While researching the history of sleeper sofas for American Leather, I found these great ads from a 1954 edition of FURNITURE WORLD. Sleeper sofas have been around for decades and consumers still love them today. BBFL has bound issues of FURNITURE WORLD dating back to 1895.
Sleeper Sofas…………still a hit!
