5 Room & Board Sleeper Sofas

Unlike futons, which need to be laid flat to become sleeper sofas, sleeper sofa bed sofas have mattresses constructed into them. This makes converting to sleeping surfaces faster and easier.

Viva and Oxford have sofa cushions that flip up to reveal a queen or full mattress supported by wood slats and webbed supports. Berin Day & Night offers trifold beds in a sleek, modern frame.

Sleeper Sofas

Sleeper sofas are furniture pieces that offer both seating and a comfy place to sleep. They are ideal for guest rooms or smaller spaces, since they make space by removing the need for an additional bed. They have an adjustable mattress which can be folded by guests.

You can find sleeper sofas in a variety of sizes from twin to queen. Some sleeper sofas come with a full-size or king-sized bed. Whatever size you pick, be sure you choose a mattress that provides comfort and support. A memory foam mattress is a good choice because it alleviates pressure points and offers an improved night's sleep.

Ideal is to purchase an item that lasts for a long time. Select a sofa that has a sturdy, kiln dried hardwood frame or engineered woods like pine. Be sure to pay attention to the type of materials used for the upholstery. Choose leather or fabric with a stain-resistant coating to prevent wear.

When looking for a sleeper sofa ensure that you test the mechanism by laying on it several times at the store. Modern mechanisms are designed to be comfortable with higher-quality decking materials, anti-tilt designs, and minimal springs and bars.

Sofa Beds

If you're limited on space for guests to sleep in your home, a pull out sofa bed is an option. These couches offer seating during the day and can be converted into beds at night. They typically have the mattress to accommodate two or three people, based on the model. They are usually easier to use than traditional mattresses.

Some pull-out couches come with an air mattress that can be inflated and deflated within a matter of minutes. Air mattresses are an excellent option for those who do not want to use a mattress, but are not suitable for use as a sleeping surface. If you want to make sure your sleeper sofa is sturdy and comfortable pick a model that uses foam mattresses.

Some sleeper sectional sofas have a standard queen-sized foam mattress some have gel memory foam. This type of mattress provides an ice-cold sleeping experience compared to traditional memory foam, and is usually more comfortable than the normal sofa mattress. It is important to test the sofa bed and mattress in person prior to making a purchase. It is also important to measure the dimensions of the room where you plan to put the sofa to ensure that it will be able to fit comfortably.

Deco

This contemporary sofa transforms from a bed to a seating area with the simple flick of the finger. The fabric is soft and durable, and we love the biscuit-channel tufting. The piece also comes with a storage sling, perfect for stashing pillows and blankets. We do think that it's a bit firm for lounging, however the cushions will soften with time and use.

This sectional has a sleek silhouette and a metal frame encased in linen-blend fabric. Foam-filled cushions and sinuous springs create a supportive and cozy place to relax, and the narrow back and biscuit channel tufting provide modern flair. A built-in USB charger as well as a cup holder for each arm, and an under-seat storage round out the features of this versatile couch.

This classic sleeper sofa from Clad Home is a plethora of customizable (seriously you can collaborate one-on-one with a designer to make the design you've always wanted). It features a stunning frame and wood leg and comes in more than 90 fabrics and has the option of standard or memory foam mattresses. It's a stylish addition to any room and looks amazing in your guest bedroom or home office basement.

Ellingson

A chic, modern take on the classic English roll-arm sofa, this one is as comfortable to sit on as it is to sleep on. Available in dozens of fabrics, you can design the sleeper to fit your space.

This IKEA classic is a great option for those seeking a cheap simple bed. It may not be as extravagant however it's still an option for those wanting to save money and also have an extra bed.

When looking for a sleeper sofa it is important to find the right fabric that can stand up to the abuse that these pieces will likely endure. Sunbrella and other performance fabrics are great for these sofas because they can withstand a great deal of abuse. Drops, claw marks and even vomit from drunk guests are all common. You can also put slipcovers on some of these sofas to keep them secure and fresh looking even longer.

Berin

This small sleeper couch sleeper sofa is designed to fit in small spaces. Its sleek lines and a comfortably angled back give it a contemporary look that is very appealing. The mattress is a twin-sized mattress which folds down into an enfolded sleeping surface. The sleeper is more affordable than the others on the list because it is available for purchase at room and board sleeper Sofa & Board showrooms. This is a great thing because it allows you to experience it in person and try the bed to ensure that it's the right one for you. This is also beneficial because it means that there is a greater variety of fabrics to pick from and you'll be able to enjoy the great customer service that R&B is famous for.

A big downside of this particular sleeper sofa is that it doesn't offer the same level of customization as other American leather sectional sleeper sofa models. It's still a decent sleeper nonetheless and is among the best choices for people who are looking to buy from a brand that has a reputation for amazing customer service.

Oxford

The English roll-arm sofa shape is an old-fashioned design, but when scaled up it often looks bonkers. But not this one: the Oxford pop-up platform sleeper is sleek and elegant with clean, modern style that is easy to live with. Use it as a sofa or one queen bed--when you need more sleeping space simply pull out the front rail and a counterbalanced mechanism lifts up the sleep surface. The spring and high-resiliency foam makes it supportive enough to allow you to rest comfortably.
