Buying a Couch Bed

You may not have thought about this type of multifunctional furniture but sofa beds are a space-saving solution for many. Interior designer Annie Mueller recommends this budget-friendly twin sleeper from Pottery Barn's teens collection. She suggests that the sofa seat cushion can be unfolded to create an inflatable mattress of 10" on the floor.

Comfort

When you are buying a sofa bed, comfort is the most important factor. Many sleeper couches have a thin mattress, which can make guests feel like they are sleeping on a platform, not a bed. To avoid this problem, you can add padding to the mattress of your couch bed by purchasing a mattress topper, such as the Linenspa Memory Foam one available at Amazon. This will help keep your guests from waking up with back pain or metal frames creaking and squeaking.

A chaise extension can allow guests to stretch out and unwind more comfortably. The fabric and color of your sofa bed will also determine how well it blends in with the rest of the room. Get free fabric swatches and take them to test in your home to determine the ideal fabric for your needs.

This midcentury modern sofa from Anthropologie is a great option if you want an ottoman or bed that is comfortable in both forms. With a queen-sized innerspring mattress, this couch is ideal for entertaining guests and fits two people comfortably. It's also customizable with more than 70 fabrics and cushion configurations.

The sleeper sofa, while slightly more expensive than the other options in this roundup, is extremely comfortable and comes with an extra thick 13cm memory foam mattress--the most thick of all. Its unique design, with a pull-out mechanism that flips the backrest and seat to convert it into the bed, is an important selling factor.

It requires assembly, however all the tools needed are included. It's worth it, since this sofa is loved by all buyers for its comfort. It can comfortably fit two people and has many customization options that include 11 designs, 194 fabrics, 5 widths, 4 depths, and six chaise lengths.

The West Elm model is different from other sleeper sofas because it has a bed frame built into its structure. This makes the conversion process simpler and more comfortable. When it is not in velvet sectional couch mode, the mattress can be concealed beneath the cushions and it takes a matter of minutes to fold it out to form a bed. The mattress isn't thin or uncomfortable, and has a built-in compartment that can be used to keep pillows and blankets.

Style

A couch bed comes in a variety. Sleeper sofas are the most common because they incorporate the bed frame and mattress within their structure. These sofas are more comfortable than air mattresses and traditional pull-out sofas, as they have a more consistent mattress.

Click-clack sofa beds can be transformed from a couch into beds in just one action. The structure's bottom is to be lifted and tipped back before it can be laid flat in order to accommodate a mattress.

A daybed is akin to a sofa bed except it has a high back and armrests. This kind of sofa has mattresses that are covered with a removable slipcover making it a perfect choice for someone who wants the convenience of a sofa bed but prefers a more traditional design. This type of sofa also offers the benefit of storage space, since you can put the mattress away when not in use.

Durability

You want a sofa to endure the daily demands of use. Look for durable construction details like solid wooden frames, reinforced edges and cushions that don't sag over time. You'll want a fabric that's easy to clean, is able to handle spills, and handle stains. Request fabric swatches prior to you buy if not sure of the right fabric for your needs.

This two-seater from Emma Sleep is a great example of comfort and durability in sleeper sofas. Its mattress, comprised of CentriPur Foam and is designed to keep you cool when you sleep, is 10 inches thick. It's also latex-free to reduce any allergy concerns. I found it extremely comfortable to sleep on. The only downside was that changing it to a light grey couch required a bit of effort (it's not as simple to convert into an air mattress).

The frame of this sleeper is constructed from birch wood for durability and strength. It's also upholstered with easy-to-clean polyester and includes an extra throw pillow for comfort. The chaise is an added bonus and acts as a comfy headrest when the sofa transforms into a bed.

The three-seater sofa bed by West Elm is another great option for a functional and comfortable sofa bed. The mattress is 13cm thick when folded out and is a decent size and is much more comfortable than the thin sofa beds that many sleeper couches have. The extra thickness makes it easier to remove the mattress at times of guests' arrival without a struggle or slipping.

The other great feature of this couch is its simple mechanism for converting it to bed. It's much safer than some pull-out couches, which are difficult to operate and can feel unsafe. Instead, it features an lever that you can push to unlock the bed, as well as an extension bar that you pull to extend it. It's a little more expensive than other sleeper couches but the quality, comfort, and convenience make it well worth the cost.

Stores

A sofa bed that incorporates built-in storage is a great option for those with limited space. This kind of sofa has an under-the-bed storage compartment that can be used to store bedding and pillows. You can fold the bed down easily when you have guests over. The furniture is multi-functional and comes in a variety of upholstery fabrics that are suitable for the majority of mattresses.

Storing the Couch to Allow Air Flow

When you are storing your sofa Avoid stacking boxes on top of it or against it. This can damage the frame and cushions and leave water behind, which could lead to mildew or mold. It is also essential to store the couch at a reasonable distance from the wall in your self-storage unit to allow for airflow.

In addition, it's important to clean the Brown couch thoroughly prior to putting it in storage. This includes vacuuming the fabric, and wiping the areas that aren't fabric, as well as the sofa feet. This will minimize the chance of mold and mildew growth when you're not using it and also ensure that the fabric is secure from pests that may be looking for a snack.
