We've covered the best sleeper sofas in the past, but what about sleepers specifically made for small spaces? We're talking sofas that fold back futon-style, or ones that open up into full or even twin sized beds—whatever it takes to leave as small a footprint as possible in tight quarters while still keeping overnight visitors happy. Whether you live in a tiny studio or just don't want a large sofa, we've found the best small space sleepers of your (and your guests') dreams.

Wayfair

If budget is your main concern, you'll love this sofa, which has a split back that folds down into a full-size bed. The entire length of the sofa is 77 in., with 71 in. for sleeping, and it comes in six neutral colors that can complement a fun throw pillow collection. Plus, the cushions are made of a combo of coils and foam, making a comfy space for guests—or your next Netflix binge.

AllModern

Elegant and ideal for small spaces, the Novogratz Brittany Convertible Sofa has a streamlined profile with a total width of 81.5 in. and folds down into a full-size bed. The tufted cushions are an eye-catching detail, and there are eight colors ranging from light grey to persimmon orange to mustard yellow. At under $500, it's a major steal that will add some character to your space.

Walmart

Futons may be a staple of post-grad life, but there's a good reason for it: They're great for small spaces. Since they're folded down to create a bed instead of opened up, they're both easy to use and take up very little space. This option found on Walmart is budget-friendly and versatile with a split back construction. It comes in a vibrant rust orange, as well as more neutral grey and navy colors.

Urban Outfitters

Urban knows how to furnish small spaces, as evidenced by this adorable yet totally functional sleeper sofa. Use it as a comfortable, colorful loveseat during the day (choose from six distinctive color options) and open it out into an almost full-size bed for guests at night. Unfussy, lightweight, and compact, it checks all the boxes—and looks good, too.

Urban Outfitters

Another great find from Urban, this highly-reviewed option folds down into an almost full sized bed (43 in. wide) for overnight guests. With smooth leather upholstery and no armrests, your guests will have no trouble sleeping—especially if you add some comfy throw pillows and a fuzzy blanket for good measure.

Birch Lane

Traditional and inviting, this classic sleeper sofa from Birch Lane is totally customizable with over 130 upholstery options to choose from. The rounded arms and pleated skirt give this sleeper a bit of an old-fashioned feel, but you can easily bring it back to 2019 with some patterned throws and a bright rug. The full-size bed pulls out, and the back cushions are removable in case they get in the way.

Pottery Barn

Compact but full of style, the total width of this Pottery Barn sofa is just 56 in. with the memory foam mattress coming in at 36 in., making it the perfect size for studios and guest rooms. Since it's Pottery Barn, you'll get tons of fabric and color options (and regular sales).

West Elm

Not quite a sofa, not quite a chair, this option from West Elm is an attractive compromise designed for small spaces. Not only is it the perfect reading chair (you could easily curl up here comfortably for hours), but it opens out into a memory foam-constructed twin sized mattress. Choose from dozens of upholstery options to truly make it your own.

Crate & Barrel

Good luck ever leaving this "chair and a half" from Crate & Barrel. With its deep cushion, soft slipcover, and cottage style, this pick screams cozy and will be a hit amongst overnight guests. Plus, it opens up to a long 91 in., so even though it's a twin width you'll be able to accommodate your tall guests with ease.

Interior Define

We included the regular Sloan Sleeper on our Best List of Sleeper Sofas, but the Twin Sloan is the one you want for smaller spaces. The biggest draw for Interior Define is the freedom to customize—you choose everything from the fabric to the colors to the legs, with the option to be sent up to five swatches so you can be sure you're making the right choice.
