Sofas are a genuinely common secondary hiding spot for bed bugs, particularly in living rooms where people nap or relax for long periods.
Why Sofas Are at Risk
Bed bugs are drawn to body heat and carbon dioxide, so any furniture where people sit or sleep for extended periods — not just beds — can become a hiding spot.
Common Hiding Spots in Sofas
- Along seam lines and piping
- Underneath removable cushions
- Inside the frame at the base
- In folds near armrests
What This Means for Treatment
A thorough treatment includes inspecting and treating upholstered furniture near the affected bedroom, not just the bed itself, since missing a sofa is a common reason infestations return.
