If you are looking for a sleeper couch that will only be used for occasional use, a twin-sized mattress is a good choice. This size is also known as an "adult mattress" and is suitable for a majority of people. There are also a few cot-sized sofas that can accommodate one adult or a child.

Be aware that the majority of sleeper sofas come with traditional mattresses, so your normal sheets will be able to fit.

Style

The style of the leather sleeper sofa sofa you select should match your overall living space design.

A majority of these sofas feature an area for storage beneath the seat, which can be used to store pillows and blankets. Although you won't get the same amount of support from a futon style sleeper but you'll save money on the mattress.
