  -> thank you !
disagree  Amy Duncan (X): No, a sofa bed is different...it doesn't have a drawer with a mattress in it. No, I do not have the wrong information. A sofa bed opens up, or folds out, and a bi-cama has a drawer underneath with a mattress. I should know, I sleep on one!

  -> Amy you have the wrong information, so please check the sites provided, and for sure must have thousand of models

Acredito que para quase tudo na vida há mais de uma resposta correta. Ainda mais se tratando de linguagem!
Couch bed existe, sim. Segue a definição da wikipedia (tudo bem, não é a coisa mais confiável do mundo, é só um recurso...)
Entrando no google e pesquisando imagens, encontram-se páginas e mais páginas com figuras de couch bed.
Agora, é só entrar em lojas de móveis e constatar que há uma variedade enorme de tipos de sofá-cama, sofá-bicama etc. Tem aqueles que se abrem, tem os que têm uma cama de solteiro que sai de baixo, tem aqueles que tem uma cama de casal por dentro, do tipo "pop up", e por aí vai...
Acho que temos mais é que ter muitas sugestões e o tradutor vê qual a que mais se adapta ao seu caso específico.

Couch bed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A couch bed is a couch that folds into a bed. Commonly known as a Hideabed. There are many variations, such as bunk beds with couches on the bottom bunk and half-couches.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couch_bed"

Só para complicar mais, olhem esta foto do mais intrigante dos couch beds!!!
