Decide your space constraints: measure the space where the sofa and bed configuration will go (when sofa & when bed). Choose how big the bed size needs to be (single, queen, king). Prioritize solid teak (not just teak veneer) if you want durability & long lifetime. Ask the seller to confirm the wood type, maybe ask for sample, check smell, weight, grain. Check delivery & installation: sofa-cum-bed requires good mechanism; ensure assembly is done properly. If budget allows, invest in a higher grade teak piece – you’ll likely have it for decade(s). Maintenance: keep it away from excessive moisture or very harsh sunlight; though teak is durable, proper care extends lifetime.
