Sleeper Chair

Posted on Thu, Sep 9, 2010 by Benny in Beds

A sleeper chair is an innovation in bedroom furniture that provides a stylish way of adding bed space in your bedroom without sacrificing room space. Also called a “loveseat sleeper,” a sleeper chair is a special kind of chair that can be used as a bed. 

Sleeper chairs come in various sizes for various room space needs and consumer preferences. Sleeper chair widths range from about 48 inches to 65 inches to fit with any available room space. In choosing a sleeper chair, it is important to measure the amount of space available in the room to avoid getting a sleeper chair that’s too wide or too narrow.

Different sleeper chair fabric coverings

Sleeper chairs come in different fabric coverings. Some are woven, while others are printed. Woven fabric coverings are usually more durable than printed ones but are more expensive and prone to absorb more dirt and dust. Because of this, sleeper chairs covered with woven fabric usually require cleaning and dusting more often.

Sleeper chairs covered with smooth cotton fabric, on the other hand, are those which are usually cheaper and lighter. They resist dust and dirt better, having fabric protection to make them look brighter and cleaner all the time. Smooth cotton fabric coverings come in various designs and color patterns for you to choose from. 

In deciding whether to choose woven covering or smooth cotton covering, it is important to consider your lifestyle, the people who are most likely to use the sleeper chair, your priorities, and the location where you are to place your sleeper chair. If you have a more active lifestyle and you need durable sleeper chairs, go for woven fabric coverings. 

You can choose smooth cotton fabric coverings if you love colors and artistic designs. Just remember that placing your sleeper chair where it is likely to get direct sunlight frequently could cause the colors and designs of the smooth cotton covering to fade easily.

If you don’t like fabric coverings, then you can also opt for sleeper chairs made of vinyl, leather, or microfibers. These materials resist dirt and spills better and are also easier to clean and maintain. It would also be worth it to carefully choose mattresses for your sleeper. Though inner spring mattresses are commonly used, memory foam mattresses are also growing in popularity because of the comfort and convenience they provide. Wit the right type of mattress, your body could feel more relaxed.
