You may have limited space in your apartment, so it helps to have one piece of furniture that functions as both a sofa and a bed. You may not have a room just for guests, so it's easier to allow your guests to sleep in the living room on your sofa bed.

Sofa beds can be surprisingly versatile and attractive, so you might get one just in case you need it later. The sofa bed may cost a little more than a regular couch sometimes, you can find great deals for sofa beds online.
