At ARV Furniture, we understand that choosing between a sofa bed and a sleeper sofa can be confusing. Here’s a clear breakdown to help you make the right choice for your space:
✅ SOFA BED
Mechanism: The back of the sofa folds down to create a flat sleeping surface—no separate mattress.
Design: Often a “click-clack” or futon-style design.
Comfort Level: Firm sleeping surface since you sleep directly on the cushions.
Best For: Small spaces, studios, and casual overnight guests.
Popular Materials at ARV: Fabric, faux leather, chenille.
✅ SLEEPER SOFA
Mechanism: Contains a hidden, pull-out mattress inside the frame.
Design: Looks like a standard sofa but converts into a full bed with a real mattress.
Comfort Level: Higher—more mattress-like feel.
Best For: Regular guests or everyday sleeping.
Popular Styles at ARV: Queen or double sleeper sectionals, adjustable headrest options.
