ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sofa bed

A sofa bed is like a couch that can turn into a bed! Imagine your regular couch where you like to sit and watch your favorite movies or cartoons. Sometimes, when friends or family members come over, they might need a place to sleep. Instead of making them sleep on the floor, you can pull out the bed part that is hidden inside the couch.

Just like magic, the couch cushions will separate and fold out to make a flat surface for someone to sleep on, kind of like a cozy little nest. The bed part usually has a mattress and some blankets, too, so your guests can feel nice and comfortable.

When you are done using the sofa bed as a bed, you can just fold it back up again to be a couch. And that's how a sofa bed is like a couch and a bed all in one!
