Pro tip: For more comfort and additional cushioning, use a mattress pad and fitted sheet specifically made for sleeper sofas. Also, always remove bedding before closing the sofa to avoid damaging the mechanism (and potentially ripping your sheets). How We Selected

Pullout couches: This style has a real mattress stored inside. After removing the seating, you pull a handle to transform your sofa to an actual bed. These beds require more space than their counterparts below.You can choose from dozens of different upholstery fabrics in varying shades. No matter the color or material, this sleeper sofa comes with a slipcover that’s easy to pull off when it’s time for a cleaning. While it is an investment—and takes some time to ship—you can expect this dual-use couch to last. To convert this sofa into a bed, use the brand's Sleep Kit, which consists of a thin memory foam mattress topper, a custom couch-size sheet set, a quilted blanket, a pillow and an eye mask. No more lending your best new blankets to your guests! Simply open the bagged kit, lay the mattress out on top of the couch, cover the mattress with the sheets and the Nomad is ready for bedtime. Coordinating furniture deliveries can be frustrating, but you don't have to worry about that with Burrow's sofa bed, since it's delivered by mail in three compact boxes. Online reviewers found sofa setup to be much easier than expected and loved the olefin fabric, sharing that it's easy to clean and "feels great." If you don't love a traditional woven material, you can choose a velvet or leather sofa instead. Our tester loved that the included kit's memory foam mattress helped to create a comfier feel for her overnight guests by providing plush support and removing the indentations between her couch cushions. Know that the kit is designed to fit Burrow's Nomad sofa, but you can use the kit on your own narrow couch; it's not ideal for a deeper couch with wider cushions.

Michelle Castagna, president of the Florida chapter of the International Furnishings and Design Association While this sleeper promises to unfurl a queen-size mattress, it does run a little short. At 72 inches long when extended, it’s about eight inches shorter than a standard queen. This means true queen sheets will run large, and taller sleepers may not have enough length. Bed type: Be sure to consider the bed type and upholstery because both affect the overall look and feel of your sofa: This sofa acts more like a futon than a traditional sleeper, with split seat foam cushions that fold down to create a twin-sized bed. You can access the under-seat storage in both couch and bed modes—and while it's on the shallower side, the storage space is still large enough to accommodate sheets, remote controls, and other necessities. Setup was very easy - literally just screw in the legs. It creaks a bit when I sit on it (I'm 220 pounds) but otherwise feels pretty solid. The legs are set up in a way where none of it is supporting the middle of the sofa, but I want to use this until I move (in 8 months), so I have set up additional supports under the structural beams to hopefully increase the amount of weight able to go on one side or the other on this couch. It does look nice, otherwise.If you regularly host guests and want them to get a good night's rest, it's well worth investing in a sleeper sofa. Sure, they may be pricier than an air mattress or a futon, but they generally offer better support—and certainly look more polished (and adult) than other options. Plus, because they do double duty as a bed-couch combo, they also win points for versatility and value. Two weeks in, and I've sat on it for a little bit, as has my SO, and no issues at all. Pretty good so far. :) Keep in mind that this convertible sofa does run a bit small: when folded flat, it falls between a twin and full mattress in its size, running slightly short for taller sleepers. The foam material is also on the firmer side, which might not be preferable for side sleepers. COMFORT: Serta, the first name in comfort, makes Serta-comfortable, sensibly priced, elegant living area seating. The contemporary, convertible Rane sofa provides premium comfort and style. You'll enjoy the Rane for years.
