A small pull-out couch is a practical way to make guests feel comfortably in a small area. These sofas are also referred to as sleeper sofas and are converted from a seat for the day to a twin-sized bed. Most models have a real mattress that can be turned over for sleeping when the cushions are removed and a handle or bar is pulled. Some models have locks to open the mattress, while the more expensive models employ an electric mechanism that extends the bed. Sleeper sofas are available in large and small sizes but take up more room when they are open.
