Bedrooms are for sleeping. Or at least traditionally they have been. But what do you do when company comes over? Not all of us have space for a guest bedroom. If you are short on dedicated bedrooms, you may need to get creative with the sleeping arrangements.
Whether your kids are home from college for the summer, your folks (or in-laws) are in town for the holidays, or your best friend needs a place to crash for the weekend, you need solutions. This might mean a sleeper sofa or loveseat in the living room, or a Murphy bed to transform your home office or spare room into a sleeping space. Enter the newest area within the Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet showroom – Sleep Solutions.
Sleep Solutions for Common Sleeper Sofa Shopping Hassles
The right solution for your home may be a sleeper sofa, sleeper loveseat, sleeper chair, Murphy bed, or something else. Regardless, our Sleep Solutions area is designed to help shoppers avoid or overcome the biggest problems and frustrations consumers face when shopping for sleeper sofas or other alternatives. What are these issues and what are we doing to solve them? Keep reading!
There are 5 key issues that frustrate shoppers when shopping for sleepers. If you’ve ever shopped for a sleeper sofa before, you may have experienced these personally. Fortunately, we’ve got the Sleep Solutions to help you expand the sleeping capacity of your home in no time.
Problem 1: No Sleeper Size Options
In most furniture stores, you have one choice when it comes to what size sleeper you want. “Do you want a queen size, a queen size, or a queen size?” The overwhelming majority of furniture retailers only sell queen-size sleeper sofas. Very rarely do furniture stores carry any full-size sleeper loveseats, or twin-size sleeper chairs or chair-and-a-halfs.
But we do! Here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, we understand that a queen or sofa sized footprint doesn’t work for every room in a customer’s home. For that reason, our Sleep Solutions area has numerous options available from armchair to sofa, to twin, full and queen size mattresses.
Problem 2: Limited Selection of Sleepers
The second sleeper shopping hassle is similar. For many furniture retailers, sleeper sofas are a niche or specialty item. As such, they may not have much selection of sleepers in different styles, colors, or fabrics. In fact, you may have a hard time finding a store with multiple models available on the showroom floor at all. In many of these cases, if they do sell sleeper sofas, retailers don’t bother taking up floor space to display it in-store. Instead, they’ll display the regular, non-sleeper model with a tag indicating that it is also available as a sleeper.
While this practice is understandable for stores with limited floor space, it also means that there’s no opportunity for you to try the mattress or sleeper mechanism for yourself. But not so here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet. Within Sleep Solutions, we have a wide selection of sleepers inside our store allowing you to sit on, lie on, and operate the mechanisms before you buy.
Problem 3: Lack of Product Availability
But wait, isn’t lack of availability the same thing as limited selection? Not quite. If many furniture retailers are reluctant to take up floor space in their stores with “niche” products like sleeper sofas or sleeper loveseats, how likely do you think they are to take up space in their warehouse to keep those items in stock? This presents yet another inconvenience for shoppers. Now you’ve got to likely wait weeks for your new sleeper as it has to be special ordered and sent from the manufacturer.
Don’t get us wrong. We love being able to help our shoppers custom order pieces that are exactly what they want. In fact, our Sleep Solutions area includes some lovely options from brands like England Furniture and West Coast Collection where our customers can pick from hundreds of frames, fabrics, colors and patterns. But if you need your new sleeper ASAP and don’t want to wait, we’ve got dozens of options in stock that you can take home with you today!
Problem 4: Very Few (If Any) Mattress Options
This is a huge hurdle for many sleeper sofa shoppers – even if they don’t know it. Let’s be honest, how many times have you slept on a sleeper sofa and thought, “Wow, this mattress is incredible”? It goes without saying that sleeper sofas involve some trade-offs. For instance, with sleepers, we’re willing to trade a bit of comfort for a lot of convenience, utility, and space-savings. But what if you could have a seriously comfortable sleeper mattress? 
Most of the time when you shop for sleepers, you simply get whatever mattress comes with it. Typically, the mattress is packaged with the sleeper and sold as a single unit. With Sleep Solutions, we’re changing the game in order to give every shopper a choice. That’s why most of our sleeper options come “naked”. After you’ve chosen your sleeper, choose between a standard innerspring sleeper mattress, an upgraded foam mattress, or a comfy, self-inflating air mattress. It’s up to you!
Problem 5: Can’t Buy Just the Mattresses
Finally, we occasionally have shoppers visit our stores looking for just a sleeper sofa mattress. Most often, this is because the original sleeper mattress was ruined or worn out and needs to be replaced. Alternatively, many consumers like these thin, light-weight sleeper mattresses to use in their campers or RVs. Either way, if you’ve ever tried to replace just the mattress from a sleeper sofa, sleeper chair or sleeper loveseat, you know that these items can often be difficult to find. Because most sleepers are sold as a single unit with their mattresses, most retailers are unable to break up their inventory to sell just the mattress.
But don’t worry! Remember those three sleeper mattress options above? Yep, we sell them separately too. Choose from innerspring, foam or air mattress in twin, full or queen size.
Finding Your New Sleeper Sofa Is As Easy As Counting to Four
Now that you know why we’ve created Sleep Solutions, it’s time for the how. Here’s how we’ve streamlined the sleeper sofa shopping process. It really is as easy as counting to 4.
(1) Pick Your Size
What size did you have in mind? Pick from a twin sleeper chair-and-a-half, a full sleeper loveseat or a queen sleeper sofa. We have tons of options for each, just keep in mind that there will be the most options for queen size.
(2) Pick Your Style
Next, you need to pick a style that you like for your new sleeper. Whether your decorating style is contemporary, traditional or somewhere in between, we’ve got plenty of models to choose from.
(3) Pick Your Color
What colors are you trying to match or complement in your existing décor? We have a ton of colors and fabric choices in stock, in addition to literally hundreds of custom order options for your new sleeper.
