Sleeper pullout sofas tend to run more expensive (and to be much heavier, given their interior metal frames), but they’re the type of thing that, if you’re willing to invest in them, will last you for years. For a minimal, high-end couch that you can keep in a guest room (and use for a long time), Wallerstein recommends this couch from buzzy furniture brand Apt2B. “It has a simple modern design, and offers some customization options.”
A similar chair-sized option is this slipcover sofa that Wallenstein suggests if your overnight guest will be sleeping alone: it folds out into a twin mattress using a metal pull-out base (so it runs on the heavier side) but it does meet one of her requirements for a good innerspring mattress: “You want them to be about 5 or 6” thick at minimum.”
