This Magic Chair Converts Into a Comfortable Bed, and It's 40% off Right Now

Creativity with space is key when you're working with a small home but like to host weekend guests. That's the situation I found myself in with a 1,100 square-foot cottage and only one guest bedroom. To help remedy the situation, I added Coddle's Switch Convertible Chair and a Half -- currently 40% off for the Fourth of July -- to my home office and now guests are fighting over who gets to sleep on it. The Coddle Switch chair isn't just an extra bed, it may become your new favorite place to read or listen to a podcast. David Watsky/CNET Futon-style convertible beds aren't known for comfort but Coddle's chair and a half is an exception. The wide chair unfolds into a twin bed with sinuous springs and a semi-firm pocket coil mattress. All it takes is a few gentle pulls and sliding the matching ottoman into place for the piece to transform from a handsome, cozy chair to a comfortable bed. The modular chair is made for forging a sleeping space out of even the smallest room without having to roll out a rickety cot or dedicate tons of real estate to a daybed or pullout sofa. The oversized chair, upholstered with your choice of plush velvet, flat weave (what I have) or soft boucle, isn't just a handy bed when needed, but my new favorite place to curl up with a book or laptop and chill. It takes about 5 seconds to turn this chair into a bed. David Watsky/CNET There are other, cheaper convertible-style chairs, and I've tried a few, but the Switch chair has a premium feel and mattress that's supportive enough to sleep on for more than a night. I did a deep dive into reviews before taking the plunge and my research paid off, landing me with with a spare bed that helped my dad get the "best night sleep he's had in weeks" during a visit in June. I opted for sturdy flat weave fabric and I don't regret it. David Watsky/CNET Coddle's Switch Convertible Chair and a Half is currently down to $899 -- $400 off the normal price -- until July 6, along with the mostly direct-to-consumer brand's full-sized sofas, sectionals and loveseats.
