Furnishing a home is expensive, so you may find yourself looking for ways to cut costs. That may lead to a less comfortable couch you bought from Facebook Marketplace that fits your space but doesn’t allow the best sleep for guests. One way to improve your seating (and sleeping) options is by purchasing a sleeper chair that is often less expensive than a full-on new couch or sleeper sofa. We scoured the best places to buy couches and considered top-ranking brands to find the best sleeper chairs of 2024.

- Removable, washable cover

Pros
- Testers and reviewers found the chair comfortable
- Bi-fold innerspring mattress
- Anti-tip safety feature
Cons
- Expensive
Our Textiles Lab found in sleeper sofa testing that Crate & Barrel scored high with survey panelists who said they love the brand’s sofas, and gave them high ratings for comfort, style and durability.

Best Sleeper Chair for College
PB Teen Ashton Single Sleeper

Pros
- Foam cushions and mattress
- Chic design
- Compact size
Cons
- Pricey if only used for a few years
If you have a high schooler heading to college next year or a student about to live in their first college apartment, our home experts recommend investing in a small couch that will fit their space and last for years. While this best-selling sleeper is almost $400, its comfortable foam cushions and mattress will quickly pay itself off over four (or more) years.
Your teen or early 20-something will vibe with the chic style, and you’ll have a more comfortable spot to sleep over when visiting. PB Teen may be for teens, but a neutrally upholstered sleeper like this can last far past their young adult years.
