Question: Sleeper Sofas

Another question came in, this time from Chris:

We’re new to the Boston area and are having a really hard time finding a nice, modern, good quality – sleeper sofa. Do you have any ideas on furniture stores that we should visit?

We found one we like at Crate & Barrel but we were hoping to look at a few other options. We like the Axis and the queen-size Nuevo at C&B (comfy, modern, both about $2500).

Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
Chris

Chris, I know your frustration. There are a ton of great, modern sofas available, but few high quality modern sofa beds. I looked and looked for a suitable modern sofa bed for months, and ended up moving to a larger space before I actually found the right one.

I like the lines of the C&B Axis sofa, but the mattress in the Nuevo sofa is much more comfortable, and is what I would recommend if you’re going to be sleeping on it nightly (disclaimer: I worked at C&B on Boylston St for a while).

Does anyone have a recommendation for other quality sofa beds?

    Go to your local La-Z-Boy Gallery (Natick, Saugus). Lots of options, lots of fabrics to choose from, good prices. They moved the Todd Oldham stuff out of the Gallery stores, which sucks, but that line really didn’t offer sleepers.

    Ligne Roset has a large selection of contemporary sleep sofas. The designs are cutting edge and are both comfortable and stylish. Many of their designs have been around for almost 10 years… which must mean something!
