Comfortable sofa bed

[Anonymous]

Oxymoron or can one be found? Looking for something for our walk out basement that is going to have to be a guest room when baby #2 arrives and takes over the current guest room as her own. Basement currently also serves as a TV room for us and sometimes a playroom for DC#1, so something we could fold up makes MUCH more sense than just bringing the guest bed down here.

Murphy beds are more comfortable than sofa beds because they have a full sized mattress. Can you fit a Murphy bed?

American Leather. We've had it for 6 years. Very well made and comfortable. They also make ones with fabric upholstery.

No, that wouldn't work in our space.

We just got a sofa bed at Haverty's made by American Leather. It's called the Tiffany 24/7. It's not a traditional mattress. I haven't slept on it but our guests said it was very comfortable. Seems much sturdier than other sofa beds. They also have that model at Macy's.

We have one from room and board that is comfortable. Expensive though (around $3k). You can try them out at their store on 14th st in dc.

American Leather is the best. We have one that's 7 years old and super comfortable still.

That sounds like consensus to me. Okay, we're off to check out American Leather, thanks everyone!!

Not sure if you're still looking or not, but feel the need to chime in, too. We've had our American Leather sofa bed for 4 years. It is fantastic to sleep on, but it's a really uncomfortable couch -- so much so that we're trying to get rid of it because no one ever uses it as a couch. It's too firm, the cushions are oddly-shaped (almost like they're overstuffed), and they gradually slip out from the base. Maybe there are other models that are more comfy. Can't remember the name of our model but it's 2 big cushions on seat and on back with super thin arms.

Hope you have better luck and hope that AL has improved their designs.

I'm still looking, and thanks for letting me know this. We haven't been out to any stores yet, so I will keep this in mind when we do.
