Hey Readers,
On Friday, April 27th you may have noticed a lot of changes take place on our homepage. Don’t know about you, but we’re excited.
New Banners–We recently implemented a Buy More Save More discount program for all of our sleeper sofas. We wanted to showcase this offer with a homepage banner, but quite simply, we didn’t have any real estate left! The new left side bubble menu and navigation allowed us to add a 5th ‘slide’. So, all of our current specials are clearly outlined and doing well!
Best Selling Sleepers–This section of the homepage is now clearly displayed towards the bottom of the page on the right side. Our most popular products are such for a reason. Here, you’ll find some of our best values, most comfortable sofas, very compact frames and more.
Sleeper of the Week; with a $100 discount for sharing–Clearly the favorite addition among our staff, we now highlight one product each week with a reduced sale price. You can also share this product with your social network (Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest) to get an additional $100 discount! There’s no need to copy any code or wait for an email–the deal simply requires a couple of clicks of the mouse, and the discount is yours!

Two worlds have collided. The world of sleeper sofas and the world of….Chinese cuisine?
You’ve likely been to a dinner party at the local Chinese restaurant with a bunch of friends and family. Remember how there were so many tasty sounding items on the menu that nobody could decide what to order? So, the family ordered a whole bunch of food ‘to share’. The dishes were brought in and put in the middle of the table on a spinning pedestal for everyone to access. That spinning pedestal is also known as a Lazy Susan.
We wanted to showcase our sleepers using our fancy new video camera; offering a 360° view of our sofa beds. So, we borrowed the Chinese food idea and asked our in-house master carpenter Ron to build us a Lazy Susan befitting a sleeper sofa. Here are the first results, presenting the Venice Full Sleeper by Savvy Sofas in all its glory:

We just added a whole new crew of sleeper sofas to our product line, including the Gold Coast, Hollywood, Lincoln and Palo Alto styles. All styles are available in our vast selection of fabric upholsteries, and all Gold Coast and Palo Alto pieces are available in a great variety of 100% top-grain leathers as well. The Lincoln Sectionals even include a queen size mattress!
For years, the Air-Dream mattress has been a most popular sleeper bed option—as the only mattress to offer the height profile of a more standard bedroom set. The mattress essentially consists of two parts; an innerspring base level (very similar to our Dreamsleeper Plush mattress), along with an air bladder above. Deflated, the mattress is still 5.5 inches thick. After inflation, there is a 12” bed for your guests to sleep on.
Panton, the world’s top authority on color, has officially declared Tangerine Tango color of the year for 2012.
Described by Pantone as “sophisticated, dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenalin rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”
Tangerine Tango will get a lot of love this year—ranging from clothing, wallpaper, furniture in general, and of course, sleeper sofas.
This tangy orange will add life to any room, while dressing in step with neutrals and primary colors. As noted on Pantone’s official blog, “This luscious reddish orange adds sensuality to fashion, flair to accessories, verve to cosmetics, and lively luxury to interior surfaces and appointments.”
Tangerine Tango :: 2012 Color of the Year by Pantone
When buying a sleeper sofa, there are a lot of colors to choose from. Sometimes, it is hard to narrow them down. But, we’ve come up with a way to help people hone in on what will work for them: look at the predominant colors in your closet. To make it even quicker, just look down at what you are wearing today. There is a good chance you will end up choosing one of these colors.
For those of you who love leather furniture, we thought it would be interesting to provide a bit of background to one of the most diverse materials in the world. Documented back to pre-historic times, leather has long been used for shelter, clothing, and other basic needs. Now, it is used to make the wallets we carry, the shoes we walk in, and of course the sleeper sofas we sit on! Although our dependence on leather has not changed over time, the sources of leather have managed to expand greatly. While most leather comes from the hide of a cow, it’s not uncommon to find hides taken from pigs, alligators, snakes, goats, and even sting rays. Leather is a part of many of our everyday lives and is perhaps the most durable material available for furniture.
We also invite you to visit our sister company–Savvy Leather Sofas–which offers “More Leather Sofas Than Anywhere Else”. There you’ll find the greatest selection of leather sofas, chairs, loveseats, sectionals and even reclining leather furniture. See you there!
Love how your new sleeper looks in its final resting place? We want to see! No need to have a DSLR camera, Photoshop or a professional photographer’s license–snap a pic of a sofa bed in your home, and send it over. Open or closed, with a model or without–however you want to send it works for us. Send entries to david@sleepersinseattle.com. Our favorite entry will be posted on the blog (with your permission) and the winner will receive a sleeper-related gift!
Sofa-beds have come a long way since 1871. Now, one can actually get a night’s sleep without disfiguring their back; a concept that really wasn’t brought to fruition until about a decade ago. Also, sleeper sofas aren’t as cumbersome as what is shown in the photo above–no longer is a forklift required to remove the bed. Today’s sofa-beds can even fit in the tiniest spaces (i.e. the Kristina Full).
Although we do not carry Berry’s Patent Folding Spring Bed-Lounge, we do offer the largest selection of sleeper sofas in the country. Unfortunately, our selection is not available at $5…
For only the third time in 8 years, the Generation III Comfort Sleeper can be purchased at a discount (over 9%)! All American Leather sleepers have been marked down on our site–all 12 styles, all 8 sizes, all 600 upholsteries.
If you have considered a Comfort Sleeper but the price is a drawback; now is your opportunity. The 2011 Comfort Sleeper Sale runs from September 1st to October 4th. If you have any additional questions, please call us at 1-888-922-SOFA!
