From understanding the versatility of sleeper sofas to finding the perfect pull-out couch, we're here to help you maximize your space without compromising on comfort.

What is a sleeper sofa?

Couch by day, bed by night; a sleeper sofa is a versatile piece of furniture that functions as both a sofa and a bed. It typically has a hidden mattress and a folding mechanism that allows the sofa to be converted into a bed when needed. This dual-purpose design makes sleeper sofas a convenient and space-saving option for accommodating guests in living rooms or other multifunctional spaces.

What are the dimensions of a sleeper sofa?

Sleeper sofas come in several sizes and many formats. Consider the space where you want to put it and remember the inner bed will be smaller than the width of the sofa. This means that when deciding on how big a sleeper to purchase, it's essential to take into consideration that it can seat more people than it can sleep.

General sleeper bed sizes:

• Ottoman mattress width ranges from 30" to 54"
• Chair/Twin mattress width ranges from 30" to 39"
• Full mattress width ranges from 52" to 55"
• Queen-size mattress width ranges from 58" to 66"
• King-size mattress width ranges from 74" to 76"
• Sectional mattress width ranges from 52" to 66"
• Sectional with Chaise mattress width ranges from 52" to 66"

As you can see, there is a wide range of measurements and the size often varies based on brand and style. Be sure to bring measurements of your space with you when shopping to ensure you get the right size for your living room, home office, or guest room.

Do sleeper sofas come with mattresses?

Yes, sleeper sofas come with a mattress when you buy them. The mattresses in sleeper sofas vary, and some might have basic foam, while others could have fancier options like memory foam or innerspring mattresses.

Can you replace sleeper sofa mattresses

Yes, you can replace sleeper sofa mattresses. It is fairly common to do. When replacing a sleeper sofa bed mattress, measure the size and thickness of the existing mattress carefully so your new mattress will fold up into the sofa frame correctly. You may be able to find replacements on our futon mattress page.

What is the best sleeper sofa?

Rest assured, all Slumberland sleepers are high-quality and reasonably priced. So, the best sofa sleeper for you comes down to the size, type, and style you prefer. Start by measuring your space and determining the size you need. Next, consider what type of seating/sleeper hybrid you want. There is a difference between a sleeper sofa, sofa bed, futon, daybed, and loveseat.

• Sleeper Sofa: A sleeper sofa looks like a traditional couch and has a built-in mattress. It can range in size from twin to king. When folded out, the arms and back of the sofa work as the bed's headboard. Sofa beds are comfortable and convenient, easy to use, and come in a variety of styles. They take up just as much space as a sofa, and you may have to move a few pieces of furniture when you open them up.
• Sofa Bed: Often confused with sleeper sofas, a sofa bed doesn't have an internal mattress. The back and sometimes sides of the sofa fold down into a flat surface, in much the same way a futon does, and this surface becomes the mattress. Since they are more compact, sofa beds are a better option for smaller spaces.
• Futons, Daybeds, and Loveseats: Futons, daybeds, or loveseats offer other sleeping spots for guests. They are narrower and can still offer seating or a prime nap spot during the day and a bed at night.

Once you choose which style of sleeper furniture you want, it comes down to the style. Explore our different fabric options and mattress types to help narrow down your decision for the best sleeper. Lastly, look for accent chairs and end tables to complement your new sleeper and truly transform your space for future guests.

Can a sleeper sofa be disassembled?

In most cases, yes, a sleeper sofa can be disassembled. Especially for moving purposes, you may have to disassemble yours at some point. Consult your user manual or ask our staff to learn if your specific model can be disassembled.
