It’s your choice.If you don’t need the trundle underneath, it also comes in a regular queen-size sleeper sofa, and you can even get it as a sectional and really impress your guests.

Everything we’ve tested has been impressively well-made for the price. Case in point: This reversible sleeper section, which one of our writers couldn’t stop raving about. We’ll let her take it from here:“If you’re in a smaller space, need something that works deceptively harder, and aren’t into furniture that screams, ‘I came in a flat-pack box,’ the Marina sleeper sectional is it.“The seat cushions are deep enough to settle into but still supportive. But we’ve already put the pullout to the test by hosting my in-laws for a weekend. No complaints about sore backs or lumpy springs. No polite ‘We’re fine!’ followed by texts the next morning asking where the Advil is. The foldout memory-foam mattress is thick, firm, and genuinely comfy. It’s just shy of a queen in size, so two people can sleep there without feeling crammed, and the pullout mechanism is smooth and drama-free. No wrestling. No pinched fingers. This sofa has been a total upgrade to our hospitality game in a small apartment where guest rooms don’t exist.” —Jordi Lippe-McGrawFeatures at a GlanceDimensions90"W x 35.5"H x 63"DSwatchesIvory, gray (polyester)West Elm’s sleeper sofa is how you make a sleeper sofa look as high-end as possible.
