A sleeper chair is a multifunctional piece of furniture that allows you to host an overnight guest when you don't have enough space for a traditional bed. It's a smaller alternative to a sleeper sofa, and it can be a lifesaver if a friend has had a few too many to drive (or when family drops by unexpectedly).
"During the day, sleeper chairs function as regular lounge chairs, but at night they can convert into a place to sleep," Katie Simpson, interior designer at Mackenzie Collier Interiors, explained. "They'll make your space more versatile and are great for parents who need to host children's sleepovers!"
Sleeper chairs are the perfect versatile option — they're more comfortable to sleep in than recliner chairs and more space-efficient than sleeper sofas. So keep reading to see our top 12 picks for sleeper chairs in 2024 and find the perfect fit for your home.

What Should You Look for in a Sleeper Chair?
Size
Before buying a sleeper chair, outline its fully-extended dimensions in masking tape on your floor to see how it will fit in your space. This precaution ensures that you'll have space for it when the bed is pulled out.
Comfort
When the chair is extended, you'll want to ensure the mattress is thick enough to provide comfort for sleeping. And since online shopping means you can't feel the mattress ahead of time, always look at the dimensions before buying.
Durability
"Depending on how often and who intends to use the chair, I always opt for a performance fabric that can withstand high traffic and is stain/spill-resistant," said Katie Simpson.
Opting for a sleeper chair with easy-clean, stain-resistant fabric helps keep it looking nice for longer. And if the chair you want doesn't have performance fabric, you can always look for a slipcover that does!
