Interested in creating a comfy spot where you can enjoy a snooze at home? A sofa bed may be just what you’re searching for.

Sofa beds are furniture pieces that can transform from a couch to a handy spare bed in a matter of seconds. In a nutshell, these couches have brought napping, snuggling and nighttime snoozes to a whole new level.

Compared to buying a new bed and mattress, sofa beds offer you convenience, space-saving solutions and an extra spot to sleep, all at a more affordable price point.

Whether you live in a small apartment or a large house, there are plenty of options from small, corner and double beds, so you’re bound to find one that will fit your living arrangements.

When it comes to finding the perfect sofa bed, there are so many options, styles and features to consider. For an easier shopping experience, we've broken them down so you can find one to fit your needs.

Smaller apartments are best served by a single or two-seater sofa bed. It won't take up too much space and can also convert into a decent-sized makeshift bed when needed. For large living areas, choose a smaller couch to accommodate the occasional guest or a double sofa bed to allow your guests to snooze peacefully every night.

Measure, measure and measure. To ensure that your sofa bed properly fits into your space, take note of all the dimensions of your intended sofa spot and compare them against the sofas you're browsing.

What's your style? Do you want a bright and loud sofa that is the focal point of your space? Or do you want something subtle that adds an air of sophistication? Your home's interior decor and your personal taste should dictate the sofa you choose, so be prepared to shop around for what’s right for you.

Sofa beds are a great option for those who need an extra sleeping space but don't want to fork out on another bed. They are worth considering if you anticipate frequently needing to accommodate guests in a spare, convenient make-shift bed.

Based on your budget and needs, choose fabric, linen or leather sofas that will be easy to maintain, clean and most importantly, ever so cushy.

Depending on the size and type of sofa, they can be folded out into beds in various ways. Consider the ease of assembly when choosing the right furniture for your home.

With our collection of the best furniture, you’re sure to find a snooze-worthy set to fit every taste.
