Sofa sleeper - such thing as a comfortable one!?

3 years ago

Looking for a King size sofa sleeper for a spare Bedroom that will only be used 3-4 weeks a year. Would like it to be a little more useful year around, so thought a sleeper sofa could make sense.

Are there any really comfortable ones out there!?

thank you!

No, there are not. But you know what is comfortable? An air mattress! Honestly, buy a regular sofa or daybed with a real mattress, and use an air mattress to make up the difference. You can get very nice ones that come on legs so you’re not crawling on the ground. Look at Frontgate.com. I believe they carry the “upper end.”

Yes there are, but you may not like the price.

The Taylor King Conner is as good as it gets, and Del Starnes, CEO of TK made this his special project. I have had these in my store, they don't use the conventional Leggett and Platt Sleeper Mechs, these are quite unique and you can sleep on them regularly. These are very heavy units and cannot come apart for delivery, over 300lb. You will not be carrying these upstairs to a bedroom.

Right behind the TK is the Hancock and Moore version, which is quite similar to the Taylor King.

Is there such thing as a comfortable futon?
Q

We got rid of our futon because we got such a great mattress it wasn't comfortable to sit on when in upright position. I've found that if you want a futon that is comfortable to sit on you shouldn't get the queen size. The queen size is just too wide. Your feet won't touch the ground and the top is too high in the back. The other thing I figured out is the futons in the store have been sat on and moved up and down etc. so they're broken in. Our new one was so stiff it was impossible to get back to the sitting position from the bed position - also because it had springs and was very heavy. If he's going to sleep on it it will take up the same amount of room as a bed. They are not the easiest things to open and close for one person. If he definitely wants to be able to use it as a couch and a bed you should get a light weight thin mattress. The thicker ones are great as a bed, but not as a couch. Also, how much does he weigh? Unless he's a teenager pushing 180 lbs + he doesn't need the extra springs etc... Just my experience. Our $1000+ futon was sold on Craig's List after hardly ever being used. We now have a couch!

Check out The Sofa Bed Store, you'll get a great mattress and they come apart to fit up stairs. Avoid Ikea if you want it to be comfortable and last, go with Ikea if you need something temporary in my opinion (when in budget of course). I have their most compact model and it arrived in a few boxes, wasn't horrible to assemble (and this meant I could choose what would fit the room, not what would fit my condo's elevator!) I have the Stretch, but they have others that will fit https://www.usa.thesofabedstore.com/collections/the-entire-line-up

@Lisa - so you’re saying that like decoenthusiaste’s photos, but the sofa could be backed up to the foot of the bed barrier and the white table? @Angel- yes that’s the idea that the space would be living room by day- but with the floating sliding divider “wall” if someone wanted privacy during the day, they would just close off that space. But mostly the sliding doors would be open and it would act like a living room until it becomes a bedroom, basically at night. so yes decoenthusiaste’s idea does provide the bed to be basically tucked out of eyesight… “looks” like a living room most of the time. @decoenthusiaste, do you know where to purchase a divider like that? or probably east to construct I would think as it’s very simple. Thank you all for your ideas!! Trying to figure it out. Yes @Angel, apartment condo and Coop rules are just beyond what someone can imagine who isn’t familiar with it or knows someone who deals with it. Ahhhh

We have had an American Leather Comfort sleeper in our guest room for years. Our guests always tell us how comfortable it is, and some of them have encouraged their friends to buy them.

Look for one with a blow up mattress. Try Sherrill.

American Leather uses the same mechanism as the Taylor King and Hancock and Moore, they were first to market with this new concept.
