Tufted Sleeper
Zipcode Design™
What we like: Striking details
What we don’t like: Firm cushion
Perfect for: Midcentury modern interiors
Not so great for: Formal living rooms
Modern and eye-catching, this folding bed chair exudes a midcentury retro aesthetic with its channel tufting that runs from the backrest down to the seat. When fully opened, the backrest can be adjusted into a variety of positions depending on how you want to lounge.
The bed itself has a firm-to-hard density, which some find to be uncomfortable. We recommend placing a mattress topper when using it for sleeping, especially if you prefer something to sink into. Available in three linen fabric upholstery and toss pillow colors.

Button Tufted Sleeper
Latitude Run®
What we like: Soft and oversized back cushion
What we don’t like: Narrow and short dimensions
Perfect for: Compact, urban apartments
Not so great for: Tall people
A folding chair bed with cute and charming details. It showcases a thick button-tufted backrest that can be used as a pillow when converted into a bed. Filled with high-density elastic foam fill, it is covered in 100% polyester fabric, available in gray and ivory. Below, it is supported by rounded stainless steel legs.
While its width and length can accommodate kids and teens, it might not be big enough for tall adults. We also recommend adding a foam topper to make it softer. As a chair, the back cushion provides enough plushness, making it perfect to place in the entertainment room or as an accent chair for your reading nook.

Sleeper with Side Arms
Greyleigh™ Teen
What we like: Designer aesthetic
What we don’t like: Convertible legs tend to be wobbly
Perfect for: Modern industrial and moody interiors
Not so great for: Traditional and transitional interiors
Unique with a modern aesthetic, this sleeper chair folding foam bed has a wide seat and backrest. What makes it distinct is its armrests that turn into additional leg supports when the chair is converted to a bed. Framed in metal with a black finish and upholstered in linen, available in gray, beige, black, and brown fabric colors.
As a chair, this piece sits low on the ground, which makes it ideal for lounging. As a piece of sleeping furniture, the side arms can feel a bit wobbly, especially when used regularly. We recommend tightening it once in a while so that it maintains its stability.

What we don’t like: Above-average price point
Perfect for: Living room arrangements
Not so great for: Its limited color selection
A great piece for traditional and transitional interiors, this foldable sleeping chair doubles as a formal loveseat in the living room. It features scrolled arms, a low backrest, an oversized back cushion, and a thick padded seat.
