In modern houses and, especially, apartments, multifunctional furniture is the key to a space-optimizing layout. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, why sacrifice an entire room when you can just look for chairs that turn into beds?

Convertible chairs are one of the best types of dual-use furniture: they allow you to introduce more seating while always being ready to be turned into a bed whenever you have someone over, catering to any situation.

And let's be honest: they look way more stylish than pop-up solutions like air mattresses! In fact, you can even find one that complements your furniture and décor style.

When looking for chairs that turn into beds, start by having an idea as to what type you'd actually like.

For example, you can find them as more casual futons, which rely on a foldable mattress on a wooden or metal frame, or sleeper chairs, which include legs and are much more similar to traditional armchairs.

You also need to decide where you're going to place your convertible chair so that you can measure that exact space. Don't forget to include how long your chosen model will be when it's turned into a bed!

Finally, consider your interior style and your room's palette. That way, you'll be sure to find a chair that complements them rather than one that's undeniably beautiful but looks awfully out of place.

Featuring some tapered legs in a natural wooden finish and being available in several color combinations, this convertible chair is minimalist and versatile. You can opt for a bright throw pillow against neutral upholstery, vice versa, or two neutral hues. Plus, the upholstery is a durable polyester blend that’s easy to care for.
