A sofa bed is a bummer to splurge on, but you’re in luck, because there are options under $500 available. A lot of sofa beds in this low price range have poor reviews when it comes to comfort for sleep, but we’ve found some that really hit the mark.
A traditional sofa bed is a couch that can be converted into a bed, but the term is often used interchangeably with futons and sleeper sofas (sofas that have a hidden mattress). Futons simply fold out into a bed, and are easier to find in the under $500 price range. So we’ve found both sofa beds and futons that fit the bill.
If you have an upcoming overnight guest, it’s time to invest in a sofa bed for your space. You can even up any sofa bed’s comfort game by adding a mattress topper. Some sofa beds convert into chaise lounges or have special features like USB ports.
Below, shop the best sofa beds under $500 from Wayfair, Urban Outfitters, Amazon and more to add to your living room.
