Living in a small space requires some intuitive furniture shopping, especially when it comes to decking out a living room. One of the best pieces to invest in? A sleeper sofa. Now, we’ve covered the best sleeper sofas in the past, but what about sleepers specifically made with small spaces in mind? We’re talking sofas that fold back futon-style, or ones that open up into Twin, Full, or even Queen-sized beds — whatever it takes to leave as small a footprint as possible in tight quarters while still keeping overnight visitors happy.

If budget is your main concern, you'll love this sofa, which has a split back that folds down into a full-size bed. The entire length of the sofa is 77" (with 71" dedicated to sleeping), and it comes in six neutral colors that can complement a fun throw pillow collection. Bonus: The cushions are made from a combo of coils and foam, making a comfy space for guests — or your next Netflix binge.

The Odelle queen sleeper maintains a fairly compact size, measuring 80 inches long, but it still seats three comfortably. The material is stain-resistant and the plush cushions make for comfortable sitting. When it's time to catch some z's, the couch transitions to a cozy queen size mattress.

You'll want to read, sleep, and just lounge around in your robe on this convertible loveseat. By day it's a soft, velvet couch, but when you really want to unwind, just a few steps reveals a cozy futon for yourself or a guest. The headrest has three adjustable positions and the couch comes in classic gray or a vibrant blue.

Anthropologie
$2398.00

Though the Katina sleeper sofa actually pulls out to a queen size mattress, the sofa itself is so cozy you just might fall asleep on it. The cushions are plush and make you want to melt right into them. Also, the material is quite practical, with the cushions being removable and reversible.

Some sleeper sofas look like sleepers, which some people may not always love. But for a modern style that's also multifunctional, the Novogratz futon is a winner. The back cushions are tufted and whether you choose black, emerald green, or ivory, the velvet material looks luxe. Easily adjust the back between its three positions; sitting, lounging, or sleeping.

Wayfair

This highly reviewed option from Wayfair folds down into a bed for overnight guests. With smooth faux leather upholstery and no armrests, your guests will have no trouble sleeping — especially if you add some comfy throw pillows and a fuzzy blanket for good measure.

Walmart
$299.00
was $347.00

Futons may be a staple of post-grad life, but there's a good reason for it: They're great for small spaces. Since they're folded down to create a bed instead of opened up, they're both easy to use and take up very little space. This option found on Walmart is budget-friendly and versatile with a split-back construction. It comes in a vibrant rust orange, as well as more neutral grey and navy colors.

West Elm
$1614.15
was $2199.00

Not quite a sofa, not quite a chair, this option from West Elm is an attractive compromise designed for small spaces. Not only is it the perfect reading chair (you could easily curl up here comfortably for hours), but it opens up into a gel-constructed Twin-sized mattress. Choose from dozens of upholstery options to truly make it your own.

Walmart
$300.00
was $459.99

Futons may be a staple of post-grad life, but there's a good reason for it: They're great for small spaces. Since they fold down (rather than open up) to create a bed, they're easy to use and take up very little space. This option from Walmart is budget friendly and versatile with a split-back construction. It comes in 12 colors, including this gorgeous mustard hue.

Pottery Barn
$1439.00
was $1599.00

Compact but full of style, the total width of this Pottery Barn sofa is just 56" wide, with a memory foam mattress that comes in at 36". That's why it's the perfect size for studios and guest rooms, and since it's Pottery Barn, you'll get tons of fabric and color options (and regular sales).

$246.69
was $825.00

Elegant and ideal for small spaces, the Novogratz Brittany Convertible Sofa has a streamlined profile that folds down into a Full bed. The tufted cushions are an eye-catching detail, and there are eight colors available, ranging from light grey to persimmon orange to mustard yellow. At just a little under $400, it's a major steal that will add character to your space.

Crate & Barrel
$1599.00
was $1999.00

Good luck ever leaving this "chair and a half" from Crate & Barrel. With its deep cushion, soft slipcover, and cottage-inspired style, this pick screams cozy and will be a hit amongst overnight guests. Plus, it opens up to a long 91", so even though it's a Twin width, you'll be able to accommodate tall guests with ease.

Birch Lane
$2100.00

Traditional and inviting, this classic sleeper sofa from Birch Lane is totally customizable with over 48 stunning upholstery options to choose from. The rounded arms and pleated skirt give this sleeper a bit of an old-fashioned feel, but you can easily bring it into 2022 with some patterned throws and a bright rug. The Full-size bed pulls out, and the back cushions are removable in case they get in the way.

Interior Define
$2145.00

We're big fans of the full-sized sofas that Interior Design has to offer, but the Twin Sloan is the one you want for smaller spaces. The biggest draw for Interior Define is the freedom to customize — you choose everything from the fabric to the colors to the legs, with the option to receive up to five swatches so you can be sure you're making the right choice.

Raymour & Flanigan
$2899.00

Featuring a premium foam mattress and an easy-to-use pullout mechanism, this American Leather sleeper sofa is comfortable as it is elegant. The sloped arms and classic design make it a piece you will love to look at throughout the day as much as your guests will enjoy sleeping on it at night.

$728.98

This Ashley Furniture sleeper sofa is budget-friendly and packs a lot of punch in a small space. Super plush with chic, contemporary feel, this couch turns into a twin bed, making it the perfect addition to apartments or home offices that double as guest rooms.
