I wanted to suggest an interesting solution to small spaces, a futon!  Futons are actually fabulous solutions to solve many space and budget issues.  I have posted a few pictures below of very different settings that all have futons working well for them.

Many people think of the cheap black metal frames, when they hear the word “futon,” but there are many different styles of futons, and the frame, mattress, and cover all have several different options.

While many futons do have a metal frame, they’re also available in wood.  Wooden frames use slats to support the mattress which results in a more even and therefore a more comfortable, surface to lie on.

You can even get them with several different exterior fabrics, including leather, and numerous fillings. Some even have bed springs like traditional mattress, while others are made of space-age memory foam. They come in all levels of firmness from the most soft to the most firm, which means you can find one that suits you.

The last part of the futon is the futon cover.  They are an essential part, as they keep the futon safe and clean. They come in many different materials and designs.
