IKEA's Top Rated Compact Sleeper Sofas That Are Great For Small Spaces

Hosting guests is a delightful undertaking for many individuals, but it can also easily become a burden if you are not properly equipped to provide them with what they need. While it's easy enough to share bathroom space for a day or so, sleeping arrangements can quickly turn difficult if you lack a proper guest bed. In situations such as these, many individuals turn to the solution of convertible couches — sometimes called sleeper or pull-out sofas — to solve their problem. By tracking down and purchasing a sleeper sofa for your home, you can be ready to receive friends and family in your space overnight, no matter how short on square footage you are. 

IKEA has long been respected for its innovative furniture solutions, which among other priorities caters to individuals who need compact pieces. From the LYCKSELE LÖVÅS to the HYLTARP, their compact sleeper sofa selection reflects that focus. With a number of sleeper sofas that fit into the smallest of spaces, you can find ones that are ideal for those needing a single bed to pull out in a pinch, or a full-sized mattress that can sleep two. Whether you're looking for something more modern, classic, minimalist, or eye-catching, IKEA could have a viable compact sleeping solution for your space.

If you're short on space but want to provide your overnight guests with a comfy place to sleep, the LYCKSELE LÖVÅS is a solid option. Priced at $499, the sofa has earned a 4.4-star rating and is designed with a mattress that is advertised as being big enough to sleep two. One of the reasons customers are enjoying IKEA's space-saving sleeper sofa is thanks to its fun designs on its covers, which range from Ransta natural to Vansbro yellow, and even a Grindtorp multicolor print for more daring interiors.

The LINDÅKRA is a limited-edition sleeper sofa that is designed with built-in storage, making it simple to stash pillows, sheets, and other bedding items for easy use. It's priced at $599, and delivers a single bed's worth of space for individuals to sleep on. Customers who have purchased the LINDÅKRA have given is a 4.4-star average rating and many say that it is firm and versatile. While it is not the most comfortable sleeper sofa available from IKEA, numerous reviews agree that it is very compact. It is available in both orange and dark gray.

Incredibly compact, the KIVIK 1-Seat Sleeper Sofa is a triumph for homeowners who are looking for a sleeping solution that takes up very little space. Priced at $699, this is a more expensive option than some of the aforementioned sofas, but customers who have purchased the sofa say that it is very comfy as a chair or a sleeping surface. Feedback on function, however, is a mixed bag — a number of reviews state the zippers on the item are tight and difficult to work. 

Priced at $1,649, the HYLTARP is fairly pricy for its size. That being said, when it is not in use as a sleeper sofa, it will keep your living room looking nicely put together. It's available in five colors, and customers have given it a 4.3-star rating. It receives top marks for being easy to convert to a sleeper and for its comfort as both a sofa and a bed. The HYLTARP is equipped with a removable and machine washable cover, making it easy to maintain.

For a more minimalist vibe, check out the SKÖNABÄCK, which offers a clever conversion for single bed sleepers. It costs $499, comes in three bold colors, and is equipped with storage space inside for stashing blankets and more. Customers who have purchased it have given the SKÖNABÄCK at 4.3-star average rating. Most of the positive reviews mention how compact it is, but other reviews state that it's best for small individuals and would be more comfortable when paired with a mattress topper.

The FRIHETEN is a compact chaise-style sleeper sofa. It's priced at $1,099 and is made with Bomstad, which is designed to look and feel like leather. Is IKEA's popular pull-out sofa bed worth all the hype it gets? While it has a 3.9-star review average, the rating pool is immense — currently including over 2,300 reviews. Customers who love the FRIHETEN praise it as a firm and long-lasting sleeper sofa, whereas more critical customers state that it is very uncomfortable. Taking your personal sleeping preferences into consideration is worthwhile when considering this or any other sleeper sofa.

Very different from the other sofas mentioned so far, the TORNSBORG is an austere-looking piece of furniture, with exposed pine armrests. Of all we know about IKEA's new space-saving sleeper sofa and chair-bed, one thing is obvious: Customers are loving the piece and giving it high ratings. It is priced at $599 and one review states that it was a good alternative to a Murphy bed, which would have taken up considerably more space.
