Some sleeper sofas are designed to be used as both seating and a bed on a daily basis and others are designed for occasional sleep. If you are looking for an item that can be used every night as a bed, then choose a
sectional sleeper sofa with a queen size mattress or a
sleeper sofa bed sofa that has a queen size mattress at the chaise end.
If you are looking for a
sleeper couch with storage sofa that will only be used for a few times, a twin bed is a great option. This is often called an "adult" mattress and is suitable for people of all sizes and weights. There are also a variety of cot-size sofas that can accommodate a single adult or children.
Keep in mind that most sleeper sofas feature traditional mattresses, which means your regular sheets should fit. Some models have specialized mattresses which require special bedding. If you're in the market for a top sleeper sofa that can serve as seating or an overnight bed be sure to review the product's description thoroughly to ensure that the mattress meets your requirements.
Style
The design of your sleeper sofa needs to match the overall style of your living space. If you want your sofa that doubles as a dual-purpose piece to seamlessly blend into your decor, select an option that is neutral in hue and with a sleek design. Choose modern sleeper sofas in a bold hue to instantly brighten your living space.

This tufted pull-out sofa is built from an airy, yet sturdy frame, thanks to its dowelled joints as well as kiln dried hardwood. Additionally, it comes with a variety of customization options, including the type of mattress, the fabric, and leg finish.
You'll want your sleeper sofa to last for a long time, therefore, look for a sturdy fabric and construction that is durable. A kiln-dried hardwood frame for instance, can last as long as a typical sofa, but it might need a little more maintenance than one made from pine. Also, make sure to double-check the mattress size and depth to ensure your sheets will fit properly.
When you are looking for a sleeper couch, make sure you know how easy it is to take out the bed. Harris says that modern sleeper sofas have easy-to handle mechanisms that minimize bars or springs. Some sleeper sofas even have a fabric handle that makes it easier to remove your mattress. You'll also want to consider whether you prefer an innerspring or a memory foam mattress. An innerspring sleeper sofa usually features a coil-based mattress, while a memory foam mattress is more comfortable and molds to your body.
Another option is a futon-style sleeper sofa, which has frames with a low profile that rest on slats of metal or wood instead of a traditional wooden or metal base. A lot of these sofas come with a storage compartment underneath the seat, which can be used to store pillows and blankets. Although you won't get as much support from a futon style sleeper, you'll save money on the mattress.
Finding a
small sleeper couch that is elegant and comfortable shouldn't be difficult, considering the many choices available. To narrow your search, consider the factors we have outlined and the primary purpose of the sofa/bed.
Comfort
Regardless of whether your sofa bed is used for guests or to catch a quick nap, comfort should be at the forefront of mind. Look for a sleeper couch with plush cushions and supportive back and seat frames. To provide additional support, pick a mattress that is CertiPUR-certified to meet stringent safety and quality standards.
This futon from Joybird is a great alternative to traditional pull-out sofas with traditional mattresses. It features a sturdy and engineered wood frame with a black finish and high resilience foam. The grey fabric upholstery will suit most living rooms.
The mattress differs from standard mattresses in that it features air-over coils. That's good news for your wallet, however it may mean that your sheets won't fit as well as they would on a standard mattress. To ensure a better fit you can add an extra layer of batting beneath the mattress for extra cushioning.
Another option is this contemporary sofa from Anthropologie. It's sleek and stylish and comes in several color and fabric combinations, but we're a fan of the Heather velvet version shown here. Its wooden top is flat and straight-high sides make it a great choice for small spaces.
This sofa can be fitted with a queen-sized bed making it a perfect fit for two adults. It's an excellent choice for a guest room or a multi-purpose space and the minimalist design is easy to coordinate with most furniture.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the mattress on this sofa folds out from beneath, making it less of a traditional pull-out mechanism. It's a bit easier to handle. However, it is still a good idea for you to test out several sofa beds before buying to check out the way they perform. Check for components that work smoothly and efficiently, as well as easy-to-lift mechanisms.
Convertibility
A small sleeper couch can be used to provide seating and beds to your living area without taking up a lot of space. This flexible option is an excellent choice for those with little storage space in their homes. A lot of models have an easy pull-out mechanism that allows you to transform the couch into a fully-fledged sofa bed in mere seconds. They usually have mattresses that are hidden and come in various colours, so you'll be able to choose one that will blend seamlessly with your interior.
