American Leather and Room and Board (mattress version) make the most comfortable sleeper sofas. Hands down. We bought our R&B sofa for about $2700 two years ago. Urban Essentials, which carries AL sofas, and R&B are both on 14th St in Logan Circle.

I'm the OP--we just bought a new air mattress to get us through next week's visit, but I'd like to purchase a sleeper in the next couple of months and want to prepare DH for the price. The Devon, that a PP mentioned, is on sale, but I don't love the style of the sofa.

I am bumping this up. Does anyone remember approximately what they paid for their American Leather sleeper sofa?

This one says it was $3000 in 2012 - http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/fuo/4444808446.html

This sleeper sofa is very comfortable. It does not have a metal bar. We bought ours in Alexandria and now several people who have stayed in ours have purchased their own. They are made in the US.

This. We bought ours at creative classics in old town Alexandria.

Sleepersinseattle.com has a huge variety of choices. Their sleeper without the bar is incredibly comfortable-- more comfortable than my own bed. I stayed on it at my MIL's for 3 weeks.

American Leather comfort sleepers really are amazing. Has anyone found a local source that sells them at good prices?

Check out the sleeper sofas by American Leather. You can upgrade to a Tempurpedic mattress in the sofa. I havent bought one yet but we are considering one.

We bought the queen sized Aerobed they have at costco and threw a memory foam topper we already owned over the top. My guests (some of whom are overweight) have all raved about how comfortable it is. When not in use the topper goes back on our bed, and the mattress folds up into a 20 gallon rubbermaid tote.

My friend in NYC has a sofa from Macy's - I think it's the Devon. She did extensive research and ended up with that one, and says that some guests have enjoyed it so much that they ended up buying one too. (she has a 1BR apartment with a lot of guest traffic.) I looked at it and it's pretty nice, especially if you buy during a sale.

Go for a queen sleeper if you have the space- more room.

After a lot of research I ended up getting a day bed with trundle. That way our guests have real twin mattresses to sleep on without any uncomfortable components underneath.

We recently stayed with family and they have a Hemnes daybed from Ikea--converts to a king-sized bed, has storage drawers. We are half your parents' age but complain about aches and pains anyway, and both DH and I found it quite comfortable.

We're thinking about getting a sleeper sofa for our office/guest room. It will mainly be used by our visiting, early 70s parents until the kids stop their frequent night wakings and we can give the grandparents our bedroom/bed. Any ideas? We have a cheap, Coleman blow-up mattress, but it's pretty awful.

I don't want to spend a ton, but I would like something that is actually comfortable for guest to sleep on for about a week.

Thanks!
