Tips for Buying a Sleeper Couch

A sleeper couch is one of the most versatile and hard-working pieces of furniture you could own. The sleeper couch has come a long way from being the insomnia-inducing, uncomfortable couch it used to be. There are some quality sleepers available that are as comfortable as a regular bed.

Before you purchase your sleeper couch, remember that it will mostly be used for sitting, so make sure to look for the same features as a regular couch.

Hardwood Frame

Kiln-dried hardwood or a combination of kiln-dried hardwood and furniture-grade plywood are the strongest and most durable wood to use on couch frames.

Click Clack Mechanism

There are various types of sleeper Mechanisms available but the most popular at the moment is the click clack.

The name for this opening mechanism comes from the clicking and clacking sounds that the locking function makes when you convert the couch into a sleeper and back. To convert, just fold the back forwards until you hear the click. Then, fold it back until it lays flat.

This is a very easy design that you can quickly and safely convert into a couch. Make sure the mechanism clicks back into place, letting you know that it’s locked. From this point on, the seat won’t slip from its position.

Always check that the wheels, hinges and screws are of high quality that won’t break easily. Good mechanisms should open and close smoothly without any squeaks or bumps.

Test It

It is recommended to test a sleeper couch before you buy it. Sleeper couches should be easy to operate, open and close it, lie and sit on it, see how it feels.

Measure It

Before you purchase your sleeper couch make sure you’ve measured the space that it will go into. Don’t forget to get the measurements of the sleeper couch, as it takes up the same space as a bed when fully open.
