What to Look for When Buying a Sleeper Sofa
Size
Before buying a sleeper sofa, first measure the size of the room, as well as the doorway and hall passages. If your room is small (a minimum of 70 square feet), your best option is a twin-size sleeper sofa that sleeps just one person. If space isn’t a problem, a queen-size sleeper sofa is a more comfortable solution for guests.
Material
If you’re in the process of designing or redesigning a cozy guest room for guests this holiday season, you’ll probably be interested in the overall appearance of the sleeper sofa you choose. Depending on the design aesthetic of your home or a particular room, the material of a sleeper sofa (leather, velvet, chenille, etc.) can be important. The color of a sleeper sofa can also be crucial. Many sleeper sofas come in a wide range of fabric colors, so it shouldn’t be hard to find one that matches your style.
Assembly
As sleeper sofas are usually heavier than their traditional counterparts, many of them come with in-home delivery and assembly available. This service may not be included in the price, but it’s well worth it for the ease!
Extras
Like a regular bed, most sleeper sofas don’t come with sheets, pillows, pillowcases or blankets. You’ll want to be sure to buy those as well when you’re purchasing your sleeper sofa if they’re not included or you don’t already have them on hand.
With options for every size and style, your sleeper sofa is a click away.
