In better IKEA news, though, I did find pretty much the perfect sofa bed to keep in the office. It meets all my preferences:
✅ Minimalist style, in neutral colours
✅ Not click-clack (don’t like the rear protrusion)
✅ Has storage
✅ Sofa small as possible

✅ Not click-clack (don’t like the rear protrusion)
✅ Has storage
✅ Sofa small as possible
✅ Bed ideally UK double, or near as possible
✅ Not a pull-out-to-front bed
✅ Sofa width becomes bed length
✅ Not a floor-level/low bed
✅ Can be against wall as sofa, and not need moved to change into bed
✅ Very quick change to bed
✅ Firm sleeping surface
✅ Not like £1k

The winner by a mile was the Asarum: ikea.com/gb/en/p/asarum… . I love the clever mechanism, and assembly was just screwing in six legs and putting in four small bolts. 5 mins! Pic of it (not in final position). The grey cushions were included. Purple ones and blanket are mine. 
This is how it works: . And yes, I’ve slept on it (top-up emergency sleep due to 5-month-old baby), and it’s really comfy. I’m very happy with this thing so far.
