1. An upholstered sleeper sofa that may be small (read: space-efficient!) but doesn't lack for guest-friendly features, like sofa cup holders on each armrest and integrated USB charging ports so their phone can charge right next to them through the night.
Promising review: "Well built and easy to assemble. Love the shade of blue and the texture of the fabric. Seat cushions a bit firm but quite comfortable for a sleeper sofa. Bed very easy to open with independently mounted wood rails (on springs) under mattress that provide good support. Very happy with this purchase for our small apartment." —Anonymous
Get it from Wayfair for $729.99 (available in three colors).
2. A gorgeous sleeper sofa available in 58 colors — you can pick between everything from hot pink velvet (very Barbie!) to a '70s-inspired burnt orange fabric style. You can also opt for an innerspring or memory foam mattress!
Promising review: "This sofa is absolutely stunning. We ordered this in the Evergreen Velvet — it's true to color and the fabric is buttery soft. It rivals our previous West Elm sectional, and is by far more comfortable. I wish I would have spent a bit more for the memory foam. The innerspring mattress isn't terribly uncomfortable, but I think we'll need a mattress topper for our guests. We did a ton of research for pullout-sleeper sofas and none compare to the price, size, and quality. I'm so happy we found this one. It's exactly what we've been searching for!" —Teresa L.
Get it from Apt 2B for $2,958.40+ (originally $3,698; available in 58 styles, four leg finishes, and innerspring or memory foam mattress options).
3. A cute-as-a-button tufted sleeper complete with matching bolster pillows giving it a cheery retro look. Tucked inside is a 5-inch-high memory foam mattress that'll give your guests a great night's sleep. It's equal parts style and comfort!
Promising review: "We were looking to update a spare bedroom with a pull out that had a comfortable mattress, and this fits the bill perfectly. Mattress does not squeak and is pretty good. Couch looks beautiful. Its a bit harder, but perfect for the space!" —Heather S.
Get it from Joybird for $2,267+ (originally $3,598; available in 79 fabrics)
4. A petite slipcovered option if you need an easy-to-clean sofa because kids and/or pets will be crawling all over it. The plush cushions are down-filled and so comfy, one reviewer said it's the softest sofa bed they've ever sat on.
Promising review: "Exactly what we were looking for. We chose the color oyster fabric. It's soft and easy to clean. The pull out bed was important to us for extra guests." —Christopher
Get it from Wayfair for $2,499.99+ (available in 55 styles).
5. A reversible sectional sleeper that unfolds into a queen-sized hybrid mattress with an allergy-free, mildew-resistant core. During the day, you'll have versatile seating ideal for smaller spaces, as the chaise-like ottoman has room for storage and can go on either side of the couch!
Promising review: "Perfect for small or medium space. Not too big or deep. Love that the chaise can be on either side of the couch. Extra storage is great too. Pull-out bed is easy to pull out and comfortable to sleep on." —Fel21
Get it from Crate & Barrel for $2,399 (available in many fabrics and colors).
6. A queen-sized sleeper containing a traditional spring mattress with a pocket coil system if you prefer that firmer, more responsive support.
The plush cushions are reversible, and West Elm says they're a 3 on a scale of 1–5 in terms of firmness.
Get it from West Elm for $1,274.15+ (available in many colors and fabrics).
Looking for a sleeper sofa that's *not* the traditional pull-out mattress style? Here are some more options!
7. A trundle-style sofa bed in case you can't be bothered with a pull-out mattress — setting this up for guests to sleep on couldn't be easier. It's on the firmer side (which some people like), so you can always add more cushioning as needed.
Promising reviews: "So happy. I live in a railroad apartment in Hoboken and this makes for the perfect guest sleeping space and instead of a recliner you can just open it and lounge around. For such a narrow space this fits the bill perfectly!" —Jo D.
"Exactly what I was looking for. Stylish and comfortable. Easy to fold out into a nice sized bed. Friends slept over and shared that it was quite comfortable." —Nadia S.
Get it from Article for $1,599 (available in three colors and also as a sectional).
8. A sleeper sofa simply packed with conveniences, starting with its Sleep Kit containing a custom-cut memory foam topper, fitted and flat sheets, a quilted blanket, pillows, and even an eye mask in case you have a sunlit living room. On top of that, this couch has a built-in USB charger, an easy-to-move modular design, and stain-resistant fabric in case of wine night accidents. Your guest may never want to leave!
Promising review: "My old couch wasn't very comfortable, no back support. This one is great, I'd recommend it for sure. I'm incredibly stubborn, so I tried in vain to assemble it by myself. I got a lot done, but needed help getting the second arm to attach (we had to push everything together, one of us on each side). In the eight days I've had this couch, it has been slept on more than once, super comfy. It is very sturdy and has great back support. The brick color is gorgeous, the fabric is great quality. I love that I got to customize and get exactly what I wanted. This is the nicest couch I've owned." —Jennifer A.
Get it from Burrow for $1,998 (available in five fabric colors, six leg finishes, three arm styles, tufted or non-tufted back pillows, and with other optional upgrades). Just be sure the Sleep Kit under "upgrades" is checked!
9. A bestselling daybed sleeper perfect for a guest room, playroom, office, and other multipurpose rooms where it can sit unobtrusively during the day, then pull out into a queen-sized bed at night with a built-in memory foam mattress. This would make the coziest reading nook (and midday nap spot) too!
This is made to order and available in fabrics like linen, velvet, chenille, and more!
Get it from Pottery Barn for $1,299+ (available in many colors and fabrics).
10. A chic option available in vegan leather as well as velvet and other fabrics. This sleeper simply lays flat so you can dress it up with blankets and sheets as needed — but the cushions themselves have pocket coils surrounded by high-density foam and mattress-quality memory foam so you have that comfy base.
Get it from Albany Park for $1,329+ (originally $1,399; available in five fabric types and two leg colors).
11. An armless sofa designed to be way more comfortable than that futon you crashed on in college. It converts seamlessly into a flat platform for sleeping and lounging, with high-density foam providing cushioning. This would work great in a spare room or office!
Promising review: "Goldilocks, this one is just right! Just what we needed as a spare sleeping space in a home office. Looks nice and is comfy for sitting and for sleeping. Very smooth adjusting from seating to flat space. Fabric is soft and seems quite durable." —Kimberly G.
Get it from Raymour & Flanigan for $662.96 (originally $779.95; available in three colors).
12. Or a vintage-looking velvet futon that's more than just an aesthetic: Its seats contain high-density foam and responsive memory foam to help relieve pressure on your joints and cradle your body, both while lounging and sleeping. Get ready to see shock on everyone's faces when they find out this beauty doubles as sleeper sofa!
Promising review: "I love this couch so much. It folds in half so moving will be so much easier, plus the armrests have their own storage space within the couch! The back can be upright, in a lounge position, or laying all the way down. It’s super easy to change the positions, just remember to pull out the fold-in legs for the laying down position and you’ll need to pull it away from the wall and push it back to adjust each position. The couch is super soft so it’s nice for those with sensory needs. It’s firm but it’s memory foam so it’s also soft and comfy. The size is perfect for me. I went from a huge sectional to this and I’m completely satisfied. Fits three people comfortably. I kept my ottoman so that helps with lounging. My daughter got pizza sauce on it yesterday and it cleaned right up with water. Overall, this couch is awesome and I would recommend it!" —Chelsez
Get it from Target for $232.99 (available in two colors).
13. A budget-friendly, faux leather memory foam sofa bed featuring a split-back design that can lay flat partially or all the way, plus adjustable armrests that can double as head support while laying down.
14. A U-shaped modular sofa offering *tons* of storage — each of its six pieces has a compartment for stashing things like pillows, blankets, and anything else you need to make the bed cozy for guests. When you're ready to prepare it for sleeping, you can join the pieces together to make a full-sized bed. The versatility of this one can't be beat!
Promising reviews: "Easy to put together. Not cheap looking at all. Very sturdy and tons of storage. It will take some time to break in but that’s like most furniture. I love that you can move and arrange the pieces into whatever works best for your space or into a good size bed for guests. I also had to move this into my basement by myself (40+ year old petite woman) so I like that each seat came in a separate box that fit through the doors and stairways easily." —Toni Wedge
Get it from Amazon for $1,199.99 (clip the coupon on the product page to save $100; available in three fabric options, two U-shape configurations, and two other styles).
15. A pillowy velvet adjustable sofa with a trendy look and equally functional design, including built-in storage and three reclinable positions so when movie night is over, your friend can roll right over and go to sleep.
Promising review: "This product is HEAVY! However, it’s also GORGEOUS! I got the green and it goes flawlessly with my mid-century modern theme. The storage underneath makes it great for smaller apartments and the ease of laying it down into a bed is also perfect. Added bonus: If the sofa is up against the wall then you can recline it, if the upright position is too erect." –Anonymous
Get it from Wayfair for $772.99+ (originally $929.99; available in seven colors).
16. A brown faux leather sectional with a pull-out bed and chaise storage and cup holders on each sofa arm, so you have everything you need for your next epic movie night. This upholstery is GREAT for a sectional that'll get a lot of use, as it's way more stain-resistant than traditional leather.
17. A massive U-shaped sectional with chaise storage and tufted back cushions that easily converts to a bed, which is so necessary during the holidays or when you have unexpected overnight guests. Pro tip: Store bedding, especially pillows, in the chaise so you can free up room in your closet. This is the largest sectional on this list.
18. A sectional with a pullout mattress and storage from Article. Because the mattress is a foldout, the cushions on this are extra cushy and comfortable — perfect for those of us who like to sink into our sofas when we sit down.
19. A six-piece sectional that you can convert to a bed just by reconfiguring the pieces, aka no need to pull out a mattress and dress a bed. The seat and back cushions are removable for easy cleaning.
20. A U-shaped sectional with a pull-out bed and ample storage, because you want to get the most bang for your buck. As a sectional, it can easily sit five to six people, and if you pull out the bed part, everyone can lounge together while you take in the latest Love Is Blind episode.
21. A Pottery Barn sectional with chaise storage that has a pull-out twin mattress. While petite at 79.5" wide, its narrow arms mean extra seating space. This is a perfect fit for someone who loves to entertain and host overnight guests but has limited space.
22. A sleeper sofa — the perfect combo between functional and luxury you'll be patting yourself on the back for buying. It has great support and is comfortable enough to spend the night on as well.
I received this sofa and as a person who came from a very old and lumpy sectional and has a bad back, this ergonomic sofa is honestly heaven-sent. As for comfort, the back is suuuuper soft and comfortable, but the bottom is a bit more firm to my liking. And for style...ummmm just look at it! I’m obsessed with the blue velvet texture and the wooden legs look very high-end. I’ve even had numerous friends tell me how it 'really elevated' my space (the *biggest* compliment if you’re someone that loves anything home-decor-related like me). And lastly: the full-size pull-out bed, my best friend’s favorite part about my couch upgrade. She says it’s comfy to sleep on all night (it even has two stability legs so it doesn’t tip over). It’s perfect if you’re someone who has a lot of guests staying over, but lives in a tiny one-bedroom apartment (the struggle). It’s a chunk of change, but I’d say very very worth the investment. I can tell this couch will last me years to come.
