There are few furniture items that are truly multifunctional, but sofa beds always have been. Sofa beds are the most versatile today that they ever have been. The thin, uncomfortable mattress is a thing of the past in a high quality sleeper sofa. Today’s sofa beds offer quality and comfort at levels unknown in the past.
Today’s sleeper sofas also are available in many more styles than in the past. The queen sofa sleeper still is the most common, but sectional sleeper sofas also are popular. So are loveseat styles that provide single beds for individuals.
The result for those shopping for a sleeper sofa is that they are able to design a room that also contains a sofa bed, rather than having to choose a standard sleeper sofa and then decorate around it. The room that calls for a sectional sofa can have that style and hold a hidden bed too. The same is true for the place best suited to a loveseat or an oversized chair. No longer does design have to suffer for the sake of being able to provide an extra bed on occasion.
Neither are today’s sleeper sofas the uncomfortable beds that many were in years past. There is a wide selection of mattress types and thicknesses available now, extending even to a 12” mattress that surpasses the thickness of many daily-use standard bed mattresses. Today, there are foam mattresses, coil mattresses, and even Tempur-Pedic® mattresses available for sleeper sofas.
The bottom line is that both style and comfort exist in the same piece of versatile furniture. Shoppers can choose the style that best suits the space they are shopping for, without having to sacrifice any comfort for their guests.
