Promising review: "This couch is PERFECT for our play room. It was easy to set up. Its small-ish, meaning its not overbearing. It doesn’t take up much space. It folds down for an 'emergency sleepover.' I love love love this sofa. And the orange color is so fun!!!" —Cori

Get it from Amazon for $329.99+ (available in two styles and nine colors).

Promising review: "Goldilocks, this one is just right! Just what we needed as a spare sleeping space in a home office. Looks nice and is comfy for sitting and for sleeping. Very smooth adjusting from seating to flat space. Fabric is soft and seems quite durable." —Kimberly G.

Get it from Raymour & Flanigan for $623.96 (originally $779.95; available in three colors).

Promising review: "This is a solid choice couch for a first apartment! I'm a young professional female who lives alone (no pets or kids), and so this is the perfect couch for me! It is kind of tough to put together by yourself, but I did it alone in about an hour. A second pair of hands would have made it go faster. I have had guests sleep on it and say it's fine. I love how easy it is to pull out and set up. It is definitely on the harder side but has gotten cushier with use." —M

Get it from Amazon for $445.30+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "We had this sofa bed for two weeks. It is comfortable and gives me good support. Very sturdy even for 3–4 people sitting on it. The armrest design is pretty good, like the back seat cup holder in my car. When you fold it into the sofa, the whole family can sit on it watching TV. I use it for sofa most of the time, but occasionally when guests are coming, I have a choice of letting them sleep on this sofa bed instead on the carpet. I didn't choose fabric material because I think leather is easy to clean if we accidentally split drinks on it. So far so good." —Lu

Get it from Amazon for $199.99

Promising review: "Exactly what we needed. We were looking for a lightweight futon type couch for our RV. This was perfect. It was small enough to fit two and it didn’t add a lot of extra weight. It also seems quite comfortable for sleeping." —Abby

Get it from Wayfair for $209.82+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I've had this couch for about three weeks and I LOVE IT! I was pretty hesitant about this considering it was cheaper than most I had found elsewhere. Many people are surprised I bought this from Walmart. I bought the blue velvet couch. The color is exactly what I wanted and true to the advertisement. I don't think it's too firm at all. I am usually laid out with a pillow and blanket to watch TV and I find it comfortable. My daughter and I both slept on this last night and it was fine." —Bailey

Get it from Walmart for $238.80 (originally $425; available in four colors).

Promising review: "I love this couch so much. It folds in half so moving will be so much easier, plus the armrests have their own storage space within the couch! The back can be upright, in a lounge position, or laying all the way down. It’s super easy to change the positions, just remember to pull out the fold-in legs for the laying down position and you’ll need to pull it away from the wall and push it back to adjust each position. The couch is super soft so it’s nice for those with sensory needs. It’s firm but it’s memory foam so it’s also soft and comfy. The size is perfect for me. I went from a huge sectional to this and I’m completely satisfied. Fits three people comfortably. I kept my ottoman so that helps with lounging. My daughter got pizza sauce on it yesterday and it cleaned right up with water. Overall, this couch is awesome and I would recommend it!" —Chelsez

Get it from Target for $579.99 or Novogratz for $509 (originally $599; available in four colors).

Promising review: "The Solna is exactly what I hoped for! I needed a stylish sofa for my office that could also accommodate visitors. It’s comfy for my daytime use and the bed is not only discreet but comfortable and easy to set up. My third Article couch and also my most comfortable!" —Holly S.

Get it from Article for $1,399.

Promising review: "This couch was super easy to put together, it took less than 20 minutes. I love the color and it fits perfect into the space I bought it for. There is only one problem, my cats love it just as much as I do." —TheRose321

Get it from Amazon for $259 (available in velvet or teddy fabric and 13 colors).

Promising review: "Love this! I needed an extra piece of furniture that would be functional and comfortable for our guest room and also be a space saver. In the past other futons have been a hassle to change from couch to bed, and the mattress was too heavy and would constantly shift. THIS ONE IS PERFECT!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $336.75 (available in four colors).

Nouhaus is a small business looking to combine functionality with aesthetic furniture pieces.

My colleague Amanda Davis loves this sofa:

"I recently received this sofa and as a person who came from a very old and lumpy sectional and has a bad back, this ergonomic sofa is honestly heaven-sent. As for comfort, the back is suuuuper soft and comfortable, but the bottom is a bit more firm to my liking. And for style...ummmm just look at it! I’m obsessed with the blue velvet texture and the wooden legs look very high-end. I’ve even had numerous friends tell me how it 'really elevated' my space (the *biggest* compliment if you’re someone that loves anything home-decor related like me). And lastly: the full-size pull-out bed, my best friend’s favorite part about my couch upgrade. She says it’s comfy to sleep on all night (it even has two stability legs so it doesn’t tip over). It’s perfect if you’re someone who has a lot of guests staying over, but live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment (the struggle). It’s a chunk of change, but I’d say very very worth the investment. I can tell this couch will last me years to come."

Get it from Amazon (available in two styles and four colors) or Nouhaus for $1,799.99 (originally $1,899.99; available in 10 styles/colors).

Promising review: "This was very easy to assemble, and I did it myself. I chose the brown, and it's a nice chocolatey brown. I had a daybed in my tiny guest room that just swallowed the whole room, so I got rid of it for this futon lounge. The futon is a smaller profile, and even when folded down all the way, it still takes up less floor space than that daybed, yet can easily and comfortably sleep an adult. My photo doesn't do it justice. It's a richer brown than what my photo shows. And I appreciate the sturdiness of the metal frame and secure footing." —Marcy DP

Get it from Amazon for $357+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I love this! I live in a small one-bedroom apartment, so I wanted a couch that could turn into a bed for guests. I couldn't have picked a better/cheaper option. I feel so good about this purchase! It's firm but comfortable. The back is adjustable, and the great thing is it looks like it's worth hundreds of dollars! If you're debating on going with this one, GO FOR IT!" —jackie

Get it from Amazon for $182+ (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "This was a great economical replacement for our old couch. We really wanted to save space because our last piece was way too large. This completely met our expectations. Very easy to assemble and I find it comfortable to lay on. One of my best purchases ever." —BkAllDay

Get it from Amazon for $169.34+ (available in colors tan or gray).
