Hello all, we are in the process of converting our downtown Seattle condo to an STR as we move out of the city. It's a two bedroom and we are wondering if changing our current sectional sofa to a pullout sleeper sectional sofa for more sleeping arrangements would be beneficial? We could change the listing from sleeping 4 to sleeping 6? Any insight is appreciated!

Thanks for the insight. Any good brands/styles you would recommend that have worked well for your properties?
I only buy USA made furniture for our lake house. La-Z-Boy has a nice selection of sleeper sofas. I highly recommend looking on Craigslist, OfferUP and FB marketplace for nice used stuff. You can get them for pennies on the dollar. Ours was basically brand new for $200. It is a $2000 sofa.
My team owns and manages condos in Maui. Every one of our units has a sleeper sofa, it is a great way to add space for an additional two guests (preferably kids). It also helps include your listing when guests filter by sleep count.

We actually purchase a good amount of furniture on the island so I don't think our recommendations would be too helpful. I only buy memory foam sleeper sofas, we have countless guest reviews mentioning a very comfortable mattress. If it's going to be a primary sleeping arrangement (we have some 1bd condos so the couch can sleep half the party), then it's worth the investment into a quality piece.
Another bonus tip, when you get professional photography done, include a picture of the couch folded out and set up. It helps guests visualize what the space will look like if they need to utilize it.
