How to Choose the Best Sleeper Sofas for 2 People
Shopping for a comfortable sofa bed without doing your homework first is like showing up to a potluck empty-handed. So here's what to think about before you commit to your new slice of furniture heaven.
Size and Dimensions
Size definitely matters when it comes to choosing the best sleeper sofas. For two people, a queen-size sofa bed gives you proper room for a decent stretch, while a double might have you cuddling whether you planned to or not.
Do yourself a favor and grab the measuring tape before you click "buy now". You'll need about 86 inches of clear space in front of your sofa for most queen-size fold-outs.
Comfort Level
Most sofa beds feel like you're sleeping on a pile of springs. Not ours though. We've spent years perfecting our Kloudcell® technology so you're not forced to choose between "back pain" or "neck pain" as your sleeping options.
Don't forget about ample seating, too. The best sleeper sofas balance functions equally well. When you're not hosting your sister-in-law on movie night, you'll be parking your butt on those cushions day in, day out.
The Byron Sofa Bed features the deepest couch cushions in our range, perfect for serious lounging sessions with your morning coffee or late-night Netflix binges.
Sleeper Sofa Mechanism
Nobody wants to work up a sweat wrestling with a stubborn pull-out mechanism while their friends stand around awkwardly holding their overnight bags.
Our sofa beds transform to a regular bed faster than you can say "make yourself at home". The Koala Sofa Bed goes from sitting to a flat surface in seconds. No singing, no dancing, no drama, no problem. And the best bit? No tools required for assembly.
Sofa Frame and Fabrics
The best sleeper sofas should last longer than your latest streaming service obsession. We use FSC®-certified wood and steel mattress frames that can handle everything from Netflix marathons to unexpected relatives showing up during the holidays.
The fabric options? Tough as nails but soft as kittens. Our stain-resistant fabrics laugh in the face of spilled red wine, or whatever your toddler's decided to smear on it this week, then bounce back looking brand new.
Storage Solutions
Finding a sleeper sofa with storage is like discovering your new shorts pockets. The Byron Sofa Bed comes with built-in storage that's perfect for stashing spare pillows or hiding your secret snack stash from the kids.

Why Choose a Comfortable Sleeper Sofa for Two?
Living rooms in America aren't getting any bigger, but our need for multi-functional furniture is.
A quality sofa sleeper is the furniture equivalent of a Swiss Army knife, transforming from a comfortable seating spot to a proper sleep sanctuary faster than you can say "staying the night?"
Here are the reasons you should have a two-seater sleeper sofa in your spare room.
Space-Saving
In today's compact apartments and homes, every square inch counts. A 2-person sleeper sofa eliminates the need for a separate guest bed that sits unused most of the time.
Instead of dedicating a permanent bed to occasional visitors, you get a versatile piece that functions as a sofa and is a comfortable sleeping space day in, day out.
Versatility
When your friends crash after a long night, or the in-laws drop by for the weekend, you'll be everyone’s favorite host.
No more blowing up air mattresses or offering up your own bed while you take the sofa. With a proper sleeper sofa, your overnight guests get a legit sleep spot without you needing a dedicated spare bed.

Corner Magic: Place your main sleeper sofa in the corner. Pair it with a side table or armchair, and you've created a primary seating area that would make any interior designer jealous |
Making Sofa Beds Comfier for Overnight Guests
Just when you thought Koala sleeper sofas couldn't be more comfortable, we're here to inspire Princess and the Pea levels of comfort with these sofa bed hacks.
Here is what you need to make your guests feel so comfortable that they may never leave.
Mattress Toppers
One of the simplest sleeper sofa hacks is adding a memory foam topper. Our Koala sleeper sofas already come with integrated Kloudcell® comfort layers that provide exceptional support and pressure relief. Unlike traditional memory foam mattresses, this proprietary technology gives our sofa beds their signature cloud-like feel, gently supporting your body exactly where it’s needed most.
Pop it on the mattress to add an extra layer of cushioning and softness for a better night's sleep. The beauty of a topper is that you can easily roll it up and store it within your sleeper sofa that features hidden storage compartments.
Luxurious Bedding
Transform your sleeper sofa into a five-star sleep experience with Koala's premium bedding options. Use breathable fabrics that help regulate temperature, which is essential when two bodies generate heat in a shared space.
Keeping Your Sofa Bed In Top Shape
Your multi-talented furniture deserves some love for pulling double duty. With the right care, your sleeper sofa will stay looking great and working smoothly for years to come.
No need for complicated routines or fancy products. Just these simple maintenance hacks will keep your multifunctional furniture in top shape.
-
Vacuum regularly, using low suction to prevent dust and crumb buildup.
-
For sleeper sofas with removable covers, cold machine wash separately and air dry in the shade.
-
Keep your sofa away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
-
Give your sleeper sofa's sleeping surface an occasional airing by unfolding it even when not in use.

Avoid overstuffing storage areas on sleeper sofas with storage.
