How to Choose the Perfect Sleeper Sofa

Posted on: February 16th, 2018

If you have a lot of guests over but don’t have a guest bedroom, the perfect solution might be to get a sleeper sofa so your guests can feel like they’re sleeping in an actual bed without you having to buy a bed. That being said, you’ve got to put in a bit of effort to find the perfect sleeper, otherwise, your guests might reconsider spending the night at your home again in the future.

Determine the Size You Want

Size is everything when it comes to sleeper sofas. There are a few common sizes for sofas, including:

  • Queen
  • Full
  • Twin
  • Chair

The size you choose depends on how much room you have to work with, how many people will sleep on the bed and how tall your guests are. Additionally, make sure that whatever size of sofa you choose will comfortably fit in your living room as well as in the front door.

Know What Styles Are Available

One thing about sleeper sofas is they’ve available in several great styles. Futons make for a great and classic choice, but they aren’t always the most comfortable when used as a couch. Daybeds are the size of a twin mattress, but you might find a bit to be desired when it comes to frame cushioning. If you’ve got the room for them, foldouts are among some of the best options, mainly because they’re the closest when it comes to the look and feel of a regular mattress and bed. Something else to note with this style is you can choose from an innerspring with an air topper, a complete innerspring and a mattress made of all foam.

Finally, you might prefer the style of the pullout pop-up for your sleeper sofa. Pullout pop-up sofas have a mattress situated just under the sofa that can operate as two twin beds when used with the sofa itself, or you can boost the bottom mattress up for a larger bed. Because of these options, pullout pop-up beds are often considered the most versatile.

Additional Considerations

There are a few more considerations to keep in mind while checking out sleeping sofas. For instance, you want a sofa that’s as comfortable as can be when situated in living rooms. You should also think about how much space will remain in the room once the mattress has been folded out so users don’t feel cramped.
