The Ashley sleeper sofa is styled more like a traditional couch and is covered in stain-resistant fabric. The charcoal color fits well with most color schemes. For a contemporary decor, the Emily, which is made of white faux leather and chrome, without armrests offers a sleek modern feel.
The Ashley sofa bed is covered in stain-resistant polyester fabric and the Emily and Alex are covered in faux leather. The Emily is in white faux leather and the Alex is black faux leather.
The Alex sleeper sofa is by far the best choice for a dorm room or as an extra bed in a teenager's room. It is the smallest of the three and folds up to give an extra chair. The black faux leather can resist the signs of dirt that comes with teenager activity and it is resistant to tears.
When it comes to versatility, the Emily tops the list. This piece actually consists of the basic chaise and an ottoman that fit together in various ways to create a sofa, loveseat, chaise lounge or bed.
For the most durability, Ashley comes out on top. The construction is highest in quality and the wood frame is created to withstand years of use. The fabric is stain resistant and created for daily use. All the corners have been glued, blocked, and stapled. This sofa will withstand constant use for years if treated properly.
Again, the Ashley tops the list in this regard. You have your choice of a traditional spring-type mattress or a memory foam one. The quality constructed frame makes sagging almost impossible and the cushioned back and side arms create extra padding for the upper body. The thinner foam of the Emily may require an additional mattress pad in order to provide comfort for heavier individuals.
Size is one of the most important considerations when purchasing a sofa bed as you need to have room for it to completely stretch out. With the Ashley, you have a full-sized bed. The Alex takes up the space of a twin bed and the Emily has an unusual size of somewhere between a queen and a king. Without adding the ottoman into the bed configuration, you are looking at a queen-sized bed with the Emily.
This would be the Ashley. The included mattress is designed to last for a long period of time but any standard full-sized mattress will fit if you have special needs or something happens that you need to replace the original. Replacement mattresses are also conveniently sold by the same company so you know you are getting one designed to fit perfectly.
