Finnish designer Harri Koskinen has designed tableware, textiles, furniture, audio equipment, glassware and underwear. When I met him in his Helsinki studio space last week — I was most interested in his Sofabed, a design he launched at the Milan fair earlier this year. More
Designer Jeffrey Bernett has worked with Design Within Reach before — he's the designer behind their popular and oh-so-slim Flight Recliner. Bernett's newest design for DWR is the Soto family of upholstered seating which includes a sleeper sofa, sleeper chair and storage ottoman. The Sleeper Sofa is a meticulously designed sofa bed that is one of the best we've seen and experienced. More
MANSTAD packs a lot of punch — it's a (1) small scale sectional sofa that's also a (2) bed and (3) storage. While there are options for sectionals with built in beds, few are this small, this inexpensive and few are designed to take advantage of the full footprint. More
The Twilight Sleep Sofa from Design Within Reach shows up fairly regularly in our Scavenger posts and is a popular solution for Apartment Therapy readers furnishing a modern space. Designed for occasional use as a sleeper, Twilight has a bare-bones design — a minimal platform, 2 stacked cushions and a large adjustable bolster. More
In my weekly pursuit of finding a great sleeper sofa, it is impossible to ignore the varied options from IKEA. With a price point under $1,000 the TYLOSAND sofa bed is one of IKEA's more popular options and is part of a larger TYLOSAND family of seating. I played around with a floor model at the Red Hook IKEA for this report. More
This sofa sleeper from French company Ligne Roset is brand new for 2009 — I got to see it in person after it was delivered to the Park Avenue South showroom and I was very impressed. Unassuming in presence, I wasn't even aware it WAS a sleeper sofa at first — until a pull on the back cushion started the smooth transformation from sofa to bed. More
Earlier this year, Dwell Magazine asked me to review an assortment of modern sofa beds, and my sleeper sofa opinions are in the September issue. Mind you, I was not responsible for choosing the sofas, only for reviewing them, but they included great ones, most of which are on my most recent list — Best Sleeper Sofas & Sofa Beds 2009. More

I've been updating my list of best sleeper sofas each year for about four years now, and things have usually changed slowly. This past year, however, things changed a good deal and I have a bunch of new entrants to the field. Enjoy! More
ATDC reader Nia needs help finding a sofa for her Virginia home: Dear AT, I am in the process of decorating my living room and office, in a house that we bought a year ago but were too busy to spend time on. I want to put a sleeper sofa in the office and I really like Blu Dot's One Night Stand sleeper. There is only one unique furniture store in town but they have no modern sleepers even close to Blu Dot. Any ideas that preferably would keep the bill under $900? By the way I live in SW Virginia and the closest metro areas are DC and North Carolina's Triangle.Thanks for your help, Nia
