordable sofa-and-bed in one, the Rio Click Back gives you the best of both.
Here’s what sets the Bambillo Rio Click Back 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 Rio converts into a bed that sits 45cm 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 Rio Click Back Sofa Bed is built to strict quality standards, with a solid metal frame base, a solid wood frame around the seat and back, inner-spring seat and headrest (no slats or wire mesh here), strengthened metal-lock click clack mechanism, and hidden foldable rear headrest legs – all providing robust strength and durability. 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 Rio Click Back switches seamlessly from sofa to bed in seconds using strengthened interlocking click-clack mechanism. You can switch from sofa to bed in under 20 seconds with three steps –
Step 1 – Move the Rio Click Back away from any wall
Step 2 – Unzip the back side of the headrest covers and pop out the two foldable rear legs ensuring they are fully extended and locked in place
Step 3 – Push the back of the headrest forward till you hear that distinctive click of the click-clack mechanism, then slowly move the headrest backwards to lower it flat
Available in 2 sizes, Both Rio Click Back Sofa Beds are 193cm wide -the difference is the depth of the bed when the headrest is folded flat:
The Rio Click Back is our softest sofa bed:
Together, they create a soft-medium feel that works equally well as a sofa and a bed – particularly suited to anyone who finds a medium-firm mattress too firm
Choose from multiple colour options to match your space. The main cover over the pillow top layer across the seat and headrest is fully removable, cleanable (dry clean recommended), and replaceable. Refresh the seat and backrest cover in years to come without replacing the whole sofa.

Yes — the Rio Click Back is the softest sofa bed in our range, with a soft-medium feel. Unlike older click clack sofa beds with thin mattresses, metal bars pushing through, or a sinking gap in the middle, the Rio uses a solid frame with inner springs and pillowtop layer.
The design provides a soft-medium feel:
Together they provide a supportive soft sofa during the day and a genuinely restful sleep at night
No. The Rio Click Back is a true click clack sofa bed where the backrest folds down to make the bed – it does not fold out onto the floor. When converted, the bed sits 45cm off the floor and is designed to sleep across the width.
Many cheaper sofa beds are simply mattresses folded into a seat shape, which fold out onto the floor when used as a bed. The Rio is built differently: simply click the headrest forward to unlock, then 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 Click Back Sofa Bed converts from sofa to bed in under 20 seconds using three simple steps
No struggling trying to dig out the frame from inside the sofa, no spring loaded internal bed mechanisms, no on the floor futon and no tools required
The main seat cover and headrest cover over the pillowtop layer can be fully unzipped and removed. To remove, unzip fully and unclip each tuft point (the distinctive ‘dimples’ you see on the seat and headrest) to remove. We recommend dry cleaning the seat and headrest cover to preserve the fabric and colour. This ensures you can keep the seat and sleeping areas clean and fresh
The fabric surrounding the base and back of the headrest is stitched in and cannot be removed.
The main seat and headrest cover that sits over the pillowtop layer is removable and replaceable. If it gets damaged or you simply want to refresh the look, you can order a new fabric cover and replace it yourself at home — no need to reupholster or replace the whole sofa.

The Rio Click Back is an improved design on the standard click-clack sofa beds. The key differences are:
Yes – the Rio Click Back Sofa Bed is built for regular use, not just occasional guest sleeping. The solid metal frame, inner springs, and pillowtop layer are designed to perform like a proper bed night after night, making it suitable for apartments, granny flats, or anyone using it as their primary bed
The Rio Click Back Sofa Bed requires only a small amount of assembly — you’ll just need to attach the main feet to the metal frame. That’s it.
The rest, including the rear backrest legs, comes fully assembled. The Rio Click Back ships in one large package similar in size to a large double or queen mattress

The Rio Click Back Sofa Bed is available in two sizes:
A sofa bed converts into a proper bed elevated off the floor — typically with a mattress and frame combining a proper sofa and a proper bed in one. 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 Rio Click Back is a true sofa bed: the bed sits 45cm off the floor at standard bed height, with an inner spring base and pillowtop layer. Cheaper “sofa beds” are often just futons in disguise — just a mattress, cut in half or in thirds with a cover over it, sitting flat on the floor as a bed or folded up into a seat shape during the day.
