Torn Between a Conventional or Sleeper Sofa? We Can Help You Decide What’s Best

If you’re in the market for furniture – particularly living room furniture – you might be debating whether you should invest in a sleeper sofa. There are certainly benefits to owning one, but their placement in your home depends on a few criteria. Before you begin shopping, ask yourself these questions and determine whether you should purchase a sleeper sofa or a conventional couch.

What’s Your Budget?

A sofa bed will be more expensive than its conventional counterpart, which may not be ideal for those looking to save money on furniture. Shoppers with a strict budget may be more inclined to buy a conventional sofa and keep money in their pocket – especially if an extra mattress really isn’t a priority. However, if you’ve made room for the extra cost of a sleeper and know it will get plenty of use, you’ll be adding extra value to your living room.

Are You Hosting Guests?

If you have family and friends frequenting your home, a sleeper sofa could provide an additional bed along with your guest bedroom, and if you don’t have a guest bedroom, a sleeper can be the perfect space-saver for a smaller home. But if guests typically aren’t visiting you, and you’re not in need of the extra sleeping space, a conventional sofa may be more suitable.

Do You Have Enough Space?

Although a couch may fit lengthwise in your living room, the mattress from a sofa bed may take up too much space when it unfolds. If you know that an additional mattress will overcrowd the room, it might be better to purchase a conventional sofa long enough to suit the height of the average person rather than rearrange the rest of your furniture whenever you need to use the mattress.

Are You a Fan of Plush or Firm?

In order to support the frame of a mattress, sleeper sofas tend to be constructed with firmer seat cushions than a conventional sofa. Though some may appreciate the support firmer cushions provide, many prefer to sit on plush or overstuffed cushioning. If softer cushions are for you, a conventional sofa is the way to go, but if you don’t mind a firmer seat, a sleeper sofa will work just fine.
