The frame of a sofa bed is made most often wood, although newer options include steel, plastic or a combination of all. Dried maple wood is the best material to utilise, as it is free from compromising deformities and it is also, utilised under the upholstery. 
The legs of sofa beds are made of wood as well as plastic. If wood is used for the legs of sofa beds they can be of mahogany, walnut types of wood. The padding which is used in mass production within the sofa bed is made from foam and polyester. 
Cushions which are placed to make a sofa bed extra comfortable for seating and sleeping are made of polyester fibre, polyurethane foam, cotton or even cotton wrapped springs.
