A Couch With Pull Out Ottoman Can Help a Small Space Host Guests

A sofa with a pull-out ottoman is a great way to make a smaller space host guests without losing storage or floor space. These models are crafted of kiln-dried hardwoods and engineered woods which look sleek and strong.

This sofa from Pottery Barn has a tufted silhouette with tall rolled arms and tufts that give it a romantic English vibe. It's upholstered with kid- and pet-friendly performance fabrics that come in more than 100 shades.

1. Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn has become one of the most well-known home decor brands because it cultivates a rustic, modern look that appeals to those with modern sensibilities and still desire furniture with a traditional style. Pottery Barn has become synonymous with sophisticated living and entertaining, and it is evident why it is popular with this group due to the refined way that they stage their catalog and website imagery.

It is important to know that, while the majority of the fabric-upholstered couches at Pottery Barn are made in America, most leather sofas are imported. This is a standard practice in the industry, and is one of the main reasons Pottery Barn is a great option for those looking to buy high-quality items while staying within their budget.

Pottery Barn furniture is of good quality for the price and their upholstered couches have a durable feeling. The frames are constructed of kiln dried hardwood, engineered wood or a combination. The company does a great job of expressing their commitment to sustainability using images and descriptions that show the type of wood used, for example, FSC-Certified wood or BIFMA certified wood. They are also one of the first retailers who work with The Renewal Workshop, which seeks to reuse or repurpose products that are damaged or are not in use anymore. This helps reduce the amount of waste they dump into landfills.

Pottery Barn's customer service is excellent. They make it simple to customize your order, and you can easily change the fabric swatches. The color swatches they offer are extremely accurate, and it is beneficial that they allow you to choose leather swatches as well. The main issue I have with their website is that the images of couches do not update when you change the fabric, and it can be difficult to get a feeling of what the couch will look like in the person wearing the new upholstery.

2. Anthropologie

Anthropologie is famous for its bohemian rhapsody aesthetic that appeals to free spirits and fashion-forward people. Its sofa collection is no exception. The company was established in 1992 and is now a part of the URBN group (which includes Urban Outfitters Free People and BHLDN). The brand's mission is to create a look that is as unique as you.

Their online storefront appears to be an art gallery, with every couch taking center stage. Each sofa is represented by multiple photos that tell a story. You can get a sense of the style and personality. You can even zoom into the fabrics and other details. This approach offers a refreshing contrast to other furniture sites, which feel like scrolling through a sea of same-same sofas.

You should be aware that many of Anthropologie’s sofas are custom-made, which increases the cost and time of your purchase. Anthropologie is working to reduce its environmental footprint by making use of recycled wood and fibers. We also appreciate the one year warranty that they offer which is a step up over what most retailers provide.

The Anthropologie sleeper sofa has an elegant design that hides the queen-size mattress. It is available in linen, performance linen and velvet fabrics in more than 10 colors.

The Anthropologie Homebody Sofa is another outstanding option. It comes with an integrated chaise for the ultimate comfort. It can be customized with three recliners. You can choose the layout that best fits your space. It's a bit more expensive than some of the other alternatives on our list, but it's worth the extra cost for the convenience factor.

3. Joybird

Joybird is one of the most popular online furniture retailers. Their website is clean, professionally designed and has the feel of scrolling through an Instagram feed.

They have pioneered a unique buying experience and are dedicated to a sustainable quality, high-end business model. Their mission is empower people to create their own style and a home they love without sacrificing quality or design.

Their furniture is handcrafted in the USA and Mexico using the finest materials and tested artisan manufacturing techniques to satisfy customers specific needs, styles and preferences. They also collaborate with organizations like FloorFound, One Tree Planted and others to encourage sustainability and forest reforestation.

Joybird offers a limited lifetime warranty on the workmanship of their frames, joints sinuous springs and more. They also offer a five-year Extended Warranty for all general accidents that happen in life (like stains, tears, and damage from pets).

I like that they have a separate page that provides you with how to take care of your furniture and fabric. They provide a list of recommended cleaners, what to do and not do if your couch becomes dirty, and how to properly clean or steam your couch. I wish more furniture retailers would include this helpful info!

There are two image carousels on their product pages, one that show the couch from every angle and the other one to show pictures of the furniture's features and lifestyle. The only drawback is that the details can be lost if you select a dark-colored fabric. It's difficult to determine the texture and color.

The company provides free fabric swatches. They are however, in a large cardboard box that can be a waste for people who only want a few. They also don't offer different stain options for legs for their couches which is a pity because the majority of their pieces come with simple legs with screws.

4. Apt 2B

The company was founded on the notion of providing better quality alternatives to mass-produced furniture and making high-end furniture more affordable, Apt 2B has grown to become a popular online retailer for contemporary furniture at a reasonable price. The company is based in Los Angeles, and is run by a team of experts from across the country. They offer a wide selection of sofas and other furniture pieces that appeal to different design tastes.

The company's custom sofas and sectionals are Goldilocks in terms of cushion depth and feel -- comfortable yet supportive and with enough space for a relaxing spot. They also employ fabric that is breathable and can withstand a lot of time spent in the sun without overheating or squeezing you and they have green options too. The company is committed to supporting the community and will donate custom-made furniture to the underrepresented communities to help them start their own businesses.

In addition to a wide choice of fabrics Apt 2B also has various customizable features that make these couches even more appealing. Many of their fabrics have 100,000 double rub counts which means they can endure a lot of wear and tear, and are easy to clean. Some of their fabrics even have a lifetime warranty.

Brands also offer customization options, allowing their customers to pick their preferred size, color and upholstery. In fact the modular sectionals offered by the company can be extended to fit almost every living space layout and are designed with flexibility in mind. This flexibility makes them an ideal choice for smaller spaces and large homes and ranch-style properties. They can be put together in multiple ways and paired with ottoman poufs to provide seating and storage solutions that perfectly suit any space.

5. Milo

Rove Concepts Milo is an elegant and luxurious sofa that can be transformed to a queen-sized mattress unlike any other sleeper sofa available on the market. To convert the sofa, pull the zipper hidden behind the back cushions of the seat and then unfold the mattress. Once folded, it rests on the floor flat and doesn't require legs like traditional sleeper sofas do. A mesh cover keeps the mattress safe from dirt and lets you throw it in the wash for easy cleaning. It is wide enough to fit queen-sized fitted sheet and comes in 53 colors of performance fabrics (free swatches) from neutral tones and bold pops.

This sofa, influenced by mid-century designer Milo Baughman's work it is a celebration of proportion and simplicity. It's also built with kiln-dried hardwood and dowelled joints, plus a bench-assembled wood frame and button-tufted back cushions filled with high-resiliency foam. This best-selling couch also has the option of a reversible chaise, as well as a luxurious queen memory foam mattress (free samples are available).

If you're looking for a more sleek look, think about Raymour and Flanigan's Arlo 2 Piece Sleeper sectional with bed pull out. Its track arms and clean lines are a perfect match for a variety of styles, and its rectangular back and seat cushions make it easy to keep the sofa looking fresh. It has a queen-sized memory foam mattress that is available in a variety of fabrics, ranging from twills and microfibers to twills (free samples are available).

Target's Room Essentials convertible sofa bed is a great choice for those on a budget. It's not the most comfortable, but it's strong and lightweight enough to be able to transform it from a sofa into a twin bed with ease. It is also available in several upholstery options like felt, weave and velvet.
