Ottoman Sleeper
An ottoman sleeper may be the answer you have been looking for if you often have guests to stay over but don’t have a spare bedroom or bed. While fold up beds and sleeping bags have their uses, for the more mature guest they can prove extremely uncomfortable. Ottoman beds on the other hand are well known for being very comfortable and they have the added advantage of providing storage for the bedding so look tidy during the day.

They come in a range of styles, sizes and prices to suit all pockets. As you will be using the ottoman sleeper as a sofa or chair most of the time it is important that it looks good as well as being comfortable to sit on. You might not want to choose a leather version unless you also invest in a microfiber slipcover as you do not want your guests sleeping direct on the leather. For the ultimate luxury feel why not check out your local outlet center and buy some discount quality bedding. The right sheets, a fantastic pillow and perhaps an electric blanket combined with this style of sofa bed may mean that your guests don’t want to leave!
Ottoman sleepers also come in twin sizes so if you regularly have two guests and have the room, you can effectively have a chair that converts into a double bed. They come in a range of different styles so if you don’t fancy black or brown leather you can go for an upholstery version instead.
Usually the ottoman sleeper will convert easily into a bed by simply removing the top and using the handle inside to pull the bed out. If it doesn’t come out relatively easily try applying a little pressure i.e. push downwards and it should spring up. When you unfold the bed, do be sure to secure any locking mechanisms or else you may find your guest in a little trouble during the night! All you have to do is add the bedding and you have a lovely cozy bed.
In the morning it is very simple to store the bed and bedding back inside the Ottoman sleeper leaving your room looking like a living room and not a bedroom any longer. The beauty of the this style of sofa bed is that it fits into tight spaces and doubles up as a seat although it obviously requires enough space to be extended when you want to use it. Some people even use them as a coffee table.
The only real downside to a few of the budget ottoman sleepers is that the mattress can be a little thin but this is easily rectified by investing in a new one. If you want pure luxury go for a memory foam mattress. It is so comfortable you may find yourself making excuses to sleep on the ottoman bed rather than your usual one.
