When looking for an overnight sleep solution for guests, many people choose futon sofas. However, I have found that there is an alternative to buying a futon. After doing some research, I found a product call convertible sofa beds.

Unlike a standard futon couch which is made up of three separate components such as a mattress, cover, and wood frame, the convertible sofa bed is a single unit which offer the look of a contemporary sofa. These convertible sofa beds have a smart European design mechanism which allows you to change the sofa bed in seconds to a sleeper bed for your guests.

A convertible sofa bed can usually sleep up to 2 people. These sofa beds require only a simple lift until you hear a click and the back area folds down to become a comfortable bed. Since the cushion is built in and the sofa already upholstered, there is nothing else to buy. I found the simplicity appealing and it made the whole shopping process easier.

I think many people will find these sofa beds are a great alternative to futon beds as well. With their simple to use design and attractive looks, I recommend them as an economical extra sleep solution for you or your guests.

Convertible sofa beds can be found at most furniture stores and at
