Chair Bed - Extra Sleeping Space for Guests

Make a Chair Do Extra Service as a Guest Bed
Many homes don't have the luxury of keeping a guest room that does nothing most of the time. Other rooms in the home can double up to serve as a guest room when needed. Just add a cushy chair that converts into a bed when needed. There are a number of variations on this, where the chair unfolds to make a single bed.
Since I live in Central Florida, I can expect guests at least a few times each winter. Having an extra bed sure comes in handy. Here are some of the options for a chair bed (a chair that transforms into a bed).
I've provided a range of sleeper chairs below. Take a look to see which one fits your needs. Some work better for a child's room and convert into a bed for sleep-overs. Others will work for an adult visitor.

Finding an Extra Bed for a Guest
Some of the options
- 1There are air mattresses that you can deflate and store away after the guests leave.
- 2Sleep sofas have been around for ages, but there may not be room for one. They tend to not be that comfortable as a sofa or as a bed.
- 3Another option that looks great, but is quite an investment, is a murphy bed that hides away in a cabinet or behind a sliding bookshelf.
- 4A roll-away bed usually has a metal frame that folds up. It can be wheeled away to a closet or the garage.

Bedding for the Twin Bed (sleeping chair)
You'll need a sheet set for the guest's twin bed, a blanket and maybe a comforter. The bed-in-a-bag provides all of these in one batch.
I like to put a memory foam mattress topper on my guest beds to ensure a comfy night's sleep for my guests. It rolls up and can be stored in a closet or where you keep seasonal items.

- My hubby asked my last weekend to offer our chair bed in case some of guests in their member like to. Another well done post!

- We live in Florida too, so guests are a sure thing. We have a roll-away, but it's not very comfortable. The bracing underneath can be felt when you sleep on it. I would absolutely LOVE to have a chair that unfolds into a bed like the ones you have on this page.

- I have an air mattress, but these chair beds look great. Best of all they don't take up much room.

- These are so great to have especially if you live in small space. I have been wanting to get one myself for a while now. Blessed by the SquidAngel of Furniture. You are now featured on Home and Garden SquidAngel.
