This “Stealthy” Sleeper Sofa Solved Our Executive Home Director’s Small-Space Design Dilemma
The right piece of furniture can solve multiple design dilemmas. Apartment Therapy Home Director Danielle Blundell had two: She needed extra room for overnight guests, and she wanted to improve the flow of her narrow living room. A small space–friendly sleeper sofa could help with both!
“A stylish sleeper seemed like just the two-in-one I needed for cozy nights watching TV or hanging out — and an extra spot for easy (and comfy!) overnight hosting,” Danielle says. “I wanted something with a bit of a mid-century vibe in low-maintenance (but also good-looking!) material.”
Danielle headed to Bob’s Discount Furniture® to test out her options. Bob’s offers smart furniture solutions designed specifically for small spaces, from apartments and dorms to narrow rooms like hers. With Bob’s modern, stylish designs and everyday low prices, Danielle knew she could find a high-quality and durable sofa that suited her style. Plus, there’s nothing like sofa shopping IRL. Sit before you buy!
“I don’t go shopping without a measuring tape, and my phone is truly my assistant: I keep a list of important measurements and photos of my moodboards and my home’s rooms. It really helps in the moment when I’m trying to decide on fabrics and colors.”

Since Danielle was going to “float” her sofa in the middle of the living room, she needed something that looked great from all angles. At Bob’s, she could take a 360° tour of her options, like the gorgeous russet Bettie Chofa and a sleek yet sumptuous Madeline Berry Accent Chair. She also grabbed some candy — Bob’s has free snacks, including ice cream!
Of course, part of the fun of shopping in-store is discovering fun stuff that isn’t on your list: Danielle also spotted some chic textured throw pillows and tested out an irresistible massaging recliner. From wall art and area rugs to decorative accents and bedding, you never know what will catch your eye at Bob’s!
Finally, Danielle found her furniture match: the Bob-O-Pedic® Cognac Leather Pop-Up Sleeper Sofa. She loved the firmness level, supple 100-percent leather, and warm honeyed hue. And with this sofa, sleep isn’t an afterthought: With a layer of Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam in each cushion, it’s super comfortable for everyday use and overnight guests! It’s also easy to pull out into bed mode — no fighting with springs or folding frames — and a dream fit for Danielle’s narrow room.
“This sofa nails the fabric, color, and function I was looking for — I can’t believe it manages to pack a sleeper into such a small footprint!” Danielle says. “It was so, so easy to transform from sofa to bed and back again, too, which isn’t the case with a lot of sleepers. And it’s a great price for all that you get.”
