How to Choose the Best Pull Out Couch
There are a myriad of upholstery fabrics and color choices to think about when selecting a sofa. You must consider your personal preferences for texture as well as how much wear you'd like the couch to take.
This simple, sleek couch transforms from a 2-seater sofa into a queen-sized bed in seconds. The cooling mattress replaces the frame traditional with a more comfortable durable, long-lasting and durable solution.
1. Burrow Shift Sleeper Sofa
Burrow is an online furniture brand that designs modular sofas to fit smaller spaces. The sleeper Sectional with pull out bed Costco comes with a cozy jersey cover and is low to the ground with round wood feet. The chaise lifts up to reveal a sleeping area with a comfortable foam mattress and storage sections for bedding. This model comes in several color choices and can be mixed with other seating options for an individual style. It's easy to order and typically will arrive in a week or less, which is much faster than other furniture companies we've tried.
Some sofa beds require some effort to assemble. The Shift is simple to put together and transforms from a couch to a bed in just 1-2 steps. The only complicated step is to remove the back cushions, tuck the mattress into it and then replace them. The sleeper couch also has an USB plug to charge electronic devices and pockets to store pillows or blankets. The arm cushions can be used as standard pillows. They can be covered with a pillowcase and removed to make space for guests.
The best thing about the Burrow Shift is that it doesn't require a foundation or box spring which makes it easier to move and smaller than other sleeper sofas. The company claims that they have redesigned the pieces to "split into recyclable, manageable boxes" and their modular design will grow with families as they shift from sectionals to loveseats over time.
The Shift sleeper sofa isn't cheap but it is a good choice for those looking for an elegant comfortable, comfy and easy to assemble sleeper. It's covered by a 30-day trial for free, and the company offers 3, 6 or 12 month financing plans starting at the 0% APR.
Although there are other couch-in-a box brands to pick from, we prefer Burrow because they're geared towards speedy delivery and ease of use. The Shift sofa arrives in a variety of boxes labeled with a number of different sizes that can be carried up the stairs and assemble by a typical-sized adult. It's the best option for renters because there's no additional cost for assembly using white gloves and delivery. Other furniture-in-a box companies don't offer this service.
