Good ol' WalMart has futons for about that price range. But a word of advice: If it is going to get frequent use, get a wooden one, not a metal one. I bought the metal one, and the base only lasted about a year because prolonged sitting and sleeping on it bent the rods under the mattress. It got so uncomfortable I had to toss it and got a twin bed instead. I put a board about 2 feet wide by 6 feet long inside one end of the futon mattress so it could become a backrest, then piled a bunch of throw pillows on it so I could use it as a sofa too. Just dump the throw pillows on the floor, and it's an instant bed.
The type of sofa bed you need depends mainly on it’s usage, so consider how frequently it will be used, who will be using it and where it will go. Don’t prioritize value for money if you’re looking for a long term investment for your main living area. Similarly, check out the less costly options if it’s a temporary buy that is likely to gather dust in your spare room. If you have your heart set on real leather and are willing to put the money in for a high quality investment, make sure you keep it out of direct sunlight it damages everything including leather sofas. If your leather sofa bed is cracking under the pressure of excessive sunlight you can add a conditioning solution to stop it drying up further.
