Couchs that turn to beds/Class C suggestions

We are moving up from a truck camper to a Class C. But we really want to stay in the 24-26ft range. Our priority is inside room so we have been looking at, as an example, Winnebego View 24H among others. While they have a couch and dinnette which give plenty of sitting space some have no beds so you have to use the couch which coverts to a bed. Our questions are:
1. Is there room for 2 to sleep on them.
2. How comfortable are they?

I would also welcome suggestions on 24-26 class c motorhomes with 2 slideouts. Bedroom and living room. I don't want one where the dinnette slides out but the hallway is narrow because the bathroom does not slide out. We would really like to find one where the rear bedroom slides out to the rear along with a 2nd slide which would be the entire wall on one side. Not sure if that exist.
Thanks for your help.

    I had the same problem, in spades. I have serious foot problems, and the Tiger's ladder has very narrow rungs that were unbearably painful. I slept poorly on the couch. Finally thought about it, and found a pair of slippers / suede loafers at WM seveal years ago that I _just_ use in the camper. They have pretty thick rigid soles. I climb into the bunk and take them off just before my feet go onto the covers. I stow mine in an overhead cubby while sleeping. An $11 solution that's worked well for about 6 years now.

    At the Tacoma RV Show we saw a 24' Winnebago on a Sprinter chassis. The unique new feature is a slideout out the rear of the RV for the queen size bed. For us it seemed to be a great idea which kept the overall length short but still provided a walk around bed.

    3. Lie down on top and get a good night's sleep.
    Even a full time bed needs a new mattress.

    Lol

    That reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine sleeps on the pullout bed at Jerrys mom and dads.

    Yep thats the way it feels to sleep on one.

    1. Is there room for 2 to sleep on them. Not really.
    2. How comfortable are they? Not very. I do sleep on mine but I lay a memory foam pad over it first.

    The cabover bed is more comfortable but I don't like climbing the ladder with my bare feet. If you're used to a comfy, easy to access TC queen sized bed, you will probably be disappointed. OTOH, Born Free has optional twin sofa/beds that incline. Check out their web site.
