If you're hosting Christmas and need extra bedding, I can offer something more comfy than a manger...

For some, the festive season is a care-free time of parties and presents, but for others it is a little more stressful.

Yes, I am talking about the ever put-upon holiday hostess. If you have been tasked with taking in the family this year and are looking for some extra bedding, I can offer something infinitely more comfy than a manger.

While sofa beds usually favour functionality over fabulous design, I think I have found one that ticks all the boxes. With its sleek black leather textile finish and clean-cut chrome steeled legs, the Wing Sofa Bed by Innovation Living would make a chic addition to any living room or study. And with an adjustable backrest that can be set in sofa, lounge or bed position, you can guarantee guests a good night’s sleep. But with a price tag of £885 from Urbansuite, you may be looking at a lean Christmas feast to afford this pricey number!

If you want a stylish sofa bed without sacrificing all the trimmings this Christmas, look no further than Made.com. The Yoko Sofa Bed retails at £189 – that’s under a quarter of the cost of Urbansuite’s swish number! Also available in cream, willow grey and silver, the Yoko will impress even the most fussy of inlaws. So with your sleeping arrangements sorted at a snip of the price, why not splash out on a few bottles of bubbly to help you get through the season of holiday hostess madness with Christmas cheer intact!
