Double Sleeper
If you need an extra bed for overnight visitors but don't have a dedicated guest room, a daybed is a practical piece of furniture that looks just fine in the family room or home office. During the day, it functions as a couch, while at night it converts into a comfortable twin bed. This daybed is doubly useful, thanks to a hidden trundle mattress that opens to fit another sleeper and closes snugly and securely when not in use. Add a few throw pillows and cover the top mattress in a textured blanket and it looks and functions like any other couch. Available at The Home Depot; $799.
