The biggest flex you can sport in a small modern apartment is a comfortable sofa bed that actually looks good in your living room. The Banks Trundle Sofa Bed from West Elm will save you from the guilt of poorly rested guests and keep you from compromising on the aesthetic of your hosting space.

If you're like me, and sometimes quick to relinquish your bed (for truly loved ones) for a spot on the couch, this is exactly the type of sleeper sofa that doesn't feel like all too much of a lesser choice.

Since buying a sofa is one of the most important decisions you can make for a living room, here's a closer look at what you can expect from this trundle bed.

West Elm

Banks Trundle Sofa Bed

If you ask me, West Elm furniture is almost always a hit. The brand delivers a refined sophistication through its designs in structure, material, and style. And the Banks Trundle Sofa Bed is no exception. It's a fashionable way to adapt your living room for hosting. This tawny chenille finish is easy to adopt into most homes, and it features a medium firmness (rated three out of five). And if you love the look of this sofa bed, but yearn for a softer foundation, a mattress topper (like this Deep Sleep Topper from Amazon) is the perfect addition when dressing it for slumber.

West Elm

Booker King Sofa Bed

If you want all the luxury of a spacious king-size sofa bed with a softer feel and a cooler color, this Booker King Sofa Bed is the next best thing. It's slightly on the firmer side (rated four out of five), so if you prefer a solid base, this will be right up your alley.
