Sleeper Sofas – Ghetto or Cool?
I have to admit, I never grew up with a sleeper sofa in our house. We had some chairs and traditional couches in our living room, but no magical couch that could easily become a bed with a few clicks on one’s wrist. Now maybe because I wasn’t exposed to these technological miracle furniture pieces, I always grew up thinking they were the coolest thing since Rick Astley. But in talking with a friend recently he shared how he always thought a sleeper sofa was a sign of a family that couldn’t afford an extra bed. Since then this potential paradigm shift has troubled me; was I wrong all these years? Are sleeper sofas not cool? If so, how could I make such a misjudgment? The answer, as always, generally lays somewhere in the middle; to me sleeper sofas or any other converting type of furniture, are cool. For others, not so much. But it doesn’t matter to might right now since I’m the proud owner of a sleeper sofa. Also, I can’t afford an actual guest bedroom right now.
