The Best Sleeper Sofas for Giving Your Overnight Guests the 5-Star Treatment

Normally “sleeper sofa” and “sleek” do not belong in the same sentence — but the Interior Define James Sofa changes that. This made-to-order design is a decor chameleon, looking perfectly tailored yet wide and cushy enough to be an inviting seat in any home.

It is available in over 100 colors and fabric options. Plus, the brand allows you to buy the sofa and take up to 30 days to decide between your 10 favorite free swatches. The shape and fill of the sofa cushions, as well as the type of mattress that's tucked inside, are customizable, too.

White-glove delivery is included with the shipping charge of this sleeper sofa, so you don't have to sweat over the hassle of installation. We've named this as the best sleeper sofa overall because it truly is the total package.

It is a made-to-order, very substantial piece that reviewers say is exactly what you want if you value quality that'll hold up to many years of use. The upholstery comes in a broad spectrum of choices and includes two toss pillows that'll complete the look.

Kick back and get cozy on the Legend Vansen Velvet Pillow Top Arm Sleeper — the back folds down to turn it into an impromptu bed. Even when situated upright, the generously tufted ridges on this velvet sofa are a tempting invitation to catnap.

Reviewers love how the rich look of the velvet elevates a room, and many report that the sofa's assembly is a super easy process.

When you have an authentic leather sleeper sofa at home like the Mario Capasa Spazio Mini Sofa Bed, your place becomes infinitely cozier and homier.

This sizable, 78-inch long sofa houses a mattress inside that's just slightly bigger than a full bed. Upholstered in full-grain Italian leather, the material is resilient and long-lasting — just make sure that you clean spills as soon as they happen, and treat the surface with a leather conditioner once or twice a year.

While the brand will coordinate a shipping time with you (which may cost an additional fee based on location), assembly is required for this item.

Even if you only entertain occasionally, the Pottery Barn Comfort Square Arm Slipcovered Sleeper Sofa is an extra-plush mainstay for the living room. A relaxed profile with customizable, expertly tailored upholstery, it's perfect for curling up with a good book or TV series.

The memory-foam queen mattress inside folds out easily and is comfortable enough for anyone sleeping over for multiple nights. The mattress even has a double-locking headrest to allow for the head of it to tilt up for easy book-reading or movie-watching.

Shipping may not be included, but you have the option of doorstep delivery or the full white-glove treatment with unboxing, assembly, inspection, and all packing materials removed for you.

The EQ3 Reva Narrow Double Sleeper Sofa has a clean-lined construction that strikes the right aesthetic balance between minimalist and warm. This beautifully crafted sleeper sofa’s bed pulls right out of the midsection, without having to toss the seat cushions aside. Both the seat cushions and the mattress are made of memory foam, so you’ll be plenty comfortable whether you’re sitting or sleeping on it.

This couch model offers plenty of customization options: Choose between fabric or leather upholstery (in dozens of colors each), a double or queen-sized bed, the width of the arms, and even the material of the sofa legs.

Once you've created your sofa and have waited 14-16 weeks for its construction, it will either be delivered to your doorstep or brought in to assemble, per your instructions at checkout.

The made-to-order, retro-style Apt 2B Nora Queen Size Sleeper Sofa is a total knockout. No one you know will have a couch like this. Its single-seat cushion is roomy, giving enough space for multiple sitters (or just you) to lounge. It can squeeze in up to four people total.

You can upholster this sofa in over 50 different colors and fabrics that range from velvet, microfiber, and a variety of textured woven fabrics. What's consistent about all of them is that they are kid- and pet-friendly and super easy to clean — you can get up to 10 swatches of them for free. The sofa base is also available in three different finishes.

As for the pull-out bed? You can choose between a queen-size deluxe innerspring or memory foam mattress, the latter costing about $212 more.

If you want a couch that has the luxe luster of leather without the wallet-busting expense, the Ashley Furniture Bladen Full Sofa Sleeper is the perfect alternative.

This sofa, believe it or not, is upholstered from a polyester blend that has the soft, comforting feel of a broken-in leather sofa — without all the scuffs that come with it! This big softy pulls out into a full-sized bed, but TBH, reviewers say that the couch itself is comfy enough to snooze on.

Shipping isn't included, but you have the option of doorstep delivery or white-glove delivery with in-home assembly. We recommend springing for the latter, as it's only $30 more.

If space is tight — too tight even for a regular-sized couch — opt for the small, cushy Red Barrel Studio Kimberlye Velvet Square Arm Sofa Bed, so you don't have to send any out-of-town guests packing once bedtime rolls around.

It functions as an oversized easy chair during daytime hours, and it pulls out into a comfortable, twin-sized bed at night in no time at all. It does its job easily and effortlessly, though users advise getting a mattress topper to go with it.

The Tmosi Couch With Pull-Out Bed has a unique sectional design that allows you to situate its chaise on either side — from there, you can easily pull out a hidden section underneath the short sofa seat to complete its full-size bed shape.

Its velvet upholstery is embroidered with contrast stitching and button tufting, and the whole sofa is studded with nailheads. Keep in mind that this sofa does require assembly. Reviewers don't mind, though, and say that the process is easy and the result is firm but fits wonderfully in a space.

The chaise also offers hidden storage space if you lift its seat — the perfect place to stow your spare bedding for this sleeping spot!
