Convertible Sofa Bed vs. Modular Sectional
The 78.7 in sofa bed is built to convert between sitting and sleeping in one compact, single-box piece; the 136 in sectional is built to maximize seating across an L- or U-shaped corner and ships in multiple boxes as separate modules.

What actually differs
These solve different space problems, not the same problem at two price points. The sofa bed is compact, ships as one piece, and is built around converting between sitting and sleeping. The sectional is built for maximum seating footprint - it's the largest single piece in this catalogue, reconfigures into L- or U-shaped layouts, and arrives as separate modules rather than one unit.
What neither one publishes
Neither states a weight capacity per seat. The sectional's own assembled L x W x H isn't published as a single triplet (the Creators API's own item dimensions read as a single module, not the full piece) - see will it fit through the door for why neither product gets a doorway verdict, for two different reasons.
Which one actually helps
The sofa bed suits a smaller room or apartment that needs one flexible piece to handle both daily seating and occasional guest sleeping. The sectional suits a larger living room with a corner to fill and a preference for maximum total seating over sleeping flexibility.
Questions
Which GAOMON sofa converts to a bed?
Both, differently: the 78.7 in sofa bed is built around conversion, including a queen-like sleeper mode. The 136 in sectional states some of its modules convert to a sofa bed too, per the manufacturer, without specifying which modules or the resulting size.
Which one is easier to move into a room?
The sofa bed - it ships compressed in a single box. The sectional ships in several packages that may arrive separately and is assembled from modules on site.
Are either of these velvet?
No - the sofa bed is corduroy, the sectional is chenille, per the manufacturer. See how upholstery fabrics differ.
