Sleepers look very similar to sofas but are designed and constructed very differently.
These construction differences make sleepers significantly less durable over the long term than matching sofas made by the same manufacturer.
Most mechanisms used on sleepers sold in the U.S. are made by one of two huge suppliers. Expensive, high end sleepers often have the same mechanisms as those found in sleepers selling for half the price.
Sofa Sleepers are less durable than normal (non-motion) sofas made by the same brand. Adding a sleeper mechanism & mattress fundamentally alters the construction and reduces the overall quality & lifespan of a sofa. Very similar mechanisms are often found in both lower cost sleepers (<$1000) & high priced sofa beds ($3000+.)
