are sofa beds comfortable?
This Site Might Help You. RE: are sofa beds comfortable?
I've never slept on a sofa bed that was comfortable. The mattresses are too thin for comfort. However, most of the time, the main purpose of a sofa bed is convenience, not comfort. They are a furniture item meant for occasional or short-term use. I think if you are going to Paris, you can stand a sofa bed for two weeks! I know I could, unless it was paper thin and I was sleeping on metal bars. In that case, I'd buy a blanket or a cheap mattress foam pad to plump it up a bit. I think you'll be okay. Concentrate on enjoying Paris!
Comfortable for sleeping? Depends on the quality. Some are awful -- Like the soft, folding mattresses with a metal bar underneath that you feel on your back all night. Or the solid foam that flips out -- and is as hard as sleeping on the floor. But some of the newer ones can be really comfortable for sleeping. We have a Lazyboy sofabed that has an extra inflatable, cloth-covered topper attached. It opens like a regular folding mattress, with springs, but when you inflate the topper, you don't feel any bumps underneath at all. It's kind of like a mini-aerobed on top, with a quiet, quick electric pump. We did pay extra for this, but it is our only guest bed, and everyone who has stayed has been amazed at how comfortable it is. And as far as being a sofa-- it does have good support. - Another problem w/ sofabeds is that they often aren't very comfortable sofas. This one is. Hope this helps.
