Photo © Dania Sleep sofas are practical, but costly. Futons are inexpensive, but clunky. Here's two alternatives that are both affordable and stylish. • The Kiel Futon looks like a conventional sofa. Drop the two side panels on the back and you've got a chic, modern-looking loveseat. Drop the center panel and--voila!--it's a bed that measures a comfortable 80 inches long and 49 inches wide. The Kiel Futon is available in the central and western U.S. at Scandinavian Designs, Dania and Plummers stores for just $349. • The Flip Flop convertible sofa from CB2 is a smart-looking sofa with two back cushions that can drop down separately or together, giving you a sofa, chaise or bed with just a flick of the wrist; $999.
