Sleeper Sofas Can Make Guests Feel at Home
If you are just moving into an apartment or new home, you will want to provide accommodations for occasional overnight guests. Perhaps when you first established your home you had a guest room, but then kids arrived and took up the space. If you no longer have a spare room, there are other options. One of those options is a sleeper sofa.
A sleeper sofa is a sofa that is constructed with a metal frame holding a mattress that can be pulled out to make a bed. If you were thinking about getting a new sofa for your living room or family room anyway (face it, kids can be hard on furniture) this is a good time to make that sofa serve a dual purpose. You can find many styles and you should be able to find just the sleeper sofa to fit your décor.
Sleeper sofas also come in a wide price range. You will want to look for the best quality to fit your budget. If the piece of furniture will be used mainly as a sofa you will want the comfort of the sofa to be a priority. However, you still want your guests to get a good nights rest, so you will want to open the bed before you buy and test the mattress. A latex mattress will give the best comfort, but of course they are the most expensive. You can always plan on adding a memory foam or an eggshell foam pad when you make up the bed.
A futon is one of the popular choices for a sleeper sofa, especially is you are going to place it in a den or are changing an office into a multi-purpose room. The difference between a futon and a sleeper sofa is in the construction. The futon is a frame which is hinged in the middle so it can be raised to form a seating area or laid flat to make a bed platform. They are made of metal or wood, come in many styles from contemporary to traditional, and also come in a wide price range. A big advantage is that the mattress and mattress cover are each sold separately. Your budget will probably dictate the mattress you buy, but you will want to get the best you can afford. Most futon mattresses are made of good quality foam that is wrapped with cotton batting. There are a lot of choices and a good sales rep can help you with that. Pick out one of the many good quality futon covers available and make sure that it fits your décor. Now, with just a bit of work, you have a comfortable sofa as well as a bed.

I had the regular Ektorp sleeper sofa (not the corner model), and while it was great as a regular couch, my guests started grumbling after 2 nights sleeping on it. It has a very thin mattress, so more than a night or two on it won’t be very comfy. … We have a full size bed in our 450 sq ft apartment and don’t really have room for a sofa as well.
