Contemporary Folding Sofa Bed
Latitude Run®
Perfect For: Individuals in need of extra storage space
What We Like: The chic two-toned gray and white construction
Showcasing a modern silhouette, this folding sofa bed features a streamlined base and armrests fashioned out of metal and wood. The gray cotton-blend upholstered convertible seating is stuffed with soft foam and easily folds out into a full-size bed when needed. There are handy double storage pockets on each side as well as a drawer under the seat ideal for daily essentials.
Designer Advice:
Incorporate this stylish folding sofa bed into any contemporary living space with neutral tones on the walls, such as grey or white. Add stone top side tables on either side of the folding sofa bed for functional purposes. A modern faux cowhide rug positioned in front of the folding sofa bed would add a nice hint of texture and unexpected shape as well.

Pull Down Couch with Removable Armrests
Andover Mills™
What we like: Middle armrest has two cup holders
What we don’t like: Flat side armrests
Not so great for: Offering support
Perfect for: A modern living room
Stain-resistant, this pull down couch can sit three people as a sofa and two when converted into a bed. The high-quality linen upholstery blend will keep you cool in the summer and won’t feel cold-to-the-touch in the winter. Because of this, we think it’s a solid all-year-round option.
The armrests are removable, but attached with hook-and-loop straps, meaning an extra person can sit if required. However, the lack of a sturdy armrest may be frustrating for some. Plus, the gray/green color option does not have all the features of the just green option.
Square Arm Fold Down Couch
Joss & Main
What we like: Generous weight capacity
What we don’t like: Uninteresting design
Not so great for: Bold or bright rooms
Perfect for: Traditionally decorated living spaces
Designed to transform into a queen-sized bed, this fold down couch has legs made of solid and manufactured wood. It also comes with two matching throw pillows for that finishing touch. Pick from a huge range of forty-three colors, including neutrals and brighter picks.
Upholstered in fiber-wrapped foam, the reversible cushions mean it will be easy to maintain over time. The removable seat cushions also make it that bit easier to keep looking box-fresh. Best of all, the 750lb weight capacity makes it a solid and sturdy option, perfect if you want something to last throughout the years. No assembly is required.

Contemporary Fold up Couch
What we like: Streamlined design
What we don’t like: Only neutral colors available
Not so great for: Non-contemporary spaces
Perfect for: Contemporary and ultra-modern décor schemes
Streamlined and accentuated by clean lines, this fold up couch is supported by angled metal legs in a black finish. Crafted with a solid wood frame and filled with foam, it is attractive to the eye and can hold up to 650lbs. For a small touch of luxury, genuine leather straps are included with a bolster pillow that offers a hint of rustic charm.
This couch would be a great choice if you have a wide, open space and prefer minimalist furniture. In spite of its good features, the five color choices available may be disappointing. All neutrals, you could add cushions in brighter hues to prevent your couch from looking dull.
Velvet Folding Sofa Bed
Mercury Row®
What we like: Good choice of colors
What we don’t like: Can only be cleaned with water-based agents
Not so great for: Minimalist spaces
Perfect for: Adding a touch of understated luxury
Chic and elegant, this velvet folding sofa bed is available in ten color choices, including mustard and light gray. Upholstered in plush tufted velvet, it has a glam luxe design inspired by the 1950s.
It is a great option if you want a sofa that will draw compliments during the day but is also sumptuously soft for guests to relax on at night. Its generous weight capacity of 600lbs means up to three people can use it when it is in sofa position. Additionally, the soft padding under the feet will prevent scratches on wooden floor, even if your guests are restless sleepers.
Smaller Folding Couch
Mercury Row® Teen
What we like: Removable back cushions
What we don’t like: Not many color choices
Not so great for: A big living space
Perfect for: Studio apartments or bedrooms
An ideal option for a studio apartment or bedroom, this folding couch measures a little over fifty inches wide. We also think it would be a great addition to a teen’s bedroom for when their friends come over to sleep. This leaves the living room free so you can still enjoy your night. The removable back cushions can be used for extra support or put away until it is converted into a sofa again.
Although limited, the color options are charcoal, light gray, or mustard, two of which would go with almost any color scheme. As for downsides, it can only accommodate up to 300lbs, which could limit functionality.
Armless Fold Down Sleeper Sofa
Trule
What we like: Multifunctional use
What we don’t like: Nowhere to rest arms
Not so great for: Large living rooms
Perfect for: Studio apartments
Simply designed, this fold down sleeper sofa is the perfect option if you want a quick solution for when guests to come to stay. Available in classic beige or navy blue, it is upholstered in a polyester blend and has tufting detail at the back. Not just for sleeping on, this sleeper can be used to create a cozy nook in your bedroom, too.
A downside is the lack of arms and legs, which means this sofa isn’t a good option if you need extra support when sitting. However, you can adjust the floor height to five different levels. Also, the lower weight capacity of 220lbs means only one person could comfortably sleep on it.
Solid Wood Fold Away Couch
What we like: Solid wood base
What we don’t like: Can’t seat many
Not so great for: Bigger families
Perfect for: A modern take on 1970s furniture
Crafted with a solid wood base, this fold away couch is just the thing if you don’t want a classic sleeper sofa. Sleek and modern, it comes in three color choices of rust-orange, white, or black. We think the rust-orange shade would look amazing paired with earth tones. Plus, the design has roots from the 1970s with its curved arms and rounded back.
Nevertheless, the lower weight capacity of 350lbs could be an issue, although it isn’t stated how many this sofa can comfortably accommodate. We would not recommend it for more than two to sit or sleep. It comes partially assembled with all tools required included.
Large Sleeper Sofa
What we like: Heaps of space to stretch out
What we don’t like: Slightly dated design
Not so great for: Smaller spaces or apartments
Perfect for: A large living room or bedroom
Stain, water, and fade-resistant, this sleeper sofa has it all. However, the design, which includes a dressmaker skirt, could possibly look outdated depending on your décor scheme. It comes in fifty-five color and finish options, ranging from solid hues to textured surfaces. Whatever you choose, the 100% cotton polyester blend will feel soft to the touch.
As for size, it pulls out into a queen-sized bed. Measuring almost one hundred inches wide, it is an excellent option if you want to give overnight guests the space of a real queen size. Moreover, the sinuous spring seat and down fill seat will offer support for those long movie nights.
Curved Arm Fold Down Sofa Bed
Novogratz
What we like: Curved arms are comfortable and chic
What we don’t like: Flatter cushions
Not so great for: A glam décor scheme
Perfect for: A simple sleeper sofa
This fold down sofa bed converts into a twin size sleeper bed perfect for two. Modern and sleek, it is equipped with legs in the center to give extra support when you’re using it as a sleeper. Plus, the legs are made of solid wood. The curved armrests will offer supreme comfort for your head during the day, and, when it’s time for bed, the ribbed back will do the same.
You can choose from eight colors, ranging from neutral shades like light gray to more cheerful light pink. This choice of colors, along with the ribbed back and curved arms, make it an ideal option for any modern living room.
