A classic patterned sectional will be a good fit with a more traditional style. In addition, you'll need to think about how easily the fabric will be cleaned and what color it is.

Mechanism

A sectional sleeper sofa has the ability to be converted into a bed. This can be done in a number different ways, based on the type of sofa you select. One mechanism is known as an easy-open mechanism, operates with a single step to make the sofa bed. All you have to do is locate the appropriate lever or handle located either at the end of the sofa or on its back. The lever or handle can be pulled to turn on the mechanism and allow it to fold up into flat surfaces. You don't need to take out any cushions, making this a convenient option for those looking to make the most of their space.

Another mechanism that makes the sleeper from a sectional is the click-clack mechanism. It works in a similar way to the simple opening mechanism, but it requires a bit more force. All you need to do is elevate the backrest until it "clicks" into the proper position, which will reveal a flat sleeping surface. After that, you can shut the mechanism in the same manner. The click-clack system is very user-friendly and cuts down on the effort required to open and close the bed on your couch.

Some sectional sleeper couches come with innerspring mattresses while others feature gel-filled or memory foam cushions. Both offer excellent support and comfort to guests however it is important to take into consideration how often the sectional sleeper sofa is used as an actual bed.

If you are planning to use the sectional sleeper sofa often for sleeping, look for a premium option that comes with a new mechanism. A lot of the modern sleeper mechanisms are far more comfortable than they were a few years ago, and you can even find models that eliminate the bar-and-canvas design completely. This will save you money and ensure that your sectional modular sleeper sofa is as appealing visually as it can be. Additionally you can also buy replacement mechanisms that work with your current sleeper, if needed.

Styling

The upholstery that covers a sectional sleeper sofa can be as important as the frame, especially when you're looking for comfort and durability. Select a fabric that is suitable for your style and lifestyle, such as velvet or linen or opt for high-performance fabrics such as those offered by West Elm and Apt2B that are easy to clean and sturdy.

You should consider a mattress that is comfortable and supportive to ensure an enjoyable night's sleep. Make sure the sectional has a storage space under the chaise to store sheets and blankets, or a console for entertainment.

There's a broad selection of sectional sleepers in styles that range from contemporary to transitional. Some of them can be flipped to suit your living space. The Oxford sleeper sofa from Room & Board, for instance, can be set up with an additional chaise on either side to create a custom arrangement. Its legs that are hidden create a sleek, modern silhouette that would complement a variety of designs for interiors.

If you plan on using your sectional regularly, you should choose frames made of durable wood like furniture-grade plywood or the kiln dried hardwood. This ensures the stability of the piece as you transform it from bed to sofa and back. Metal frames aren't as sturdy and can rust or sag over time.

Once you've found the ideal sectional for your needs, style it to look as cozy and inviting as possible. Add throws and decorative accents to the space for a more sophisticated appearance.

Once you've picked the best sleeper sofa to fit your space, your guest room will be ready for nighttime guests.
