I'm working on making a 'bonus' room more utilized in our house. We've used it as a guest bedroom with a simple frame, but want to reclaim some living space. We're at a season of life where between kids and snoring, I use the bed 70% of the time, so I want a convertible bed that can be quickly made and comfortable enough for myself and older guests as well.

My mind immediately went to a murphy bed because you can keep the full height mattress and don't need to set up linens every night. My wife rightfully notes that a pullout couch bed will take up significantly less space. I've never used what I would call a 'good' pull out bed, but maybe technology has improved in the past decade or two. Does anyone have any pull-out bed recommendations that would rival a real mattress, or am I on the right track with the murphy set up?

I’m looking to replace the current couch in our guest room/my office with a sleeper sofa, so we don’t have to bring out the uncomfortable air mattress when we have guests sleep over. Would love some recommendations and/or reviews on what sleeper sofa to NOT buy.

Here’s the requirements I’m looking for:

1. Couch width: around 80”, anything longer than 85” is way too long for the space. (Doesn’t matter if it’s full or queen once it’s in bed form)

2. Budget: under $2000 (after tax and delivery)

3. Preferably leather or a fabric that’s easy to clean and water resistant like performance velvet. I don’t really have a style preference

4. Preferably in pull-out bed style or pop out mattress style. I don’t really like the look of a futon, I also slept on a futon as my main bed for like 3 years as a child so maybe I have PTSD

5. Preferably be able to see the couch in stores but not required

6. Bonus points: if it has some type of storage

I was eyeing the Ikea Morabo sleeper in leather for a while, but it’s 87” and that would be too long. I am currently looking at the West Elm Whitman Trundle and it’s a good length and I got a swatch of their performance velvet, and it’s water resistant and can be easily cleaned. But the West Elm stores in Washington don’t have that couch, and I’m not able to find any review or videos of it other than the official product photos, so I’m kinda reluctant to drop $1600+ on it.

I’ve seen a lot of good leather sleepers that meet my criteria but they’re all so ridiculously expensive, and I know it may not be possible to find a couch that meet those criteria, but if there is one that meets 1 and 2 then I would still consider it, if it comes to that. Thank you!!!

We are having a baby soon, and anticipating two grandmas who will want to come for overnight visits. We are looking to add a sleeper sofa to our apartment to give them somewhere nice to sleep, and want something that will last a long time as we don’t like to be wasteful.

DAE have a sleeper sofa they don’t feel bad having a 70 yr old parent spend the night on?

We’re also open to other solutions!

ETA: we went with a daybed from Wayfair with our own twin mattresses added to them. Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
