5 Room & Board Sleeper Sofas

Unlike futons, which need to be laid flat in order to become beds, sleeper sofas come with mattresses constructed into them. This makes the conversion to sleeping surfaces quicker and simpler.

Viva and Oxford offer sofa cushions that can be turned to reveal the queen or full mattress supported by webbed supports and wood slats. Berin Day & Night offers trifold beds that are built with a modern, stylish frame.

Sleeper Sofas

Sleeper sofas can be used as both a place to rest and a place to sleep. They are great for guest rooms or small spaces, since they reduce space by removing the need for an additional bed. They have mattresses that can be folded out by guests.

Sleeper sofas are available in various sizes from twin to queen. Some even come with a full or king-sized mattress. Whatever size you decide to go with, make sure to select one that offers comfort and support. A memory foam mattress is a great choice as it reduces pressure points and offers the best night's sleep.

In the ideal scenario, you'll want to buy a sofa that lasts for many years. Pick a sofa made of a sturdy, kiln dried hardwood frame or engineered woods like pine. Also, be aware of the kind of material used in the upholstery. Opt for leather or Room and board sleeper sofa fabric with a stain-resistant surface to reduce wear.

When shopping for a modular sleeper sofa sofa, ensure that you test the mechanism by sitting on it several times at the store. Modern mechanisms are designed for comfort and have better decking materials, anti-tilt designs as well as a minimal number of springs and bars.

Sofa Beds

If you have limited space for guests to sleep in your home, a pull out sofa bed may be an option. They can be used as seating during the day, and transform into beds at night. The mattresses are typically designed to accommodate one or two people depending on the model. They are usually easier to use than traditional mattresses.

Some pull-out sofas come with an air mattress that can be deflated or inflated within minutes. They are ideal for those who don't want to keep a mattress around however, they aren't ideal for regular use as sleeping surfaces. If you want to make sure your sleeper sofa is comfortable and sturdy pick a model that uses a foam mattress.

Some sleeper sofas have queen-sized foam beds and others make use of gel memory foam. This type of mattress provides more comfort than traditional memory foam, and is generally more supportive than the standard sofa mattress. Before purchasing a mattress it is essential to test the mattress and sofa bed. It is also important to measure the dimensions of the space in which you intend to put the sofa to ensure it will be able to fit comfortably.

This modern sofa transforms from seating to bed with the simple flick of the finger. The fabric is supple and durable and we love the biscuit-channel tufting. It also has a storage sling, perfect for stashing pillows and blankets. It's a bit firmer than we'd prefer for lounging but with use, the cushions will soften.

This sectional has a sleek silhouette and a metal frame encased in linen-blend fabric. The sinuous springs and foam-filled cushions create an inviting and comfortable place to relax.

Aside from the mattress, one of the most important factors to keep in mind when buying sleeper sofas is to choose an item that can be able to withstand the abuse that these pieces are likely to endure. Sunbrella and other performance fabrics are perfect for these sofas because they are able to withstand a lot of abuse. Marks from claws, spills, and even vomit from drunk guests are all common. Slipcovers can be added to certain couches to keep them looking brand new and safe.

It's still a pretty good sleeper however and is among the top choices for those who are looking to buy from a company with an outstanding reputation for its customer service.

Oxford

The English roll-arm sofa design is one of the most popular, but when scaled up it's often a little wacky. The Oxford pop-up sleeper is sleek and sophisticated and has a sleek, modern design that is easy for you to live with. You can use it as a sofa or as one queen bed. When you require more sleeping space simply pull out the front rail and a counterbalanced mechanism lifts up the sleeping surface.
