Some sleeper sofas are designed to be used as both seating and a bed on a regular basis and others are designed for occasional sleep. If you're interested in a sofa that can be used as a bed all night, look for one with a queen-size mattress, or a sectional that includes a queen-size mattress in the chaise end.

If you're looking for a sleeper couch that is only used for occasional use, a twin-sized mattress is a good choice. This size is also known as an "adult mattress" and is suitable for most people. There are a few cot-size couches that can fit either a child or an adult.

Keep in mind that most sleeper sofas come with traditional mattresses, which means your normal sheets should be able to be suitable. Certain models come with mattresses that are specially designed and require a special bedding. If you're interested in a sleeper sofa that is both a seating area and a bed, make sure you read the product description to make sure the mattress will meet your needs.

Style

The style of your sleeper sofa must align with the overall design of your living space. If you'd like the piece to be a seamless blend into your decor, choose an option with a neutral hue and sleek silhouette. Choose modern sleeper sofas in a vibrant hue to instantly brighten up your living space.

It also offers a variety of options for customization, such as mattress type, fabric and leg finish.

If you want your sleeper sofa to last, you should look for the most durable fabric and top-quality construction. A kiln-dried hardwood frame for instance, can last as long as a typical sofa, but it might require a bit more maintenance than one made of pine. Check the mattress's dimensions and depth to ensure that the sheets are in place.

An innerspring sleeper sofa typically is a coil-based mattress, while a memory foam model is more comfortable and shaped to your body.

A futon sleeper sofa-style sofa sleeper is another option. It has an extremely low-profile base that rests on wood or metal slats, rather than the traditional steel or wood base. A lot of these sofas come with an area for storage beneath the seat, which can be used to store blankets and pillows. While you won't get the same amount of support from a futon style sleeper but you'll save money on your mattress.

Finding a small sleeper couch that is elegant and comfortable shouldn't be a problem, given the many choices available. For a more specific search, consider the factors we have outlined and the primary function of the sofa/bed.

Comfort

It is essential to feel comfortable regardless of whether you're using your sofa bed for guests or a quick catnap. Find a sleeper sofa with plush cushions and supportive frame for the back and seat. And for extra support, choose mattresses that have been CertiPUR-certified to meet strict quality and safety standards.

It has a solid and engineered wood frame that has a black finish and high resilience foam. The grey fabric upholstery will suit most living rooms.

The mattress is different from standard mattresses in that it features air-over coils. That's good news for your pocket, but it could mean that your sheets won't be as snug as they would on a traditional mattress. You can place a layer under the mattress to cushion it for a better fit.

Another option is this modern sofa from Anthropologie. It's sleek in design and comes in several color and fabric combinations, but we're a fan of the Heather velvet version we've shown here.

It's important to know that the mattress on this sofa is able to fold out from the bottom it, which is a different method than a standard pull-out. This makes it easier to move however it's a good idea to test out some sofa beds before you buy to see how they perform in person. Make sure that the components work smoothly and effectively, as well as easy-to-lift mechanisms.
