There was a time when finding a comfortable sleeper sofa was like a search for the Holy Grail. They may have performed two functions, but they were neither a comfortable sofa nor a comfortable bed. Fortunately these times are now in the history books. However, don't be fooled and think that every sleeper sofa is comfortable. There are several things that you need to look for.
Firstly, forget the foam sleeper sofas. These are fine if you want something for a kid who as they weigh so little that they don't compact the foam. If you are an adult and try to sleep on one of these, however fine they feel at he beginning of the night, but the end you will be stiff and you might as well have slept on the floor.
Metal Beds Queen
So with these out of the picture you are left with the metal framed pull out beds. These usually fold up and slot into the base of the sofa. Then the sofa seat is placed on top. The advantage of this is that the cushions for the sofa and the mattress for the bed are independent. This means that even if the sofa cushions are in need of a little TLC you probably still have a perfectly comfortable bed. The other advantages is that the top cushions and the mattress can all be replaced when needed as they are all separate pieces.
If you invest in a well made and hence comfortable sleeper sofa bed then you should get a mattress which is adequate, however this is not always the case. If you have found your perfect sleeper sofa but are worried that the mattress is a little too thin then don't panic. There is a simple solution to this problem; the memory foam topper.
Everyone has heard of memory foam and how amazingly comfortable it is, well, if you can't afford the mattress, they now make mattress toppers. These are great for adding a little extra comfort to a sofa bed and when not in use then can be rolled up quite tightly so they don't have to take up to much space.
If you are going to get a topper for your mattress it is certainly worth buying on line as these are much cheaper than in retail outlets. So, the comfortable sleeper sofa is very achievable, and whats more important, it is achievable without major compromise.
