There are no hard-and-fast rules regarding what is and isn’t a “modern” sofa. Right when you begin to believe they’re all thin arms and skinny legs, you run into designers making the opposite.

It’s your sofa.

Sleeper sofas used to be a last resort for some people, but now the sting of “you’re sleeping on the couch tonight” doesn’t feel like the same punishment as it once was.
