Buying a deep couch sectional Bed

Sofa beds are multifunctional furniture that can be used in numerous ways. Interior designer Annie Mueller recommends this budget-friendly twin sleeper from Pottery Barn's teens collection. The sofa seat cushion is able to be unfolded to create a 10" foam mattress that rests on the floor.

Comfort

The comfort factor is an important consideration when you're buying a sofa bed. A lot of sleeper sofas have a thin mattress, which can makes guests feel as if they are sleeping on a platform rather than a bed. To avoid this you should invest in a mattress topper, like the Linenspa memory foam one at Amazon to add additional padding to your couch bed's mattress. This will prevent your guests from suffering from back pain, or metal frames creaking or squeaking.

Another option to increase the comfort of your sofa bed is to select an extension chaise that gives more leg room for guests to relax and spread out. The color and material of your sofa bed will determine how well it blends into the surrounding space. If you're not sure which fabric to choose, order free swatches of material online and experiment with them in your home before making an investment.

Unlike other types of sleeper sofas, this one from west elm uses a bed frame within its structure to make the conversion process easier and more comfortable. The mattress is concealed under the cushions when not in couch mode. It takes only a few seconds to fold it up to make an actual bed. The greatest thing is that the mattress isn't thin or uncomfortable, and includes a built-in storage compartment for blankets and pillows.

Style

A couch bed can come in a variety of styles. The most common is a sleeper sofa, which features a mattress and bed frame inside its structure. These couches are much more comfortable than air mattresses and traditional pull-out sofas, as they have a more consistent mattress.

Click-clack style sofa beds can be transformed from a couch to beds in just one action. The underside of the structure has to be lifted and tipped back before it can be laid flat to accommodate the mattress.

A daybed is similar to a sofa bed, except it has a high back and armrests. This kind of sofa has mattresses that are covered with a removable slipcover making it an ideal option for those who want the functionality of a sofa bed, but prefers a more traditional design. This kind of sofa provides the added benefit of storage space, since you can put the bedding away when it's not being used.

Durability

You want a sofa to endure the daily demands of use. Look for sturdy construction details like solid wood frames, reinforced seams and padded armrests that won't flatten over time. You'll want a fabric that is easy to clean, is able to take on spills and be able to handle staining. Order fabric swatches before you buy if you are unsure of the right fabric for you.

The two-seater sleeper sofa made by Emma Sleep is an excellent example of durability and comfort in a sleeper couch. The mattress is 10 inches thick when laid flat and is made of CentriPur foam that is designed to keep you cool. It's also latex-free to reduce any allergy concerns. I found it extremely comfortable to sleep on. The only downside was that changing it back into a faux leather couch required a bit of effort (it's not as easy to convert into an air mattress).

This sleeper's frame is made from birch wood for durability and strength. It's also upholstered with easy-to-clean, polyester and comes with a throw cushion for extra comfort. The chaise is a nice bonus feature and can be used as a comfy headrest when the sofa is converted into a bed.

Another option for a comfortable and functional sofa bed is this three-seater model from West Elm. The mattress measures 13cm wide when folded out. This is a fantastic size and is much more comfortable than the thin sofa bed that a lot of sleeper sofas are equipped with. The extra thickness makes it easier to remove the mattress for guests to arrive without a struggle or slipping.

The other great feature of this sofa is its simple mechanism for changing it into bed. It's much safer than other pull-out couches with storage which are difficult to operate and be uncomfortable to use. Instead, it has the lever you push to unlock the bed, and an extension bar that you pull to extend it. It's a bit more expensive than other sleeper sofas but it's worth the price for its quality, comfort and ease of use.

Stores

A sofa bed that incorporates built-in storage is an excellent option for those who have limited space. This type of black friday couch deals features a hidden compartment where you can store bedding and pillows and allows you to fold down the bed easily when guests arrive. This multifunctional furniture is available in a wide range of upholstery fabrics and fits most standard mattresses.

Storing the Couch in a way that Allows for Air Flow

When storing your couch do not stack boxes on the top of it or against it. This could cause damage to the cushions and frame, as well as create moisture that can result in mold and mildew. It is also important to keep the couch at a suitable distance from the wall of your self-storage unit in order to allow airflow.

It is also important to clean the couch thoroughly prior to putting it in storage. Vacuuming the fabric, wiping down non-fabric surfaces and the sofa feet are all a part of this. This can help minimize the chance of mold and mildew growth when you're not using it, as well as make sure the fabric is secure from pests that may be looking for a snack.
