Everyone has different needs, which can affect what makes the right sofa bed for your space. For instance, if you have a larger space and frequently invite overnight guests over, an oversized sectional sofa bed with a king-size mattress might be a worthwhile investment.
However, a cozy futon might better fit your lifestyle and budget if you have a small space or don't frequently have overnight guests. "A futon is typically limited in comfort and support, so I usually only recommend them for occasional sleeping use," says Jenon Bailie.
The size and quality of your sleeper sofa's mattress is another important consideration. If you often have the same overnight guests stay the night, you may want to consider their needs. Maybe you often have couples over who might benefit from a king- or queen-size bed. Or perhaps you only have the occasional single guest, so a futon or twin bed might be fine.
"The sofa bed is ultimately designed to function as a guest bed, and the most important part of any bed is the quality of sleep it provides; thus, the mattress truly makes the piece."
In addition to size, it's a good idea to consider the mattress's firmness and general comfort level. Cameron Johnson states, "The sofa bed is ultimately designed to function as a guest bed, and the most important part of any bed is the quality of sleep it provides; thus, the mattress truly makes the piece."
Generally speaking, memory foam mattresses tend to run firmer than innerspring mattresses, so it's helpful to consider whether your guests might want more or less support before committing to a mattress type.
Of course, no one wants to invest in a great piece of furniture only to find that it doesn't last as long as they need it to. That's why it's always best to look at the quality and any warranties that come with a potential sofa bed.
"Like all sofas, investing in a quality piece will ensure you have many years of use," says Natasha Adams." A good quality hardwood frame or metal frame and mechanism will last for decades, and many come with a 10-year structural warranty."
Sofa beds convert in various ways, depending on the type. For instance, some sofa beds feature pull-out bed systems with a hidden mattress that pops out, while others simply fold down, like futons, which turn the seat cushions and backrests into the mattress.
Pull-out sofa beds typically require more space than futons and other convertible sofas, but they also tend to be a bit more comfortable, thanks to a traditional mattress. So if you have a small space, a futon or convertible loveseat might be your best bet, while larger rooms might benefit more from a pull-out option.
