The slouchy old sofas of your dorm-room days have no place in your current space. There's an impressive array of style-forward futons available now, and some of these seats may not even look convertible at first glance — which makes them all the more appealing.
The main thing to consider is where and how you will be using your futon. Their smaller size and convenient convertibility make them more appropriate for placement in a spare room as opposed to serving as your main living room seat. Even the comfiest futons may be a bit firmer than a regular sofa because they tend not to have removable, foam-and-spring-filled seat cushions.
Also, these are not sleeper sofas with hidden mattresses tucked inside the frames — futons have much simpler hinge mechanisms that can turn an upright seat into a flat, horizontal one. And for this reason, they may not be appropriate for accommodating more than one adult-sized sleeper at a time.
These petite seats are ideal for occasional hosts to provide additional sitting and sleeping room for their guests. And even when not in use, they complete a space beautifully with their crisp tailoring, soft upholstery, and cheery colors. Here are 10 extra-stylish futons and convertible sofas that can easily turn into a bed at a moment's notice.

When we think of the perfect futon, this is the image that comes into our mind. It is the ideal blend of form and function: rounded angles, pristine tufting, and contrasting mid-century-modern style legs.
This polyester sofa is roughly twin-sized when folded down into bed form, making a nice sleep spot for just one guest.
This cute, minty-colored sofa may not look at first glance like it has any convertible abilities, but in fact, its back folds down in two sections!
Reviewers adore the unique and elegant look of this one, along with its luxe velvet upholstery. The bed is pretty firm, but it'll be a good fallback option to have at home if you need it.
While slightly pricey, Coddle's Toggle Convertible Couch is unique in that it can fold into numerous configurations for sleeping or lounging. Even better: Beneath its quilted cushions, it has four layers of memory foam that make it much more comfortable.
Though the couch doesn't have armrests, the ends of the seat can be angled to tilt up at a 60-degree angle to provide added neck support while lying down. It also comes with two charging ports on either side of the couch.

The Futon Chair
Etta Avenue Teen Clarissa Twin Pillow Back Futon Chair
Small-space dwellers no longer have to send their guests packing for the night, because this one-seater easily converts into a single sleeper.
This chair's bottom cushion unfurls to extend into a slim, twin-sized bed, and the back can be adjusted to lay flat or recline in four different positions — including a chaise lounge! We also like that it comes with a generously sized throw pillow.
This budget pick doesn't skimp on sophistication. Its simple, mid-century-modern-inspired silhouette makes for a decor piece that's classic, versatile, and easily convertible into an overnight, twin-sized sleeper.
Users also love how easy the upholstery is to clean, although it's worth noting that this one is pretty short in length.
This firm, linen-upholstered futon gets top marks from reviewers who love its high-quality look, heavy-duty build, and easy assembly.
The fluted sofa back and curved silhouette make it look less rigid than other mid-century-styled seats, and it folds down to become a bed that's just a bit wider than a twin.
This faux-leather futon from the Walmart-exclusive Queer Eye collection is not only a great deal for a new sofa, but it looks gorgeous in any space, too.
The back of the sofa hinges down to lie completely flat, turning the seat into an approximate twin XL-sized bed.
This made-to-order futon allows you to match your seating exactly to your (or your teen's) space. Choose from seven different colors in the material that you want: chenille, canvas, twill, or velvet.
At 71x45 inches when reclined, this futon bed is slightly shorter than a twin-sized mattress, but its width is right in between twin and full bed sizes.
This retro-chic, two-seater futon from Better Homes & Gardens' furniture collection elevates a space with its velvet upholstery. Its split back cushions recline to become a temporary, near-full-sized sleeping space. It's a reviewer favorite for its soft feel and easy assembly.
Hosting overnight guests is no longer a hassle with this heathered gray futon. Its button-tufting is supremely plushy, which is a useful quality once the wood frame is reclined to convert the unit into a comfy near-full-sized bed.
