Best Sleeper Couches Review: Top 5 List

So you’ve moved into a new apartment and you want to optimize your space. There isn’t really room for a spare bed, but you have guests over every now and then. And that is why you are browsing for sleeper couches for sale, isn’t it? You are in luck! The Mattress Warehouse reviewed a whole bunch of sleeper couches to streamline your search for that perfect sleeper. We go into detail about why a good sofa bed is a necessity in each home, and end off by showcasing the best sleepers out there.

Why you need a sleeper couch in your home

Because modern sleeper sofas look great, they are versatile and they are super comfortable. Not to mention that it saves on floor space (and money).

Tip: A sleeper couch and a sleeper sofa is the same thing.

• Aesthetics – With modern manufacturing techniques and fabrics, sleeper couches can look really sleek. Some of these couches are so well made that you won’t even know that they can double as a sleeper bed.
• Versatility – You can put your sleeper sofa in your child’s room as a backup bedding option for when the friends come for a sleepover. Obviously it can go in the living room and you can even have it in your study. Having a backup bed disguised as a couch is always handy.
• Comfort – Nowadays, the foams that are used in sleepers have excellent shape retention properties. So even if you sit on the couch a lot, the mattress will still remain comfortable for when you want to sleep on it.
• Savings – Buying a single piece of furniture, like a sleeper couch, is more cost effective than buying a bed and buying a couch. Moreover, you save at least 180 x 91 cm worth of floor space.

What to remember when shopping for sleeper couches

Not all sleeper couches are equal. Whether you are surfing the web or browsing for sleepers in-store, keep the four M’s in mind:

• Main use
• Mechanism
• Material
• Mattress

Main use

Are you a student living in someone’s loft and you only have space for one piece of furniture or are you simply looking for options on how to get more of your friends to stay over after one of the parties you enjoy hosting at your place? For the first option, look for something that is more focused on sleeping- than sitting comfort. If the latter, a stylish look and comfortable seating will be more of a priority.

Mechanism

There are all sorts of sleeping couch mechanisms involved in turning a couch into a bed and vice versa. Make sure that the sleeper sofa you choose has a mechanism that can withstand wear and tear. If you are going to use it as a primary bed, then basic mechanisms like a fold-out mattress might be better than something with many turning parts.

Material

Are you going for a glamour bedroom or practicality? For glamour, get a leather sleeper. However, if you are going to sleep on the couch all the time, get a sleeper made from breathable and hypoallergenic fabrics.

Mattress

Even sleeper couch mattresses come in different comforts. You can get firm couch pillows/mattresses that are great for sleeping on your stomach all the way through to plush pillows for side sleepers. If the couch serves more of a guest sleeper function, get something with a medium comfort rating because it caters for all sleeping styles.

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Using the four M’s, our expert team reviewed a whole bunch of sleeper couches. Here is what they found.
