Sofa beds

Hello 

 

I just wondered if anyone has any advice on sofa beds, what are the most comfortable style - pull out or click clac? And do you add a mattress topper to make them more comfortable? Any advice would be very much welcome 🙂 

 

thanks

It would be to go in a two bedroom apartment each bedroom has a double bed therefore I was hoping to use the sofa bed to increase occupancy from 4 to 6 how often it would get booked out for 6 with a sofa bed I’m not sure! I think the pull out sofa beds with a good mattress  topper are definitely going to be the best option 😊

@Natasha388 I have both in my listing: one pullout sofa and one klik klack style futon from Ikea. They don't make the same model anymore, but it's like this:

I have the best mattress option they have available, the pocket coil version, and I find it to be more comfortable than the pullout. The mattress is way thicker.  As a back sufferer, I hate most beds: I've never found a pullout or futon I'm really happy with, and most of them are torture. However, I've slept on that same Ikea one at a friend's on a number of occasions, and it's the best I've found. Any pullout I've found just has a really thin mattress: it's impossible to avoid. You could try offering a memory foam topper, but trying to get people to put sheets on the bed, let alone a topper, seems challenging enough. 

Hi Natasha, We saw your post and thought we'd share how our client arranges his sofa with you on airbnb:

Based on years of custom sofa making experience, we'd say the most comfortable types are the sleeper types. A mattress topper is not necessary. However, the type of memory foam used is crucial.

Cocoon Sofa Beds are the best. Proper bed mattress built in to sofa bed. Designed for larger frames too.
