From classic sofa beds to modern wall beds, these space-saving solutions are perfect for guest rooms, studios, and multipurpose spaces. This guide covers everything you need to know to choose the right one.
Types of Hideabeds
Sofa Beds & Sleeper Sofas
The most popular hideabed type. A sofa by day, a bed by night. Available in various sizes (twin, full, queen). Modern designs are more comfortable than ever with memory foam or innerspring mattresses.
$600–$2,500
Best for: Living rooms, guest rooms, studios.
Wall Beds (Murphy Beds)
Fold vertically against the wall, freeing up floor space. Often come with integrated shelving, desks, or cabinets. A premium solution for maximizing small spaces.
$1,200–$4,000+
Best for: Home offices, tiny homes, multipurpose rooms.
Futons
A simple, affordable hideabed. The backrest folds flat to create a sleeping surface. Often lightweight and easy to move. Available in twin, full, and queen sizes.
$150–$600
Best for: Dorm rooms, kids' rooms, budget-friendly guest spaces.
Hideaway & Pull-Out Beds
Often found in ottomans, chairs, or under-bed trundles. These compact options are great for occasional use in tight spaces.
$200–$800
Best for: Small apartments, nurseries, extra sleeping for kids.
How to Choose the Perfect Hideabed
- 1. Measure Your Space: Always measure the area where the hideabed will be placed – both when folded and fully extended.
- 2. Consider Mattress Comfort: Memory foam or hybrid mattresses offer better sleep quality than traditional innersprings.
- 3. Frame Material & Durability: Hardwood or metal frames last longer. Check weight capacity for regular use.
- 4. Ease of Use: Test the folding mechanism. Gas-assisted or spring-loaded systems are smoother.
- 5. Style & Aesthetics: Choose a design that complements your existing decor. Upholstery options include fabric, leather, and velvet.
