As housing becomes more compact in major Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne, multifunctional furniture is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. One of the most innovative solutions emerging in recent years is the compressed sofa bed — a full-sized, stylish, and functional couch that ships compactly and expands into comfort upon unpacking.
What Is a Compressed Sofa?
A compressed sofa bed is tightly packed into a small, vacuum-sealed box using advanced foam compression technology. Once delivered, it expands naturally over a few hours, giving customers a full-size sofa without the bulky shipping and moving stress.
This concept is gaining rapid popularity in Australia, especially among renters, apartment dwellers, and interior minimalists.
The PortaSofa Approach: Nova and Flippo Series
At PortaSofa, we’ve reimagined what a sofa bed can be. Our signature products — the Nova Sofa Bed and the Flippo Sofa Bed — are built with compressed foam and modular structure, making them easy to deliver, install, and enjoy.
-
Nova Sofa Bed: Clean lines, plush support, and perfect for guest rooms or small living rooms.
-

Whether you’re furnishing your first apartment or upgrading a family home, PortaSofa’s compressed sofa beds offer a modern and flexible alternative to traditional bulky couches.
