I sleep on a japanese futon with tatami mats.We fold it most days, and on the days we don’t it looks ugly, but because of the tatami mats, the space in front of the bed is unusable. Sofa beds can be really easy to fold up because of springs/mechanism built into the frame. My only concern would the quality of the mattress, because they can sometimes be really soft and unsupportive. I did a week vacation where we folded up the couch every day and it was easier and less awkward than dealing with the futon. Ultimately if you need the space it should force you to do the chore!
