The five-star reviews of this Latitude Run sofa speak for themselves, and one thing is very clear: This is one comfortable sofa.

Ashley
$499.99

Ashley’s pull-out sleepers are surprisingly easy to convert, but if you want something totally fuss-free, check out the Jarreau sofa chaise. Instead of a mattress, it has one long pull-out cushion that’ll come in handy for both overnight guests and movie night parties. What’s more, at 83” wide, this chaise sectional is still a totally viable option for small apartments.
