Apartment dwellers, rejoice! Gone are the days when a sofa bed meant yanking some ridiculously heavy bed frame out of the pits of an uncomfortable sofa - and good riddance. These days, far more user-friendly concepts like the day bed and futon are getting modern makeover from the likes of Design Within Reach, Urban Outfitters and even my fave place for inexpensive finds—World Market! These sleek pieces will give you extra seating and a comfy place for guests to rest their heads.
Check out my slideshow for eight convertible sofa beds that’ll give your apartment smart 2-for-1 style!
