Annie Mueller, an interior designer, suggests this twin sleeper that is priced affordably from Pottery Barn Teen's collection.

Comfort

The comfort factor is an important consideration when buying a sofa-bed. A lot of sleeper sofas have a thin mattress, which can makes guests feel as if they're sleeping on a platform, not a bed. To avoid this, invest in a mattress topper, such as the Linenspa memory foam one at Amazon to provide extra padding to your sectional couch mattress. This will stop your guests from suffering from back pain, or with metal frames creaking or squeaking.

Another option to improve the comfort of your sofa bed is to select an extension chaise that gives more room for guests to spread out and relax. The color and fabric of your sofa bed will also determine how well it fits into the rest of the room. If you're unsure of which fabric to select, get free material swatches online, and experiment with them in your home before you make an investment.

Durability

Look for construction elements that are durable such as solid wood frames with reinforced edges and padded arms that won't flatten over time. You'll want a fabric that's easy to clean, can handle spills, and be able to handle stains. If you're not sure which fabric is best for you make sure you order material swatches of the brand prior to purchasing to see how it will look in your home.

Stores

This kind of couch comes with an enclosed compartment in which you can store pillows and bedding that fold the bed in a snap when guests arrive.

Storing the Couch to allow air flow

Avoid stacking boxes on the couch when you're storing them. This can cause damage to the frame and cushions as well as leaving moisture behind, which can result in mold or mildew. It is also essential to store the couch at a safe distance from the wall in your self-storage unit in order to allow for airflow.

It's also important to thoroughly clean the couch before taking it to storage. This means vacuuming the fabric and wiping the areas that aren't fabric, and also the sofa feet. This will reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth, and also protect the fabric from pests.
