Dear NYC LOVER, When I read your original posting asking for advice on a sleeper sofa/chaise I was happy to see it was the exact same thing I am looking for- style, size and everything! It's funny because I actually just came home from Jensen Lewis where I found the Cadet by Cerrito. It is the one I like the best, but it is just so expensive. I saw one at Macy's- Portofino by Max Home for only $1200. It seems comfortable and has a great flip-flop chaise so you can switch sides, but I am scared of the quality and I can't find much information about it online. I wonder why some couches are close to $4000 and others are only around $1000. I am very curious to know why you chose the Tyler by Carter. Did you see it at Jensen Lewis? I looked at it online and love the look, but what are the dimensions? I couldn't tell from the website. It seems like it might be 117" with the chaise. I can't go over 110." Also, you mentioned you saved $1000 over retail. How? Do you know if it is possible to find the Cerrito sofa online for less? I must decide soon if I should just buy the Cerrito or keep looking. Here is a link that might be useful: Max Home sofa

I am so jealous of all your dark blue couches----- I have been trying to replace some medium blue couches and can only find beige. Anyway, I have beige carpet and the walls are shaker beige (Benjamin Moore) and it looks great with the blue couches. I agree that yellow or beige would be lovely. I am not a fan of grey too much( but it is very popular lately)

I prefer futons. I have a very nice futon with a memory foam mattress that lays flat and people comment all the time how comfortable it is to sit on and sleep on. I tried out daybeds and looked at pull out sofas but the futon was the most comfortable. I have a flex room or the game room as we call it where the futon is housed we use it when I have more guests than guest bedrooms. I have found people downstairs in the flex room who were watching tv sound asleep. When I ask them what they are doing they say that darn futon is so comfortable it gets you every time. I can't find the exact one I have but this one is very similar. Mine folds down into a full queen size and the mattress is very thick. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Somette-Ali-Phonics-Multi-flex-Espresso-Full-size-Wood-Frame-with-Bonded-Leather-Innerspring-Mattress-Futon-Set/8365989/product.html?refccid=GKG6BYEIEWAIRESI3TSU44Z2CY&searchidx=3

The American Upholstery sofas sold by Room & Board have the back come off and it breaks into much smaller pieces. We got one up and down the stairs in a pretty narrow row house. I think ours is the Berin model. Not sure if it goes specifically down to 29", but i'm sure if you called Room and Board they could provide guidance. American Upholstery pull outs are also notoriously the most comfortable bed/sofa combos. It is used in our playroom/guestroom, and i also like it because i wash the cushion covers in the machine all the time (and line dry) and they come out perfect.
