Welcome

We’ve all done it—out of necessity, preference, or we’ll-regret-this-in-the-morning recklessness. Sofa, couch, loveseat or futon—they can all be fine substitutes for beds in the right situation. Sometimes it’s the warm winter afternoon sun that lulls us to sleep while we’re snuggled into the couch watching football. Occasionally it’s the evening at dear friends that we don’t want to end—not to mention the promise of huevos rancheros in the morning. Sometimes it’s the sofas proximity to an ill-loved one that makes it the perfect spot. At times it’s the demilitarized zone that provides refuge from a hostile relationship.

Sleeping on sofas can be one of life’s finest pleasures, or one of the largest measures of despair. Tell us your story: do you have a favorite sleeping sofa? Where have you slept on a sofa? Why did you sleep on a sofa?
