'Tis the season for exchanging gifts, festive feasts, and - inevitably - some spontaneous sleepovers. The holiday season is best spent in the company of friends and family, which is why it's quite likely you'll end up hosting friends unexpectantly over the next month. An impromptu visit from your nearest and dearest needn't be stressful though, as long as you're prepared for such eventualities.
You probably already have enough spare towels and sheets, and a stocked fridge is a given this time of year - the real question is, do you have space for your unexpected guests to sleep? Not all of us are fortunate enough to have a guestroom for such visits, but the good news is, a spare bedroom isn't essential. The humble sleeper sofa can be a real lifesaver this time of year, transforming your living room into a stand-in bedroom in just a matter of minutes.
