In some households, overnight guests are usually resigned to the couch when sleeping. But the idea of “sleeping on the couch” has evolved over the years.

A day bed, for instance, is a better option than the traditional sofa. Many homeowners purchase this because of the practical use for it. During the day, it can be used as a seating area, or for power napping. And when night time comes, it’s turned into a guest bed.

Folding mattresses are also fast becoming the choice because of its space saving solution. Most folding mattresses are thick enough, so sleeping is not bad on the back. And you would have little problem finding storage.

With so many options these days, we find items are better designed, not only aesthetically but in terms of comfort and functionality.
