Sofa beds tend to get a bad rap for uncomfortable designs and stiff mattresses. But there are plenty of springy, snooze-worthy options out there, perfect for visiting guests or tiny studio apartments that don’t fit full-size beds (we’ve all been there).
Here are some of the best options for an effortless night’s sleep.
Best adaptable features: Novogratz Brittany Futon
This sofa comes with a simple, stylish tufted cushion design and tough wooden frame. Choose between four different reclines—closed, half-closed, split back, and fully opened—that allow you to easily shift between snoozing and socializing time. Wide arms make for comfortable sitting positions, and you can select between a variety of colors, including camel faux leather and light blue.
Space-saving design: Futon Sofa Bed Memory Foam Couch Sleeper
Enjoy restful sleep on this memory foam couch, made from easy-to-clean artificial leather upholstery. There are no cushions to remove when you’re converting this sofa into a bed, making it a tidy addition to your living room space. Assembly takes 15 minutes and, once done, you can lounge comfortably on an adjustable headrest.
Best budget option: Flamaker Futon Sofa Bed
This lightweight couch can be adjusted to three different positions to suit your comfortability, whether you’re watching TV or catching some zzz’s. Safely store drinks in two cup holders built into the armrest and—should any spills happen—you can easily clean up the faux leather surface.
Best for children: Marshmallow Furniture 2-in-1 Flip Open Foam Couch Bed
In the market for a children’s sofa bed? Go with this Toy Story-themed one, complete with a removable, washable cover featuring Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Best for kids 2 and up, this couch is made from comfortable foam and comes with a safety zipper to prevent any pinching accidents.
