In the past month alone, my (admittedly tiny) apartment has been host to three weekends of out-of-town guests. Having my loved ones near me was, of course, a treat — that's what the holiday season is all about — but am I happy to have my floorspace back after being overrun by air mattresses? Most definitely.
Understandably, a month of mattresses piled on my living room floor had me thinking of more practical options for guest beds. I only have one sofa, so I don't necessarily want to replace it with a less-comfy fold-out bed. And then I found it: entryway beds. It was Pottery Barn's Josie Bed that first caught my eye. Narrow enough to fit into your entry hallway (but could equally work in any multifunctional space), and pulls out into a double-sized sofa bed.
