Convertible Chaise Sofa

For those who are living in small homes or apartments, a convertible chaise sofa is an excellent way to maximize space. Not only do they open up into another area for sleep but they are ideal for bedrooms where teens would like to spend time without hanging out on their beds all the time. Remember, they’re similar in size to a couch, but they only seat one. So, they wouldn’t work out well in a small living room where more than one person would want to sit.

However, a convertible chaise sofa is a luxurious addition to larger living rooms and entertainment rooms. These furniture pieces are ideal for homes that have these large spaces but lack a guest room. That way, you can accommodate out of town guests without the need for a blow-up mattress.

As you’re decorating with a convertible chaise sofa, you’ll find they’re available in many styles. The most popular styles are modern and contemporary. Many of these styles feature upholstery that’s white or bold colors, clean lines, and polished metal frames. You can also find casual styles featuring tufted upholstery and curving details.

When you're shopping for a convertible chaise sofa, one of the first things you'll notice is they're going to vary in size. While they're all generally the size of an average sofa, there is no standard size for a chaise sofa. However, they're typically approximately 34 inches tall, 38 inches wide, and 55 inches long. Their seats generally are about 38 inches wide and 40 inches deep.

Selecting a chaise sofa that converts featuring optimal durability is essential. You’ll find this is especially true if you’re using this in a teen’s room or if you have guests staying over frequently. The main reason is that, when the sofa converts into a bed regularly, you don’t want the frame to wear out quickly. Instead, you want to ensure the materials are high-quality and will handle repeated use. For example, top-quality metal hinges and frames are ideal. You could also opt for high-quality metal hinges in combination with a solid hardwood frame.

Maintenance will depend on the kind of upholstery you select. Be sure to read the care instructions carefully before you attempt to clean any fabric, leather, or faux leather. Spot clean spills immediately using a microfiber cloth that’s been dipped in a warm water solution that’s been mixed with a mild detergent. Be sure to vacuum the dust off the convertible chaise sofa regularly to prevent build-up from occurring and to reduce allergins.
