Harmony Modular Sleeper Sectional
Price: $3,598 - $5,598
Shop: West Elm
The West Elm Sleeper Sofa easily makes it to the top of our list. With plush (yet supportive) cushions and a strong build, this piece is great for everyday use. It has 5 throw pillows and a storage chaise where you can store your blankets.
Unlike the super soft cushions, the mattress in the sleeper sofa itself wasn’t very comfortable. It’s doable for one or two night’s rest, though—considering that’s how long you’ll have someone over for a sleepover. The sectional in itself is high-quality and comfy.

Shop: House and Hold
This sleeper sofa is the perfect mix of casual and sophisticated. The seat cushions are removable and reversible which means you can easily clean and refluff them. The legs of the sofa use natural gray oak. This piece makes for a super comfy sofa.
You can also pull out the mattress and form a bed—on metallic legs—within your living room. The queen sleeper mattress isn’t the most comfortable, but it can be swapped out for comfort.

Price: $2,299 - $3,699
Shop: Pottery Barn
This sofa lets you have a living room during the day and a bedroom at night! Its modern sofa bed comes in a two- or three-seater. Its polyester-wrapped cushions are comfy and supportive. But the back cushions aren’t as comfy; you may require you to constantly rotate them.
The material of this couch can repel stains really well—so it’s a good pick if you have a busy household. The slipcover is easy to take off, wash, and then put back on. This means cleaning is simple. Plus, its mattress is ultra-comfortable!
Boucle Sleeper Sofa from Homary

This piece is plush yet structured and is super easy to convert to a bed. It’s also really comfortable, so your guests can have a cozy night in.
Article Nordby Sofa
Product: Nordby 87" Sofa Bed - Pep Gray
Price: $1,599
Shop: Article
This piece is a great blend between a modern sofa and a daybed. It is a durable sofa that is made to last for years on end. Its fabric handles spills well, and it also makes picking up cat hair really easy. So the Nordby sofa is a great pick for families.
The cushions for the sofa are firm but comfortable as well as supportive. However, it’s not the most comforting pick for sleeping. So you may not want to choose this sofa if you’re someone with aches or pains. The couch comes fully assembled (the only setup you need is screwing on the legs).
FAQs
What is sleeper sofa?
A sleeper sofa has a mattress and frame hidden inside of it. You can pull the mattress out (via its mechanism) and turn the sofa into a bed. The advantage of these sofas is that they provide extra sleeping space—without having to buy another bed. They’re really good options for apartments because they can also save space while giving multifunctionality.
How to make sleeper sofa more comfortable?
If the piece you purchase is not really comfortable, you can add to its comfort yourself. You can entirely replace the mattress. Alternatively, you can add a mattress topper (which provides another layer of comfort).
