Learn more about the benefits of owning a sectional sleeper sofa and discover a few of our favorite sleeper sofas that could work for your own space.
What is a sectional sleeper sofa?
A sectional sleeper sofa is one of many convertible sleeping options to use in your home. It can transform from a sectional sofa into a bed with a few quick adjustments. This is ideal for areas that you don’t usually use as a guest room and for small spaces that require adaptability.
As you shop for a sleeper sectional, you’ll likely notice the terms sofa bed and sofa sleeper used interchangeably. There’s a difference between the two, though. Here’s what you need to know:
- Sofa beds are generally designed to lay flat and turn into a bed, but they do not include a mattress.
- Sofa sleepers typically feature a mattress hidden beneath the seat cushions that folds out into a more traditional bed.
A sectional sleeper sofa can be either a sofa bed or a sofa sleeper. Most include tucked away mattresses, but some transform into a bed using the sectional pieces for convenience.
What sets the sectional sleeper apart from standard sofa beds and sofa sleepers is that it has multiple sections. These sections allow you to change the layout and sometimes the size of the sofa.
Some sectionals include a reversible chaise lounge that you can use on either end of the sofa. Others can transform from a small loveseat to a large L-shaped sofa when you add new sections.
Top 5 benefits of a sleeper sectional
If you’re looking for an alternative sleeping solution that’s stylish, practical, and comfortable, sleeper sectionals take the cake. Though we’ve already touched on some of the benefits simply by describing what a sectional sleeper sofa is, let’s take a closer look at a handful of advantages that sectional sleeper sofas can add to your place.
1. Space-saving
The most obvious benefit of having a sleeper sectional is multifunctionality in a small space. You can use a sectional sleeper to get around space limitations whether you live in a studio apartment or multi-level home. And with average home sizes decreasing every year, space-saving furniture is in high demand.
By saving space and covering both the seating and sleeping solutions with one piece of furniture, you’ll have more room to add other furniture and decor.
2. Comfortable
Sofa beds and sleeper sofas have a bad reputation for being uncomfortable, but you might be surprised at how wrong this is. Today’s options feature supportive mattresses and cushions that provide high levels of comfort, quality, and durability. Your grandparent’s basement pull-out bed or futon might have been nightmarish, but things have changed.
You can trust today’s furniture to provide a different experience for you and your guests. Many of today’s pull-out beds even feature memory foam mattresses. Plus, you can replace the mattress with a new one if you find it uncomfortable.
3. Versatile
A sectional sleeper sofa combines two highly functional pieces of furniture to create even more versatility. You can add one of these beauties to any living space, turning your home office, living room, playroom, or even RV into a welcoming guest room.
Sleeper sectionals come in various styles, materials, and colors, so you won’t have any trouble finding one that fits in seamlessly with your existing interior design. What looks like a simple faux leather sofa or loveseat turns into a comfortable bed in minutes.
4. Saves you money
A bed and a sectional for the price of one piece of furniture? Yes, please. A sectional sleeper sofa is an affordable solution for quickly furnishing a small apartment, guest room, or any other space without sacrificing style or quality.
And if you choose a pull-out couch with a replaceable mattress, you can upgrade it just by replacing the mattress instead of maxing out the credit card with all new furniture.
5. Adds an element of fun
Kids love sectional sofa beds, and many adults do too. There’s something fun about turning your couch into a bed for a sleepover. You get to stack the throw pillows to the side, rearrange the room a bit, and turn a hangout zone into a cozy sleeping space.
If you host friends or younger family members, they’ll appreciate a comfortable sleeper sofa to spend the night on.
