Okay let’s talk more about sleeper sofas, shall we? This sofa is created exactly like the IKEA one, except it’s made more for adults and less for college apartments (probably also because of the MASSIVE price difference). This was the standard down we were sitting on (so the firmest one that takes a second to break in) and it was still very comfortable. We were really just huge fans of the fact that it pulls out into a full-sized bed and then also has a storage component so you can store your extra bedding for said bed under the chaise (genius). This is the same sofa collection as the sofa above, just with a slipcover and roll arms. Again it’s got a SUPER classic shape and is VERY comfy (I mean come on, it’s in the name). You really can’t go wrong with this, and we love a slipcover SO MUCH.

You can place the chaise longue section to the left or right of the sofa, and switch whenever you like. Slator, P. et al. 2019.

This is THE sofa that made IKEA the woman she is today. Its wildly affordable price has been something people have loved for years, and if you don’t love the legs you can swap them out very easily through pretty pegs or various Etsy shops (also just realized you can do this with the Morabo sofa above if you’re also unsure about the leg sleeves).

Okay, Interior Define has one very important thing down to a science: comfort. And as they say, comfort is key. If you’re not familiar with Interior Define, their sofas are what they do and they do it well. Jess actually had an Interior Define sofa in her last apartment that was VERY comfortable, so we love them and are excited to review this company. Basically here’s how it works: they have 3 levels of cushion fills: double down (softest), down alternative (medium/soft), and standard down blend (firmest, but still cushy). I liked the down alternative the best, Ajai and Jess were big fans of the double down. The double down they said needs to be fluffed the most, but was SO comfy to the point where you might not want to ever get up (which is a plus for some people). We sit on all of them…so we’ll show ya. The sofa's sections can be combined in different ways to get a size and shape that suits you and your home. Slator, P. et al. 2021.

The 3-seat sofa with chaise longue has storage under the seat where you can store things you want close at hand.
