FINALLY MADE THE DECISION TO SWITCH OUT THE

tends2dogs · ‎05-08-2010

queen size bed in our guest room to a sleeper sofa. It only gets used a couple weeks a year at the most. I want that area back!! LOL I am not used to having so little room in a home. I love it when it comes time to clean it though LOL. Anyway, there are two choices for the sofa I have picked out. One is a memory gel foam and what is a Serta. I laid on both and the foam one is much more comfortable and $200 more. I don't care about that, because I want my daughter and sister to be comfortable when they come.

My question is that the sales rep said people buy the less expensive one and then buy a topper that costs less than $200. I am not sure if it is worth the hassle.

Do any of you have sleeper sofas and what type mattress is on yours? What sort of feedback did you get from your guests?

TIA

how about just getting a sofa and a blow up mattress, I would sooner sleep on one of those than a sleeper sofa, they are really uncomfortable.

If it were me I would just go with the more expensive one. By the time you run around trying to find a suitable topper (that you have no way of knowing if it will be comfortable enough) and you spend the money for it, how much are you really saving in the long run?

I just gave away the bed in my spare room. It hasn't been used in years so why take up the space. I have a very comfortable couch if needed.

I've been taking care of my 88 yr old dad and disabled sister (she lives with Dad). When he can no longer stay in his home, my sister will come live with me. I emptied the other bedroom and will paint soon so it's ready when she needs it.

One more thing I forgot to say before but if you ever want to move a sleeper sofa they about twice as heavy as a regular sofa so they kind of stuck where they put them

ask me how I know🥲

I have to agree with this...some of those inflatable mattresses can be very comfortable...much more so than a sofa bed.

What someone said about uncomfortable sofa sleepers, in my opinion is wrong, in this day and age. My son has a studio apartment, he has the brand American Leather. This company does not only sell leather sofa sleepers, it's just the company's name. It is ranked as one of the most comfortable sleepers out there. They look great have an array of mattresses and they sleep comfortably. My son is on it every night. Check it out. But whatever you do, buy the best mattress possible. You must take your guests' comfort serious. Even if it's one night. I wouldn't buy a topper,knowing the mattress is already inferior.
P.S. Don't forget the Seinfeld episode, where Elaine slept on the sofa sleeper. 😝

Go for the better mattress and no topper. You'll probably never have to replace it.

Toppers can be annoying if they shift, and they do shift.

@tends2dogs I purchased a fairly expensive sleeper sofa for my guest room a couple years ago. It is only for the grandkids who are very young. I didn't get an additional topper. All I cared about was a "waterproof" mattress cover since accidents occasionally happen. Kids always say they are cozy in the bed...so everyone is happy.

@jackthebear They can also get stuck in the hallway at midnight as well. And they can be sold with the house. Don't ask me how I know.
