A guest room is the perfect option for a spare bedroom, and, if you are a fan of interior design, one of the most fun parts of the project is the designing of the space.
Of course, not everyone has a large spare room at their disposal, so you are going to be looking for multi-functional furniture if you fall into this camp. One option that is becoming popular in 2024 is the use of sofa beds in guest rooms, which double as a sitting and sleeping spot.
No two sofa beds are created equal, though, and if you are looking for a stylish and comfortable sofa bed, check out these designs, which will put your home visitors in a deep slumber in no time.

Box Bed
Ideal for homes with a contemporary feel, when this sofa bed is folded back into the sofa aspect of the bed, it has no back. Ergo, it looks more like a large pouf! These sofa beds are perfect for guest rooms that have limited space, and, while the most popular type of box bed is a single, you can get them in doubles.
So, all you interior designers need to worry about with this style of bed is the color it comes in!
Classic Sofa Bed
On the other end of the spectrum of sofa bed designs, you have the classic style, which is almost indistinguishable from a standard, small sofa.
These are an ideal option if you are going for something more classic in your guest room. Or, if you simply have no idea which design will look best. Just try to avoid the orange ones unless you are aiming for a 1970s vibe.
Corner Sofa Bed
Yes, you can get sofa beds with the ‘L’ shape of a standard corner sofa.
These are ideal for larger guest rooms or if you are having a larger family, or group of friends, stay with you. They are naturally double beds, and if you have the money or the space, you can get them in king or queen size, too!
Click-Clack Sofa Beds
Interestingly, there are sofa beds which you can use as a bed first and a sofa second. You can do this with any sofa bed, of course, but there is one type of bed where it is deliberate: the click-clack sofa bed.
Why are they called click-clack beds? When you unfold them to be a bed, there is a mechanism that clicks into place, and when you fold them back to be a sofa, there is a clack. These beds are the most affordable and usually come in singles or doubles.
3-Seater Sofa Beds
On the larger end, you can also get the aptly named ‘3-seater sofa bed’, which fits three people when in sofa form. When in bed form, it is usually a double, and may be suitable for families with younger children to sleep in.
These are great for any guest room design, but only if you have the space- they can be pretty big!
