Padded seat you can put up with? (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sofa bed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'padded seat' is the definition.
'sofa bed' can be an answer for 'seat' (sofa bed is a kind of seat). I am not certain of the 'padded' bit.

'you can put up with?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'put' could be 'bed' (bedding is a kind of putting) and 'bed' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sofa' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sofa bed that I've seen before include "Seat that converts for sleeping on" , "What's for the rest of the guests" , "Convertible furniture" , "comfortable position" , "Bifunctional furniture item" .)
