Sofa beds have long been used as instruments of torture. They were reserved for guests who you really do not like visiting and for your loved one when he or she made you angry. Okay, enough with the joking. It is true that the sofa bed choices of the past were extremely uncomfortable. The mattresses were thin and the supporting rails beneath the mattress would burrow into your back. Were they comfortable beds? They were absolutely not.

Well friend, times have changed and today the sofa bed is not only quite comfortable it is also quite fashionable. They are much better for your comfort than futons and the bedding is an accent rather than the necessary padding that was required in the past. You can find these new sofa beds in either twin or double bed sizes. The difference is all in the size of the sofa or chair.

One of the greatest inventions of late is the oversize chair. Many oversized chairs now fold out into twin beds. The outside of the bed is very comfortable and can accommodate up to two people, yet the oversize chair is actually meant to be a single seating situation. Instead of a full sized sofa, many people are opting to purchase two of these chairs to accommodate their overnight guests. What is unique is that when guests come over they are treated to a great night’s sleep on twin beds that have thick mattresses and are actually very comfortable.

The added bonus of an oversize sleeper chair is that it does not take up as much room as a full sized sleeper sofa. It is also easier to move than the traditional full size sleeper sofa and can stand up to more weight in the center of the mattress. It has much more support and with its beautifully plush exterior it is a bonus to have in any living room, guest room or den.

The sofa bed of the past is ancient history. New sofa beds are extremely comfortable and luxurious. Plus you have the additional knowledge that you can place one anywhere you would normally put a sofa or a chair. You do not have to have an extra room in your house devoted solely to guests. With today’s downsizing market in housing that is an incredible bonus. People just do not have those extra rooms anymore, yet still need a place to accommodate guests for the night. Go ahead and try one out. You will not be disappointed.
