A sofa bed or sofa-bed is typically a sofa or couch that, underneath its seating cushions, hides a metal frame and thin mattress that can be unfolded or opened up to make a bed. A western-style futon differs from a sofa bed, although sofa beds using futon mattresses are common.

What is a sleeper on a couch?

A sleeper sofa is a sofa with a mattress that pulls out and converts into a bed. The mattress is generally hidden and can either pop out or fold out. The comfort and style of a sleeper sofa will vary, and mattresses can range from inflatable to Tempur-Pedic.

How do you use a sleeper sofa?

Look for a button the side of the sofa that says, “Bed,” or “Sleep Mode” and try pressing it or holding it down. Pull the handle up until it clicks to rotate the bed. Once you've located the handle or lever, press it inwards until you hear a click.
