With a new baby comes a lot of visitors—aunts, uncles, friends and in-laws all clamoring for a chance to meet your sweet little cherub. The locals will come and go (thank goodness), but as for the out-of-towners? Well, they’ll need a place to stay. After welcoming my first baby earlier this year, this was precisely the predicament I found myself in. I loved having family around and welcomed the extra hands eager to tackle diaper duty and bottle cleaning, but with a small house and limited bedrooms, the sleeping arrangements quickly became a major headache.

I knew we needed to maximize our living space with a sleeper sofa that could pull double duty as a hangout spot and a pull-out bed—preferably one that could comfortably sleep two people. Enter the Burrow Span Sleeper Sofa, a modern and modular everyday couch that can convert into a queen-sized mattress in two seconds flat. Six months of testing and multiple visitors later, here is my honest review—plus, how to score $962 off from now through Dec. 9 during the brand’s sitewide Cyber Week sale.

What Is the Burrow Span Sleeper Sofa?

The Burrow Span Sleeper is a modular sofa that converts into a queen-size bed featuring a four-layer CertiPUR-US® foam mattress with a cooling memory foam topper and breathable jersey knit cover. With a stain-resistant Chenille fabric and simple fold-out design, the Burrow Span Sleeper Sofa makes hosting a breeze. Guests will love the supportive cushions, down alternative pillows and springless design, while hosts will rave about the durability, storage options and smooth transition. Unlike made-to-order pieces, Burrow furniture is modular (meaning it’s made up of individual interchangeable pieces), resulting in reliable inventory and fast shipping—no lengthy wait times or hidden fees.

Burrow Span Sleeper Sofa Set Up & Delivery

Burrow

The modular nature of Burrow’s furniture meant my sleeper sofa arrived at my doorstep in multiple boxes just days after placing my order—a welcome surprise with our baby’s due date quickly approaching. The boxes were hefty, but once inside, we were able to unbox and get to work on assembly. My husband and I cleared off an afternoon (oh, the joys of free time before parenthood) and set to work on building our two-seater sofa. At nine months pregnant, I was pretty useless—if you need a professional wrench holder, I’m your girl—but if you’re handy like my husband, you won’t need much assistance. The only time he needed a second set of hands was while attaching the frame to the base of the couch: one person to align the pegs, the other to lock them in place. For any fellow wrench holders reading this, there is an option to add in-home set up for an additional fee (pricing subject to availability in your area).

Burrow Span Sofa: The Couch Experience

As couches go, this one’s a stunner. It’s clean, modern and looks incredibly high-end—you’d never know it came prepackaged in a box. I went with the standard two-seater in a deep blue shade, which turned out to be surprisingly neutral given its bold hue. I also love that the darker fabric hides a multitude of sins, from dog hair and mud-stained paws to baby spit-up. Plus, the material is super durable, holding up impressively well to my dog’s daily habit of scratching. Without being too bulky or in the way, I love how the two-seater configuration frames our large picture window, creating a convenient sitting area in our multi-use playroom/office/hang out spot—making it the perfect place to cozy up with a cup of coffee while my infant babbles away on his playmat.

While the Burrow Span Sleeper gets an A+ for design, it could use some work in the comfort department. In my opinion, this isn’t the kind of couch you want to sink into for an all-night movie marathon. With the cushions leaning more stiff and supportive than plush and cozy, it’s a sitting sofa—great for conversation and short hangs. Nevertheless, it has a generous seat depth and, depending on which guest I talked to, I got mixed feedback on the overall comfort level. While my sister-in-law thought it was quite hard, my older parents raved about how much easier it was to stand up from compared to my other softer sectional.

Burrow Span Sofa: The Sleeper Experience

Converting the Burrow Span Sleeper Sofa from a couch to a bed (and back again) could not be easier. Simply remove the two back cushions, grab the inside handles on the seat and pull the bottom out onto the floor—voila, a queen-size bed! No temperamental springs or stiff metal hardware to contend with thanks to the all-foam design. Similar to the couch’s comfort level, our overnight guests (both single sleepers and couples) said the sofa’s mattress was on the firmer side, but that it grew more comfortable over time and provided a pleasant night’s sleep with minimal motion transfer. On the heels of a repeat visit, one cousin said it best in the group chat: “I call dibs on the couch!”

Once the company cleared, I had a chance to test drive the sleeper myself. Newly postpartum and so very sleep-deprived, mid-day naps were my saving grace. While I agree the mattress cushioning is on the firmer end of the spectrum, I found it to be supportive and spacious.

The Bottom Line: Is the Burrow Span Sleeper Sofa Worth It?

What I Like

  • Multiple configurations (2-seater, single chaise, reversible sectional) 
  • CertiPUR-US® queen mattress with cooling tech 
  • Ultra-durable performance chenille upholstery in 5 shades 
  • Optional chaise with built-in storage for bedding  
  • Beautiful, modern design

What I Don't Like

  • Very firm cushioning
  • Assembly required

Burrow

Sleek, stylish and built to last, the Burrow Span Sleeper Sofa puts all other pull-outs to shame thanks to its smart features and high-quality design. The queen-size mattress is a must for multi-guest stays, while Burrow’s fast shipping, affordable prices and built-in storage options make it a no-brainer for small space living. Sure, it may not be the plushest couch on the market, but even after six months of rigorous testing with a rotating cast of overnight guests, it still looks as good as new (ya know, minus the baby spit).

Now through December 9, you can score up to 40 percent off sitewide (plus free shipping on orders over $2,000) during Burrow’s Cyber Week sale.
