I Just Found This Year's 'It' Sofa Style Seriously Discounted — If You're Looking to Invest Before the Hosting Season, Here's Your Sign

Off-white sofa in a white living room on top of a black and white rug and a green tall plant in the back corner.

As we head into hosting season, there is one thing on all of our minds: how do we prepare our homes for guests? Sure, decorating has a lot to do with making our spaces festive-friendly, but I would argue the larger, more practical details are more important. You can't be a 5-star host without somewhere comfortable for guests to sit, and more importantly, sleep. In search of ideas? I just found the perfect solution. (And it's stylish, too.)

The Black Friday Preview has just dropped, and there are so many Wayfair sofas with massive markdowns right now. But one particular style caught my attention thanks to its deep-set seat, reminiscent of the pit sofa trend that is everywhere right now. Plus, it's technically a sleeper, meaning it not only looks good, but is a practical purchase ahead of hosting season.

The Axiel 88" Corduroy Sleeper Sofa comes in a range of different colors, including cream and a deep, forest green, and is finished with a corduroy fabric that feels cozy while also timelessly chic. It's currently got a 4.8/5-star rating after 271 reviews, with more than one customer vouching for its conduciveness to napping.

But it's not the only sofa I noticed in the current Wayfair sale. In fact, there were plenty more where that came from, and some at a much better price point. (And we haven't even got to Black Friday yet?!)

When family and friends are in town, a good sofa goes a long way. But the cost of a new sofa can also be a big ask ahead of the festive season. That's why it pays to get in early and shop the sales while they're hot. To further inspire you, here's a few other pit-style-sofas I'd happily add to my cart.
