FAQs For Sleeper Sofa

1. What is a sleeper sofa?

A sleeper is a sofa or sectional which features a collapsible bed frame inside. When folded up, a sleeper sofa resembles a regular sofa, yet inside the sofa is a pull-out mattress that extends to serve as a bed. As the leading authority on sleeper sofas and sectionals, Jennifer Furniture has the largest variety and best quality of sleeper sofas in the market.

2. How does a sleeper sofa work?

Basically, a sofa should be converted into a bed by pulling out a mattress that's hidden inside to make the sleeper sofa work. This transformation relies on various mechanisms. 

• Pull-out mechanism is the most common type, where you pull a handle or bar to unfold the mattress that's tucked under the cushions.
  
• The Easy-open mechanism is also similar to the pull-out but designed for smoother, lighter operation.
  
• A click-clack mechanism is usually found in futon-style sofas, where the backrest clicks into a flat position and serves as a bed.
  
• Nest and level functions are used in modern designs, where seat cushions slide and drop to form a flat surface with the backrest.

Most sofa mattresses are either innerspring or memory foam mattresses that fold out to provide a bed and fold up when the bed is retracted.

3. What should I consider when choosing a sleeper sofa?

When choosing a sleeper sofa, start with the footprint you would like it to have in the room.

• Figure out the dimensions that you would like it to have and find a sofa or sectional that will fit your space.
  
• Then, decide how you will be using it, whether it is mostly for sitting, if it's for an occasional guest, or for friends or family to stay for a longer period of time.
  
• Is it for kids to have friends stay over, or for parents or grandparents?

These things are all very important to consider, and we have a large variety of sleepers that will be appropriate for each scenario.

4. Can a sleeper sofa be as comfortable as a regular bed?

A sleeper sofa can be almost as comfortable as a regular bed, especially if you choose a high-quality model. Look for one with a memory foam or hybrid mattress, as these offer better support and pressure relief than traditional pull-out styles. Plus, the thickness of the mattress also matters. Check if the sofa bed mattress is at least 5 inches thick to ensure its comfort.

5. How much does a sleeper sofa cost?

Sleeper sofas come in a wide range of prices. A simple, low-end sleeper sofa costs $700 and can go as high as your budget will allow. The average pricing is about 2000$. At Jennifer Furniture, we have sleeper sofas in different types covered in both fabric and leather, and the costs will vary widely depending on the brand, mattress used, and extra features such as USB ports, adjustable headrests, etc.

6. What kind of mattress is used in a sleeper sofa?

Today, modern sleeper sofas come with memory foam or gel memory foam mattresses. At the same time, the traditional sleepers have either an innerspring, memory foam, an air coil, or the most basic futon. Depending on your style and budget, you can find something that fits your choice.

8. What is the difference between a sleeper sofa and a sofa bed?

A sleeper sofa and a sofa bed are the same furniture, which is basically a sofa with a folded mattress inside. You can remove the sofa cushions, pull out the mattress, and use it as a bed. So, people tend to use a sleeper sofa and a sofa bed, but both refer to the same furniture.

9. How much does a sleeper sofa weigh, and how much weight can it hold?

A sleeper sofa weighs between 180 and 250 pounds on average. Larger models like queen or sectional sleepers can weigh up to 300+ pounds depending on the frame material, mattress type, and design. The mattress and folding mechanism add significant weight compared to regular sofas.

In terms of weight capacity, most standard sleeper sofas can support 500 to 600 pounds total, which is enough to support two adults.

10. How can I make a sleeper sofa more comfortable?

One of the simplest ways to upgrade a sleeper sofa is by using a mattress topper, such as memory foam or a soft down alternative which adds cushioning and support 

You can also enhance comfort with structural improvements like a support board between the mattress and frame, or by replacing the built-in mattress entirely for something more plush. Pair it all with quality bedding for an instant comfort boost.
