Roundup: Twin Sleeper Sofas

The Vincent Twin Sleeper from CB2 — more pics below!

Everyone is always asking about the Best Sleeper Sofas. We have a Troy Twin Sleeper Sofa in our tiny living room — in addition to providing seating for two, its small size lets us use it to divide the narrow room into two distinct living areas. Twin Sleepers are great multi-functional furniture pieces for small spaces and we've rounded up 5 basic models &mash; perfect for seating and a guest bed for one...

Also referred to as "chairs and a half," these smaller loveseat-size sofas convert to twin-sized beds for guests:

• 1 The new Vincent Twin Sleeper from CB2 has interesting sloped arms, giving it a modern appeal. It is $1,099.

• 2 For a super-budget option, the Kendrick Sleeper Chair and a Half is only $399 from Cost Plus World Market.

• 3 The Willow Twin Sleeper is part of Crate & Barrel's Eco-Friendly line of furniture. It is $1,499.

• 4 The very basic and benign Troy Twin Sleeper is $999 from Crate & Barrel.

• 5 The Dublin Twin Sleeper from Room & Board is $1,499.

If these models aren't to your liking, Crate & Barrel and Room & Board both have additional twin-sleeper options. Let us know your favorite in the comments!

They all look the same - so dull and boxy...

I love mine, the Alexa chair-and-a-half sleeper from Mitchell Gold Bob Williams. It is a super-comfy chair and I've received no complaints from grouchy guests. It is huge, though.

I have the Lycksell (or however you spell it) from IKEA, which I bought less than a year ago. I had a custom cover made for it out of Marimekko fabric and it's just beautiful. I'm so sad to be selling it when I move next month :(

I love my Jennifer Convertible Softee couch. It's not a twin sleeper, but it's pretty small. I like the look and it was $299. Can't beat that. The bed part isn't the most comfortable ever, but what sofa bed is really?

Here are a few other options: Ballard Designs, Grandin Road and Neiman Marcus. (Yes, I know that last one is expensive.)

Does anyone know who manufactures the Vincent Twin for CB2? I'm trying to get a better idea what the pullout frame looks like. None of the sample pics show the frame which is troublesome.
