Nigerians back in the day usually just winged it when it came to getting the best couch. If it wasn’t leathery and uncomfortable —not like that ever stopped us from laying on it— it was made from the same fabric used to make the curtains. And whoever told our parents that having a napkin on the sofa headrest was a good idea must be a billionaire because it was a decorative epidemic.

Thanks to civilization, we’ve seen that drab home design given that long-overdue face life. With minimalist and Bohemian inspiration waiting to be explored, we finally have some variety when it comes to choosing the right sofa. Selecting the right couch can cost you repeated trips to whatever Nigeria’s version of Bed, Bath and Beyond is with no luck.

Well, to save you tons of hours in traffic looking for that, we’ve put together a list to help you narrow down what you want and what you don’t want.

You might be wondering; aren’t all sofas made for sleeping? Well, if all our mothers’ constant “stop sleeping on the couch” meant anything then not all sofas are made to be slept on. But this is, as it doubles down as a couch and bed.
