Sofas don’t always get enough credit, but they’re one of the MVP furniture pieces in a home. Not only are they where you spend Friday night wine nights or a chill Sunday afternoon, but they’re also where you host overnight guests, spend a WFH day or have game night with the family. Such a hardworking piece of furniture is worth investing in, and that means spending a little extra money on a sofa that really packs in the function.
These days, you can find great sofas that maximize their size with built-in storage, giving you extra space to stow blankets, bedding, and board games. What’s better, many of these sofas fold out into beds for overnight guests, and they’re super cozy and stylish for daytime hangs. We rounded up some of our favorite storage sofas of all types — sectionals, futons, sofas for big spaces, and sofas for small spaces — to help you find the perfect multi-functional piece for your home.

Urban Sleeper Sectional with Storage Chaise
We love this sleeper sectional for its substantial hidden storage space, yes, but this sofa also has unbelievably plush cushions and the ability to transform your living room into a guest bedroom. And when you pull the mattress out, you're not getting a meager twin cot, but rather a queen-sized mattress. Although the sofa definitely has a more traditional look, but you can make it fit your surroundings thanks to the "build your own" option on West Elm's website.
Serta Palisades Reclining Sectional Sofa with Storage Chaise
Don’t need extra sleeping space, but do need all the extra storage you can get? This simple but super-comfortable piece from Serta gets the job done. The sofa seats lift up using gas lift technology (which means it won’t slam shut on your fingers!) to reveal a seven-foot long, four-inch high storage compartment for anything and everything. Add to that the ottoman, which also has a roomy storage compartment, and you’ll never be hurting for storage space in the living room again!
Kerle 2-Piece Sectional with Pop-Up Bed
When AT shopping writer Nikol tested and rated every sofa at Ashley, the Kerle Sectional was the storage pick to beat. With its small, 89-inch-wide frame, pop-up sleep surface, and storage chaise you’ll be able to simultaneously cut down on clutter and keep blankets and pillows within easy reach — plus, if guests ever need to crash overnight, they have a convenient spot to do so. Oh, and did we mention the couch has a dual USB charging port on the side? And with its simple design and neutral upholstery, it’ll never look outdated.
LINSY HOME Modular Sectional Sofa
Most small space-friendly sofas have some kind of storage within the seating, but how about storage beneath every (yes, every) seat! The LINSY HOME modular sofa features just that. With six seats worth of storage, a solid design, and a firm yet cozy feel, this sofa is guaranteed to transform your apartment or condo into an organized (and comfy) dream.

Brynn 2-Piece Sofa Chaise with Pop Up Sleeper and Storage
Just looking at this tufted sofa, you'd never know that it was also a queen bed chock full of storage. Indeed, you get a pop-up storage chaise and the sofa's bottom half slides out via large pull tabs. The fabric is also stain-resistant, and the feet are removable. Plus, the Brynn model comes with two pillows! No wonder it made our list of the best sofas from Raymour & Flanigan!
Burnett Storage Sectional Set
Add coziness to any corner of your home with this snug little sectional from PB Teen! At just over five feet wide, it’ll easily hold two people on movie night, but its small footprint won’t make your home feel too crowded.

The variety of color and upholstery options only make this piece more amazing!)

It doesn't get any better than the SOMA bed from Article.
