Let’s face it: As much as we love a good sleeper sofa, there are small spaces where even the most compact sofa bed won’t fit. In those instances, a sleeper chair or stylish ottoman might just be your saving grace. While they may not be comfortable enough to sleep on every night, convertible chairs and ottomans expand quickly and easily, allowing for you to get some shuteye when those late-night Netflix binges take over or for a guest to sleep over in even the smallest of spaces.

But with so many options out there, it can be hard to decipher between the good and the bad — that’s why we’re here to help. We scoured our favorite retailers and rounded up 15 of our favorite picks designed to help you get the most out of your space without breaking the bank. With choices ranging from affordable Wayfair and Walmart finds to some luxe West Elm and Pottery Barn picks, you’re sure to find the perfect sleeper chair for you.

Super budget-friendly, super compact, and super versatile: this convertible sleeper armchair checks all the boxes. We found it on TikTok, where people were mesmerized by its ability to seamlessly transition from a chair, to a recliner, to a bed, all without taking up any more floor space than a regular armchair. It's great for studio apartments and anyone looking to get a lot of functionality for not a lot of money.

For a twin sleeper that's big on design without being big on price, we love the Angelique convertible chair. Featuring a silky velvet finish, it's available in a chic jewel toned hue and can be used as a chair, chaise, or bed. Although some have described it as a sofa, this sleeper measures only 47" wide — just small enough to be considered a chair.
