Which is better for a small living room?

The Kodie. At 76 inches long it is 16 inches shorter than the 92-inch Byron, which matters in tight rooms.

Which mattress is more comfortable for guests?

The Byron's 6-inch memory foam suits occasional guests and side sleepers who like contouring. The Kodie's inner-spring gives a more traditional, bouncier feel.

Is the Byron worth the savings over the Kodie?

Yes for most buyers. It costs $979 less at current prices and adds washable covers, storage, a 5-year warranty and a 120-day trial.

The Byron backs its frame with a 5-year warranty and has replaceable, washable covers. Birch Lane does not state a warranty for the Kodie, so the Byron is the safer long-term bet.

Can I wash the covers?

On the Byron, yes. All covers are removable and machine washable. The Kodie's linen upholstery is not stated as removable.

Does either include storage?

The Byron has a hidden compartment under the sleep surface. The Kodie has no stated storage.
