Since the nursery will double as a guest room, we needed a sleeping solution that would fit into the not-so-big space already bursting with baby gear. From the moment I laid eyes on the picture below, I was set on a white sofa.
Easy enough, right? Sure, but add in the requirements of a pull-out bed and slipcover (the only way I could ever see managing white upholstery with a baby) and your options quickly become limited. An exhaustive search produced these 5 results:
After stopping by all the stores to see them in person, Ed and I agreed that 1, 2 and 3 were more cottagey and shabby chic than we were going for. Ultimately, we decided on 5 - the Metro from Room & Board. Specifically, the 75", 2 cushion, full sleeper sofa. It even came with an unanticipated bonus. The sofa itself didn't have to be white, so we were able to choose a different fabric that will hopefully help transition it down the road from the nursery to another part of the house.
So the sofa will look like this...
So the sofa will look like this...
...and be slipcovered in this bright white fabric.
And now we wait patiently for the expected Christmas Eve delivery date!

Oh the couch dilemma! Its so hard finding one that fits your needs. We just bought a metro sofa too :) We love it, but ours is 3 cushion.
We have a sofa from Room and Board, and I love it. It's held up really well. It's nice that you can have something other than white for later! You might want to think about Scotchguarding the slipcover if the R&B people recommend it. We didn't with our gray, but I have done some lighter colored pieces of furniture and I think that has saved them some dingy aging.
I like the couch you chose. And to have another option for later is even better!
