Are there hideaway beds/sofa-sleeper beds that are comfortable?

[edprush]

I'm looking into buying one instead of buying both a bed and a sofa. I was just wondering if the fold-up bed in them is comfortable enough to sleep on long term.

I have slept on one that is about 30 years old and it is fine for a night or two then it slowly gives you a neck/backache.

Thanks.

Do you live in a studio or something?

Or do you just want to have a couch in your room? lol...

I'm sure there are comfortable ones, but I don't know if they could ever be as good as a real bed.

I've never found them comfortable.

what about a futon or a day bed?

we have a futon instead of a couch in our apartment for guests to sleep on, and no one has ever complained about it.

I spend eight months on one. I'll never do that again.

Not the greatest, especially for long-term/daily (nightly) use. They start to break down pretty quickly too, if you weigh very much it would be even worse.

In order for it to work properly for sleeping the matress has to be firm.

A firm mattress does not fold very well.

If you are short on space, you could think about getting one of the full/queen size air bed - Walmart $65-100. Electric pump and you are ready in under 3 minutes.

They will do as well as a mattress.

I have used them for 2-3 years as a substitute while I am living in empty apartments away from home for 3-6 moths at a time.

what's wrong with the floor?

Sofa beds suck. Nuff said.

Think about it, how comfortable can a mattress be if you can fold it up. And if u dont go the mattress route, how wooden frame isn't that comfy either

I've never slept on one that didn't have a bar digging into my lower back.

I actually had one of those beds that fold straight up into a cabinent once. Used a standard full size mattress. Cabinent was as tall as the bed and a little wider. You can find them, just have to look hard. . .

There called Murphy Beds and are pretty cool. I had one in a studio apt while living in AZ.

maybe I'll have to go the air-bed/mattress route.

I'm just trying to save a few $$$ and I don't want to carry both a bed and a sofa up three flights of stairs.

The one that I mentioned deflated into the size of a duffle bag. Most actually come with a carry bag also
