Whether you're accommodating Thanksgiving guests or your grandchild’s weekend visits, having multipurpose, comfortable furniture for the holidays is essential. After all, the average US home size has decreased by 6% since 2016, highlighting the importance of compact furniture like sleeper sofas.
These unique sofas serve as the ideal holiday solution, combining comfort and functionality for family visits and overnight guests. With the pull of a strap, you can convert your new sofa bed into a full-size, cozy sleeping space.
Read on to learn how this simple investment can make a world of difference for you and your family this holiday season.
What Is a Sleeper Sofa?
The term sleeper sofa, or sofa bed, encapsulates a wide range of furniture pieces that convert directly from a couch to a bed when needed. Compared to traditional futons, sleeper sofas usually have a thicker mattress, sturdier construction, and more innovative pull-out mechanisms, making them the ideal choice for holiday foot traffic.
Sofa beds also come in a variety of shapes and sizes. At SPAZE, we offer:
That way, you can find a functional solution for any room.
Top 10 Reasons a Sleeper Sofa Makes the Holidays Easier
1. Save Money On Multipurpose Furniture
Buying a separate sofa and guest bed is not only an inefficient use of space, but can also cost you well over $5,000. By contrast, a high-quality sofa bed will run you between $750 - $3,000, allowing you to save your money for family gifts and holiday decor.
2. Provide Accommodations In Any Size Home
Trying to host holidays in a studio apartment? No worries! Sleeper sofas make it easy to accommodate multiple family members in tight spaces. Compact chair sleepers—like the Alna Chair Sleeper —can help when your favorite family member is staying over.
Larger, sectional options such as the Bergen Sectional Sofa Bed provide ample storage and sleeping space for several guests—without sacrificing valuable square footage to a dedicated bed.
3. Instant Guest Room, No Rearranging Required
Whether you have extra, last-minute relatives showing up or experience a snow storm that prevents weary travelers from driving home safely, sleeper sofas spare you from stressful rearranging. Forget shuffling around heavy furniture or the frustrating process of trying to blow up an air mattress. Instead, sofa beds provide a comfortable, instant guest room in any living space.
Several SPAZE sofa beds, like the Alure 2-Seat Sofa Bed, also have an easy-to-use Wall Hugger feature that converts the sofa to a bed without needing to move it away from the wall.
4. Keeps Everyone Close to the Festivities
From lounging at the Christmas party to overnight stays, sofa beds allow you to place a cozy sitting and sleeping spot right where the holiday action is. Family members can relax right by the fireplace, near twinkling lights, or next to the Christmas tree—creating a warmth and togetherness that reflects the holiday season. Plus, your family will love you that much more for having a snug spot right next to a coffee table full of festive snacks and sweets.
5. Perfect for Fun Family Sleepovers
Sofa beds can play a key role in delivering the perfect holiday experience for your child, grandchild, niece, or nephew. They provide both a comfortable place to watch festive movies while enjoying a cup of hot cocoa, and a snuggly sleeping spot after a long day of opening up gifts.
Kids love the novelty of unfolding the sofa into their own “holiday fort,” complete with blankets, pillows, and maybe even a string of twinkling lights. It's a simple way to get them excited about their holiday experience at your home each and every year.
6. Simplifies Hosting Out-of-Town Guests
Family isn't always close-by, and when your far-away relatives need a little support in order to make visiting work, sleeper sofas provide a cost-effective solution. You'll have a flexible sleeping space ready for them, so they don't have to spend extra money on hotels.
7. Ideal for Post-Dinner Relaxation
After the drowsiness from consuming copious amounts of turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, or cookies sets in, family members want a place to lounge comfortably and relax. Sofa beds provide a place to both eat and unwind, allowing guests to chat or enjoy the game comfortably at any holiday event. And, if they stay too long, the bed is ready for them.
8. Easy to Refresh Between Visits
SPAZE sofa beds are upholstered with fully stain-resistant fabric—passing the Martindale durability test with a score of at least 30,000 rubs. Whether you have a dark gray sofa bed or a yellow one, this durability makes it easy to tidy up between post-Thanksgiving crumbs and Christmas Eve spills. Simply vacuum, fluff cushions, and blot spills with gentle cleaner, and you're guest-ready again—no stress, no mess.
9. Complements Every Holiday Decor Theme
Regardless of your home's current color scheme and aesthetic, SPAZE offers a variety of sleeper sofa colors that perfectly blend with festive decor. Choose a neutral dark or light gray sofa to pair with vibrant holiday throws and pillows. Or, an emerald green sectional that perfectly captures that piney, winter wonderland feel. We have it all!
10. Makes Every Guest Feel Welcome
The holidays are all about connection and comfort, especially with family members. By investing in a high-quality sleeper sofa, you're letting everyone know that they're welcome in your home. Everyone, including yourself, will have peace of mind knowing there's a soft, easy-to-setup place to land after the day’s celebrations.
