Using Sleeper Ottomans in Guest Rooms

A sleeper ottoman is a perfect addition to your guest room. When you do not have guests over, the sleeper ottoman folds up and is a functional footrest by your guestroom chair. When you need an additional bed for a guest, a cot unfolds out of the ottoman. Sleeper ottomans take up very little space and are right there when you need additional beds for your overnight guests.

Find an ottoman that matches your furniture

You can find an ottoman that coordinates with other seating furniture in your guest room. Sleeper ottomans come in a wide variety of colors and materials, from colorful upholstery to brown or black leather. You can also choose a sleeper ottoman in a neutral color that goes with just about any furniture. Of course, you can always cover your ottoman with a slipcover for a better match with your other upholstery or to change its color when you are updating the look of your guest room.

Single or double sleepers

Most sleeper ottomans only pull out a cot for just one person. A few double ottomans are available that have enough space for two guests. Check the sleeper ottoman's specifications to see if it is a single or double.

Where to put your ottoman

Sleeper ottomans look great in just about any location in your guest room. If your guest room has a sleeper sofa, choose a coordinating sleeper ottoman that gives people a place to put their feet up while they sit down on the sofa. On the other hand, if your guest room has a bed rather than a sleeper sofa, your sleeper ottoman can go right at the foot of the bed, providing your guests with a bit of seating in the guest room or a place to put their luggage.

A sleeper ottoman is the perfect addition to your guest room. You can provide an extra bed for additional guests that your guest room may not otherwise accommodate. When you have a sleeper ottoman, you also have a spare bed for your child's friend to spend the night for a slumber party.
