Years ago,Why You Might Need a Sofa Bed For Your Living Room Articles sofa beds were mainly a functional piece of living room furniture. Most designs were plain and not very decorative or stylish. And, they were rarely very comfortable. They were merely a convenient way to provide an additional sleeping space by combining a sofa and a bed into one piece. Today, sofa beds are stylish, beautiful and comfortable. In fact, they are so stylish that your family and guests won't even realize that your sofa turns into a bed!

Advantages of Dual Purpose Furniture

With so many people living in smaller homes and apartments, living space is often at a minimum. For, this reason many consumers are looking for creative ways to maximize their space. The best solution is multi-functional furniture pieces. Pieces that perform "double duty" allow you to use one space for more than one purpose. And, sofa beds are one of the best ways to accomplish that.

Different Styles and Sizes of Sofa Beds

Just like a regular bed, sofa beds come in various styles and sizes. Depending on your particular needs you can choose from a single size sofa bed, full size and a queen size sofa bed. You can also find them in a variety of styles such as traditional, contemporary or modern. You can even find a lot of complete living room sets that feature a sofa bed. No matter what the existing style of your home is, you can find a sofa bed that will compliment your decor.

Is a Sofa Bed Right For You?

Whether or not a sofa bed is right for you can be answered with a few simple questions. Do you live in a small home? Do you frequently have overnight guests? Have you ever had to ask a guest or family member to stay at a motel because you didn't have any where for them to sleep? Or, have you ever had to let someone spend the night on your couch? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need a sofa bed!

Benefits of Sofa Beds

Having a sofa bed offers several different benefits. The most obvious is of course, the addition of extra sleeping accommodations to a small living space. But, even if you are fortunate enough to have a guest room, a sofa bed is great for additional guests. For example, if a couple with a child spends the night, the couple can sleep in the guest room and the child can sleep on the sofa bed.     

Additional Benefits of Sofa Beds

Sofa beds allow you to add sleeping space in places where you could not use an ordinary bed. For example, if you have a home office, a small family room, or even a exercise room, you certainly wouldn't want a traditional bed taking up space. But, a regular size sofa bed, or a love seat sofa bed would give you both seating and sleeping space! And, with so many different designs, you can easily find one that will add beauty to any room.
