Arguably one of the best parts of having your own home or apartment is getting to play host to overnight guests of your own. And while there’s something so exciting about the prospect of getting to open up your home to those closest to you, the task can also prove to be a bit of a hassle — especially when it comes to figuring out the sleeping arrangements.
Sure, you can pop out your handy air mattress and hidden linens, but the benefit to having a comfortable, more permanent sleeping spot is undeniable (probably for both you and your guest). Hence, the allure of the sleeper sofa.
Even if you don’t have an extra bed or unused corner of your home, sleeper sofas are exceptionally useful pieces of furniture because they can transform almost any room into an instant guest room. You can maximize any ordinary living room space with the help of a convertible sofa that doubles as a classic couch or pull-out bed for instant lounging and sleeping.
Ahead, we’ve found the best sleeper sofas to shop on a budget, including convertible couches, sectionals and futons. All of our top-rated picks cost less than $500 and are much more comfortable than an air mattress.
