The Best Sofas With Hidden Storage ('Cause Our Apartment Is Tiny)

Space is a luxury everywhere, but especially in places such as New York City where a 1-bedroom unit easily costs $3K a month, rat czars are getting appointed, and landlords hold an increasingly cringe, medieval-lord-like power over tenants. One of the biggest space-gobbling perps is the couch. Wouldn't it be nice to have a sectional sofa with hidden storage for linens and blankets? Stop playing Jenga with your bunk milk crates and weathered IKEA bins and start tucking away your goods the same way (we imagine) Sarah Paulson/Dad™ does in her "tiny" Malibu home: in an adult, storage-endowed sofa. Those Squishmallows aren't going to store themselves, so let's find you a comfortable sofa that moonlights as a storage unit.
