Convertible Sofa Bed: Magic For Small Rooms

Making a small room look bigger requires a special sort of magic wand. It's not the kind you'd use to turn a frog into a prince, but it can turn a small, one-bedroom apartment into a two-bedroom apartment just like magic. The magic wand, in this instance, isn't a stick of wood, but a convertible sofa bed. By day it's an attractive place to sit and by night, a great bed where you or your guests can get a restful night's sleep.

Today's convertibles are vastly improved over the old fashioned, clunky styled sleepers that I grew up with. Those weighed about a ton and always sank in the middle when in couch form. If you folded them out, you got a lumpy mattress and no real support. Waking up after a night on one of those was like the morning after a night spent in a torture chamber. The new sleepers, however, are changing the way we think about using a convertible sofa bed as part of a smaller home's decor.

To begin with, today's sleepers look good. They are not rigidly styled and designed primary to disguise the fact that they hide a bed. Instead, they look very much like any of the great sofas you see on a showroom floor. In fact, if it weren't for the tag identifying them as convertible, you'd probably not be able to spot them without a very keen eye. Among the improvements made to today's sleepers are more attractive "couch" styling and a much more comfortable mattress for sleeping. They're lighter, too and that's a big plus if you have to move your own furniture around.

So, add a sleeper and you'll have that spare bedroom when you need it. Then, when you don't, it's invisible. I guess it is almost like magic after all.
