Recommend a Futon or Sofa

Looking for a futon or sofa that I can easily lay down upon with head on an armrest. Something around 60" is obviously too short so I'm looking for something in the 72" range but can go up to 76". I have 100" of space but I need 24" on the opposite side of the foyer. No preference for fabric vs leather. It would be nice if it was a futon or a convertible bed sofa but that's not required. This will be sort of a temporary futon/sofa so my budget is low(ish) which means nothing fancy. It would have to be able to be disassembled because it has to make it through a ~2ft wide doorway or else I have to bring it in through a normal doorway with maybe 3' of clearance in front of the doorway (fence on the other side of the walkway).

Edit: Loveseat okay too.

Look at Targets online store. They sell some pretty affordable furniture but its a limited selection. Its better quality than Ikea but its definitely not 1st run quality. Good apartment stuff.
 
I'm still debating what to get.

I went to a local furniture store the other day and I fell in love with the reclining loveseats. Although the power ones would be nifty I think a manual recliner would be the one to go with. Does anyone have any experience with these...are they worth it and is reliability generally bad or or good? Also not sure whether I like the console or not. I want to be able to lay down on the loveseat but I suppose the recline feature sort of covers that.

Thanks.

Edit: If I went with a recliner I would probably have to forgo a coffee table so maybe a center console would make sense. There might also be an issue getting it into the middle room unless disassembly is possible though.

Not a fan of reclining furniture. Reliability is iffy, especially with cheaper stuff, and it's heavy as hell.
 
Giving wayfair a look. It appears there is a lot to sift through.

I really liked the Valeton cream reclining loveseat at Ashley furniture but it requires a minimum 32" entry way and the doorways into room 2 are not wide enough. Therefore, I think I will have to go with something that can be taken apart easily, or something that is shipped in pieces like an Ikea.

I'm not sure who else makes furniture that requires assembly like Ikea (other than places like Walmart/Target) so I've narrowed it down to the following:

[FONT=&quot]Stockholm leather (83-1/8") $1799 (full grain leather)

[FONT=&quot]Stockholm sofa (83-1/8") $899[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Kivik loveseat (74-3/4") $579[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Karlstad sofa (80-3/4") $399[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Tidafora loveseat (74-3/4") $579[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Knislinge sofa (80-3/4") $299[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Timsfors loveseat (68-7/8") $879 (top-grain leather on inner surfaces)
[/FONT]


Does anyone have experience with any of these sofas?

I've done some research and found I need to stay away from bonded leather (at least for armrests and seat surfaces.
