Buying a Couch Bed

Sofa beds are multifunctional furniture that can be used in many ways. Interior designer Annie Mueller recommends this budget-friendly twin sleeper from Pottery Barn's teen collection. She says the sofa seat cushion unfolds to create an 10" foam mattress that rests on the floor.

Comfort

When purchasing a sofa bed, comfort is the most important factor. Many sleeper couches have a thin mattress, which can make the guests feel like they are sleeping on a platform instead of a bed. To avoid this, invest in a mattress topper, such as the Linenspa memory foam one at Amazon, to add some extra padding to your couch bed's mattress. This will prevent your guests from waking with back pain, or with metal frames creaking or squeaking.

A chaise extension allows guests to stretch out and unwind more comfortably. The color and material of your sofa bed will determine how well it fits into the other furniture in the room. Request free fabric swatches to take them to test in your home to decide on the ideal fabric for your needs.

If you're seeking a sofa that's cozy in both couch and bed form take a look at this midcentury modern selection from Anthropologie.

It's also customizable, with more than 70 different fabrics and cushion combinations.

The sleeper sofa, while a little more expensive than other options in this roundup, is incredibly comfortable and comes with an extra thick 13cm memory foam mattress, the most dense of them all. The unique design of this sleeper sofa, with the mechanism that flips the backrest and seat in order to transform it into a mattress, is a further plus point.

The only drawback to this piece is that it needs assembly, but the tools needed are included with the couch. And it's worth the effort, as the sofa is adored by its customers due to its convenience and flexibility. It's able to comfortably seat two people and offers a wide range of customization options with 11 layouts, 194 fabrics 5 widths, 4 depths and 6 chaise lengths.

Unlike other types of sleeper sofas couches, this one from west elm has bed frames in its structure to make the process of conversion easier and more comfortable. When it is not in couch mode, the mattress is concealed beneath the cushions and it takes just minutes to fold it out into a bed. The mattress isn't thin or uncomfortable, and has a built-in compartment that can be used to store blankets and pillows.

Style

A couch bed comes in a variety. The most popular is a sleeper sofa, which has the mattress and frame for the bed inside its structure. These couches are more comfortable for sleeping than air mattresses or traditional pull-out couches. They also provide a more consistent feel to the mattress.

Click-clack sofa beds are yet another type that can be transformed from a couch into bed in just one move. The underside of the structure is to be lifted and tipped back before it can be laid flat to accommodate a mattress.

A daybed is similar to a couch bed, but it has a higher back and armrests. This type of couch has mattresses that are covered by a removable slipcover, making it a perfect option for those who want the functionality of a sofa bed but prefers a more traditional design. This type of couch also has the added benefit that you can put the bedding away when it is not being used.

Durability

You want a sofa to stand up to the demands of daily use. Make sure you choose a sturdy design like solid wood frames as well as reinforced seams and armrests with padding that won't fall over time. You'll also want a strong fabric that's easy to clean and is able to take on spills and stains. If you're not sure which fabric is best for you take a look at material swatches from the brand prior to purchasing to see how it will look in your home.

The two-seater sleeper sofa made by Emma Sleep is an excellent example of the comfort and durability in a sleeper couch. The mattress is 10 inches thick when laid flat, and is constructed of CentriPur foam that's designed to keep your sleep cool. It's also free of latex and reduces allergies. I found it very comfortable to sleep on and the only drawback was that turning it back into a couch took a bit of effort (it's not as simple to convert into an air mattress).

The frame of this sleeper is made of birch to ensure durability and strength. It's also upholstered in polyester that is easy to clean and comes with a throw cushion for extra comfort. The chaise is a nice feature that can also be used as a headrest when the couch transforms into a bed.

Another alternative for a comfy, functional sofa bed is this three-seater model from West Elm. The mattress is 13cm thick when folded out, which is a good size and much more comfy than the thin sofa beds that a lot of sleeper couches come with. The extra thickness makes it easy to pull out the bed when guests arrive, without struggling or falling.

Another great thing about this gray sectional couch is its simple mechanism for converting it to a bed. Unlike some pull-out sofas, which can be difficult to operate and do not feel very secure, this couch has a lever that you press down to open the bed, as well as a bar you can pull out to extend it. It is a little bit more expensive than other sleeper couches, but the quality, comfort, and ease of use make it well worth the cost.

Storage

A sofa bed with built-in storage is a great alternative for those with small space. This type of couch features an enclosed compartment in which you can store bedding and pillows that fold down the bed easily when guests arrive. This furniture is available in a wide range of upholstery fabrics that fit most standard mattresses.

Storing the Couch in a manner that Allows for Air Flow

When storing your couch for small living room do not stack boxes on the top of it or against it. This could damage the cushions and frame and leave water behind, which could cause mold or mildew. It's also important to store the couch at a suitable distance from the wall in your self-storage unit in order to allow for airflow.

Additionally, it is important to clean the couch thoroughly prior to putting it in storage. This means vacuuming the fabric and wiping the non-fabric areas and also the sofa feet. This will reduce the risk of mildew and mold growth, and also protect the fabric from pests.
