The 14 Best Sofa Beds to Offer Your Guests a Great Night's Sleep

Sofa beds are a simple way to transform any room into a sleeping space, making them a practical addition to virtually any home. "Versatile and functional, sofa beds and sleeper sofas are essential," says Jenon Bailie, merchandising and design director at Room & Board." They're especially helpful in small spaces, like small apartments, and they're great for a room that serves a dual function, like a home office and guest room. "

And thanks to so many brands offering gorgeous modern takes on this classic staple, many sofa beds are now as stylish and comfortable as they are functional.

Whether you're looking for a space-saving sleeper for a small apartment or a king-sized sofa bed to offer optimal comfort for your overnight guests, these sofas are sure to elevate your space with style and comfort.

What to Consider When Shopping for a Sleeper Sofa

How you'll use the sofa

Everyone has different needs, which can affect what makes the right sofa bed for your space. For instance, if you have a larger space and frequently invite overnight guests over, an oversized sectional sofa bed with a king-size mattress might be a worthwhile investment.

However, a cozy futon might better fit your lifestyle and budget if you have a small space or don't frequently have overnight guests. "A futon is typically limited in comfort and support, so I usually only recommend them for occasional sleeping use," says Jenon Bailie.

Mattress size and quality

The size and quality of your sleeper sofa's mattress is another important consideration. If you often have the same overnight guests stay the night, you may want to consider their needs. Maybe you often have couples over who might benefit from a king- or queen-size bed. Or perhaps you only have the occasional single guest, so a futon or twin bed might be fine.

"The sofa bed is ultimately designed to function as a guest bed, and the most important part of any bed is the quality of sleep it provides; thus, the mattress truly makes the piece. "

In addition to size, it's a good idea to consider the mattress's firmness and general comfort level. Cameron Johnson states, "The sofa bed is ultimately designed to function as a guest bed, and the most important part of any bed is the quality of sleep it provides; thus, the mattress truly makes the piece."

Generally speaking, memory foam mattresses tend to run firmer than innerspring mattresses, so it's helpful to consider whether your guests might want more or less support before committing to a mattress type.

Quality of construction and warranty

Of course, no one wants to invest in a great piece of furniture only to find that it doesn't last as long as they need it to. That's why it's always best to look at the quality and any warranties that come with a potential sofa bed.

"Like all sofas, investing in a quality piece will ensure you have many years of use," says Natasha Adams." A good quality hardwood frame or metal frame and mechanism will last for decades, and many come with a 10-year structural warranty. "

How it converts into a bed

Sofa beds convert in various ways, depending on the type. For instance, some sofa beds feature pull-out bed systems with a hidden mattress that pops out, while others simply fold down, like futons, which turn the seat cushions and backrests into the mattress.

Pull-out sofa beds typically require more space than futons and other convertible sofas, but they also tend to be a bit more comfortable, thanks to a traditional mattress. So if you have a small space, a futon or convertible loveseat might be your best bet, while larger rooms might benefit more from a pull-out option.

What To Consider When Buying A Sleeper Sofa

A sleeper sofa, or sofa bed, is a large purchase, both literally and figuratively, so it’s wise to consider your needs and preferences ahead of shopping. Here are the factors worth keeping in mind as you shop.

Type

Just like every other type of large furniture, sleeper sofas come in all shapes and sizes. If you opt for a traditional design, it will feature a fold-out mattress, whereas sofa beds come with backs that folds down. There are also futons, which similarly fold flat, and daybeds, which are always ready for catching some z’s.

Material

When it comes to picking the best fabric, experts recommend considering your lifestyle and whether you have pets or children. “I tend to use a durable fabric, like a soft performance fabric that can be easily cleaned, because having a sectional just invites people to sit and stay,” Owens says. If you have kids or pets in your home, you might want to look into stain- and tear-resistant fabrics. But don’t worry: That doesn’t mean you have to opt for uninviting fabric or anything with a less-than-wonderful feel. “Leather is wonderful and velvet is surprisingly kid/pet-friendly,” says interior designer Emily Henderson.

Placement

You want to consider things like where you’ll stash couch cushions when the sleeper aspect is pulled out that’s easy for your guests to access. And, of course, you should measure out your space before making a purchase. “Make sure to measure how the piece fits in your space with the bed extended,” says Victoria Sass, founder and principal of the Minneapolis-based design firm Prospect Refuge Studio. “Then add—ideally—two feet all the way around for accessibility. If you have to move other furniture out of the way, plan ahead on where those pieces will go."

Capacity/Weight Limit

How many people will be using the sofa at the same time? If you want multiple houseguests to be able to sleep on the folded-out sofa at the same time (or you have larger friends and family members), make sure you select an option that can fully support their combined weight.

Can You Sleep On A Sleeper Sofa Every Night?

Yes, you technically can sleep on a sleeper sofa every night. Some sleeper sofas do hold actual mattresses—and often, they’re up to 5 inches thick. But not all do, and truthfully, for the best comfort and support, you should be sleeping on a high-quality mattress supported by a sturdy bed frame.

What Makes A Sleeper Sofa Comfortable?

If you’re planning a space for anyone you truly care about, you are going to want to find a sleeper sofa with an actual mattress,” Sass says. Look for options with memory foam mattresses, and if you want a little extra comfort, you can always add a mattress topper.

How Should You Measure A Sectional Sofa?

You’re going to want to take into account the height, width and depth of any sectional you’re eyeing (in that sense, this purchase is no different than the procurement of any other large piece of furniture or appliance). Figuring out where you’ll want to put your new sofa in your living room in advance of buying one can help you determine what size will work best. The last thing you’d want is to have a sectional sofa arrive and not have enough space for it—alternatively, you could order a sofa that’s too small for your space, and it might look like it’s swimming in all of that extra room.

In addition to the sizing of the sofa itself, consider the other furniture and décor you want to place in the same room as the sectional, advises Bria Hammel, creative director and CEO of Bria Hammel Interiors. “Make sure it allows for enough space in a room for other furniture pieces,” she says. “We typically design sectional sofas with walkways around them, paired with two accent chairs adjacent to the sofa or a single chair with an ottoman.”

Interior designer Christina Cole, founder of Christina Cole & Co., offers up a few suggestions for spacing: “We usually allow approximately one foot 8 inches from the edge of the sofa to the edge of the coffee table. Two to three feet is a suitable distance for a footpath between and around furniture pieces. ”

as comfortable as a bed and good for sleeping

Due to the two-in-one effect, comfortable and compact sofa beds are actively used in small apartments, allowing owners to save on furniture purchase costs. An additional bonus for owners is the purchase of products with an orthopedic mattress at the base of the bed.

A balanced approach to choosing a folding structure is a guarantee of purchasing a sofa that will not yield to a bed in terms of convenience and comfort.

Contents

Advantages and disadvantages of orthopedic sofas

Proved the importance of the correct position of the spine during sleep. Sofa cushions, which are part of the bed, have a reduced rigidity, which is not good for the back. The soft base eventually sags and deforms under the weight of the body. Sleeping on an orthopedic mattress is the prevention of a number of diseases - scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis and others. However, with established medical diagnoses, back injuries and other pathologies of the spine, a bed with an orthopedic mattress of the required rigidity should be preferred to a sofa.

Thinking about health, it is worth noting that such a familiar comfortable bed can be replaced by orthopedic sofas for sleeping.

The undoubted advantage of sofa beds is space saving and the possibility of their transformation - you can not only sleep on them, but also receive guests. A significant drawback of folding models without linen drawers is the lack of storage space for pillows and blankets. The cost of products with orthopedic mattresses is higher than that of ordinary sofa beds.

Sofas with orthopedic mattress for daily use will be the perfect addition to the living room.

General requirements and selection criteria

The size and design of the product, the shape (straight or angled), the color scheme of the upholstery are important, but not essential parameters that you should pay attention to when buying a good and reliable sofa bed.

Manufacturers have taken care of a variety of options for choosing models, from the type of spring or springless mattress to the unfolding mechanism.

An interior piece of furniture that is planned to be regularly used for a night's sleep should be selected taking into account the following criteria:

  1. ease of use of the unfolding mechanism;
  2. frame material quality;
  3. the presence of an orthopedic mattress;
  4. bed size;
  5. upholstery material quality and fabric wear resistance parameters;
  6. filler composition or spring block designs.

This is not only space saving, but also an opportunity to purchase a children's sofa with an orthopedic mattress.

The best would be a sofa with an orthopedic mattress, which quickly transforms into a bed, has a reliable unfolding mechanism and a place to sleep with a sufficient degree of rigidity. Hypoallergenic and durable upholstery materials increase the life of the structure.

At night, it turns into a wide bed, where two people can sleep freely.

Types of mattresses

The choice of the type of bed affects the cost of the sofa to a greater extent. The mattress can be ordinary or orthopedic, i.e. have increased comfort.

The main advantage of purchasing products with an orthopedic mattress for daily use is its anatomical characteristics.

Back support during sleep, stress relief from the joints and spine is provided by products made of

Spring mattresses are more popular, the inner part of which is the spring block itself, the cover and the filler.

PU foam at the base of mattresses gives the surface more rigidity than springs. Holofiber fiber is also characterized by increased strength, it does not absorb moisture and odors. The material is valued for its hypoallergenic qualities; holofiber mattress covers are of good quality and increased wear resistance. Coconut flakes (compressed coir) with a layer of 5-6 cm thick are flexible and resilient, which allows you to create additional support for the spine during sleep.

The bed base should be comfortable and suitable for a healthy daily sleep.

For children and teenagers, products of medium firmness are suitable, so the posture is not deformed during sleep.

The spring block can be composed of independent or dependent springs. The deflection of the surface of the bed depends on the coordination of their action. High-quality springs, even connected to each other in a mesh, do not creak during operation and do not break, breaking through the fabric upholstery. However, over time, they begin to wear out - the blocks stretch under the influence of loads and create a hammock effect in the center of the mattress.

If the unit has independent springs, it is more convenient, since two people sleeping next to each other will not interfere with each other.

The most comfortable and ergonomic sleeping sofas with orthopedic mattress contain independent springs in their design. Each of them is sewn into a fabric cover and connected to similar elements in ribbons that form a block. Such springs perform their work of supporting the body independently of each other and create an orthopedic effect.

Orthopedic sofas with a block of independent springs are more expensive, but the quality fully justifies the price.

Choosing the right size

The width of the mattress from 0.8 m to 1.2 m is enough for the comfort of one sleeper, for two people the size should be increased to 1.4 m or more. Standard models of sofa beds have a length of 1. 9-2.05 m. This value is calculated based on the average height, to which 15-25 cm is added for the convenience of positioning the body.

The creation of comfortable conditions for sleep.

Important! If the future owner is taller than 1.9meters, you will have to order the manufacture of a sofa bed, taking into account individual parameters. The most economical option in this case would be to order a clamshell model. Corner structures or sofas with a “book” mechanism will cost the owner more - in their manufacture, an increase in size occurs due to a change in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe frame.

Filling material

Hypoallergenic materials in the base of mattresses (foam rubber, padding polyester and silicone) are soft. They are comfortable to lie on, but these fillers quickly sag. With regular use at night, over time, there is a feeling of discomfort from the contact of the body with the hard base of the sofa.

Polyurethane foam with a height of at least 10 cm and a density of 30 kg/m or more is the best filler option in terms of price and quality.

The best sleep sofa has a high-quality orthopedic mattress with a height of at least 15-20 cm. Its composition may include several functional layers consisting of polyurethane foam, latex, holofiber or coconut fiber. Latex is a natural material that will last longer than artificial polyurethane foam, but mattresses with it are much more expensive than foam rubber or polyurethane foam.

Soft mattresses are purchased for the elderly so that the product repeats the curves of the human body.

What kind of upholstery should a good and practical sofa bed have?

The choice of material is important for models in which, when unfolded, the cushions or the seat are part of the sleeping area. For daily use of the sofa as a bed with a “book” mechanism, upholstery made of natural or artificial leather is not suitable. Bed linen on it rolls and slides, and the material itself, although pleasant to the touch, gives off cold. Leather upholstery for models that transform according to the principle of “folding beds” does not matter - in them the case for the bed is made of textiles.

The backing for the upholstery of the sofa is selected from natural, synthetic or mixed fibres.

When ordering a product or buying it, you should take into account that woolen fabrics can prick even through a stretched mattress pad or sheet, and luxurious-looking velor and phlox lose their original gloss after 2-3 years of active use. The optimal upholstery for a sofa with a mattress, like a regular bed, will be mixed fabrics - matting, chenille, tapestry and jacquard. The latter type of fabric is resistant to mechanical stress and does not fade.

Jacquard is more expensive than other mixed fiber textiles.

Important! For owners of pets, in particular cats, manufacturers of upholstered furniture recommend choosing sofas from “anti-vandal” fabrics - microvelour (fleet with Teflon impregnation), artificial suede, polymer-based “relax”, furniture velveteen, chenille.

The motley fabric is not so visible traces of dirt, colorful and bright colors are suitable for children's rooms. Monochrome upholstery looks stylish - such a sofa will complement the interior of a living room or bedroom, made in a minimalist style with an emphasis on asceticism, with its conciseness.

Advantages and disadvantages are determined by the buyer in use, but most often in the apartment they use fabric upholstery.

Sofa transformation mechanisms

In the daily use of upholstered furniture as a bed, one of the main criteria is the reliability of the guides and rollers contained in the design. The mechanism involved in the transformation of the sofa should be easy to use, and the material made of steel and wood should withstand regular loads. Metal levers and springs, as well as the frame, which is available in rolling out structures, must be made of high quality steel.

This reduces the risk of deformation of the sleeper under load and guarantees a long service life.

According to the principle of unfolding, the mechanisms are divided into

Roll-out models require free space to install a bunk. A sofa with a transformation mechanism according to the “book” principle when unfolded will take up as much space as when assembled, if free space was left between the wall and the back of the structure during installation.

The choice of folding mechanism is relevant if the sofa is planned to be used in a small room.

This is interesting. The furniture giant Ikea, when buying some models of folding sofas, offers, depending on the requirements for a sleeping place, to choose one of several types of mattresses. Swedish designers prefer mechanisms that work on the principle of "accordion" and "French clamshell".

Basic sofa models

  1. Book. The mechanism is a “classic of the genre”. The sofa unfolds by raising the seat until it clicks and lowering it to the opposite position. The model has a spacious linen compartment, the use requires a distance of about 10 cm from the wall to the back of the structure.
  2. Eurobook. The mechanism is used in straight and corner sofas. When unfolding, the seat moves forward, and the backrest lowers. So that the floor in the room is not scratched, the retractable part of the sofa is equipped with wheels.
  3. “Click-Click”. "Tango" is the second name of the mechanism for transforming a sofa into a bed, which is very similar to its prototype - the classic "book". The only difference is the intermediate position (not only “sitting-lying”) in the process of unfolding the structure and the ability to adjust the position of the backrest when assembled.
  4. “Dolphin”. From under the seat of the sofa, the frame sharply moves forward, resembling a dolphin jumping out of the water. The bed frame at the level of the main part is supported by special brackets. This type of roll-out mechanism is often used in corner sofas.

    Design options are selected depending on the physique and needs of the owners.

  5. “Accordion”. The design works like the bellows of a musical instrument, for which you need to pull the loop attached to the seat. After that, the back of the sofa unfolds and decomposes into 2 parts.
  6. Swivel mechanism. To unfold the corner sofa, one part of the sofa is moved 90 degrees, after which it is rolled up to the remaining seat and fixed using the installed mechanism.
  7. “French cot”. It takes more time to transform sofas of this type into a sleeping place than to unfold "Eurobook" or "Puma". The presence of linen boxes in the models is not provided. The berth, folded like an accordion, gets out from under the seat - the mechanism rolls forward. For daily use, the French folding bed is not very comfortable - its fabric base, not reinforced with a rigid frame, is too soft, which is not good for the spine.
  8. "American foldout". This model of a comfortable and practical double sofa bed is also known as “Rich”. The structure mechanism consists of a steel frame and a welded grating. The sofa is transformed according to the principle of a folding bed. The “highlight” of the model is that the seat surface is retracted under the berth folded in half. This simplifies the unfolding process and protects the upholstery of the sofa from friction and other mechanical influences - during sleep, the load falls on the mattress.

Please note! The disadvantages of the "clamshells" of the American and French types include the absence of compartments for storing linen in the models. Sofas with such a mechanism “eat up” part of the space of the room - when disassembled, they require free space.

The best sofas with orthopedic effect

The rigid surface of the bed is provided by a reliable wooden and metal frame of the product. Mattresses, which are part of the folding sofas of the following models, are also distinguished by high strength and ergonomics:

The most comfortable sleep sofas for every day with an orthopedic mattress supporting the spine are in the middle and high price segment.

The best sofas for sleeping with dependent spring block

The construction of connected elements is called “Bonnel”. It is not a specific spring that reacts to the force applied from the outside, but the entire base of the mattress. Over time, after prolonged use, the spring block loosens and deforms. However, those who want to save on purchases choose the following sofa models for sleeping:

Regardless of the design features, models of mattresses with dependent springs can last up to 10 years.

The most popular model of a corner sofa with a mattress like a real bed among buyers is “Lira”.

The best sleeping sofas with independent spring block

Orthopedic properties of mattresses are ensured by an autonomous system of functioning of the springs in their composition, which work almost silently. The market introduction of the Model 9 is very popular.0003

The independent movement of the springs in the blocks guarantees the long-term preservation of the original shape of the bed, which justifies the relatively high cost of the sofas.

The best baby sofas to sleep in

With children growing fast, sofa manufacturers offer inexpensive fold-out models with wooden frames and PU foam filling. Roll-out mechanisms for unfolding and products with compartments for linen are popular. Natural fillers and spring blocks contain the following models of sofas for children:

There are many models of folding sofas on the market for every taste and budget.

Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. With all the variety of choices, the purchase of a sofa bed with an orthopedic mattress will justify the financial investment.
