February 07, 2019 12:00 AM

As many homeowners move to living smaller in tiny houses, accessory dwelling units and mobile homes, the sleeper sofa has taken on new importance regarding space-saving needs. From modular sofas that come equipped with pop-up storage to sleek click-into-place daybeds, today's designs can be pushed, pulled and opened like a book. And they look good, too. We have compiled a list of 11 of the latest designs to hit the market. Prices were checked prior to publication but may fluctuate depending on individual retailers.

1. The Flipside Sofabed from Gus Modern

The Flipside Sofabed in the new Chelsea Pacific fabric converts the clean-lined sofa into a queen-size bed with one quick flip. With easy-pull fabric handles and a removable, machine-washable cotton top sheet for overnight guests. $1,999. gusmodern.com
