A Little Background

Sleeper sofas, or sofa beds, are very innovative, stylish and space-saving types of sofas that have been around since the 2000s. They are mostly seen in apartments, RVs and can be used for camping and traveling. Because they are a 2 in 1 type of upholstery that can still look elegant and stylish at the same time, the sleeper sofas can benefit even the smallest room spaces and the simplest homes.
Sleepovers and serving guests have always been troublesome for most homeowners that have limited space and furniture. This is why the sleeper sofa is a great aid to them because it not only acts as a sofa for entertaining the guests – it also easily converts to a nice bed for when they want to sleep.
Generally speaking, sleeper sofas are great dual purpose companions wherever you go, depending on their size and shape, and can add a luxurious accent to your home even at a small space.

How We Picked

We picked the best sleeper sofa based from the following criteria:
How big is the sleeper sofa? How many people can fit? The size and the dimensions must be known in order to have a very comfortable sleeper sofa. Know how many people can sleep on it or can sit on it as a regular sofa, and you must also know its weight capacity so that you will not be disappointed if it breaks due to excessive weight of many people sitting on it or many people sleeping on it when it is not a full size bed after all.
What is the material of the sleeper sofa? The material must be easy to clean and should also be very durable. Foam inside the mattress must be able to support weight and withstand just about any kind of sleeping, sitting for long hours or any other home activity.
Is it soft and comfortable but durable at the same time? The texture of the sleeper sofa must be great and offer comfort and durability in one package. It helps to have a very comfortable and soft sleeper sofa to add to your living space or take with you to camp or a sleepover or an apartment.
Can it easily be rolled or converted between a sleeper sofa and a regular sofa? A sleepover sofa is well renowned for being able to be stored in tight spaces without much problem. They can be used as sofas and as beds at any time and can be used and moved from place to place without much hassle, compared to regular sofas and regular beds. If you lack beds but lack space then sleeper sofas are great additions to any home or living space.
Is it very stylish or is it made from great outer materials and color combinations? More importantly, can you choose from a variety of color combinations? There are sleeper sofas out there that have a variety of colors to choose from other than the comfortable and durable material underneath the mattress.
Are the covers washable and easily cleaned? If you are buying very delicate material made sofas then you should be wary that they cannot be washed with just simple cleaning materials. The sleeper sofa that you should have should be easily cleaned along with its ability to be stored simply.
Does it come with pillows or at least removable arm rests? The more convenient it is with the additional features of the sleeper sofa, the better. Extra pillows that are matching to its design and material or somehow complementary to its color scheme will definitely make your sleeper sofa stand out for your guests and for your family.
What is the price of the sleeper sofa? Consider the fact that sleeper sofas can be a bit pricey depending on the material and the size, so make sure you compare and contrast before you buy.
How about the reviews? What do they say about the sleeper sofa? Know if there had been some cons and read some reviews that are bit too critical. Know if the sleeper sofa had some problems with sleeping and comfort in general.
