by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 04. 3.08
These aren't your mother's convertible beds. The New York Times rounds up a nice selection of sleeper sofas, folding beds, transforming couches and other clever pieces that do double duty and save space, all without the uncomfortable metal bars in your back.
A few will be familiar to long-time TreeHugger readers, like the sofa-to-bunk-bed combo (which is now available in the US) but it's a pretty well-rounded round-up, whether you're in to futons, sofas or beds that just disappear into the wall.

We featured this bunk bed folder before, but it's now available through Resource Furniture, which has lots of great space-savers.
Don't have the space for an extra bed all the time? This one hides in an armoire when not in use.
The futon enters the 21st century.
