The mattress on my sofa pullout has always been bad, even with a mattress topper.My daughter and husband are coming for a visit at thanksgiving and I need to get them a hotel, for about $500 or spend $$ on making the mattress good enough to sleep on.I was thinking about one of those nice air beds but was not sure if it would work when the sofa is closed up.Let me knowThanks

500 dollar hotel bill is money flushed, and you still need a new mattress...Put the 500 into a mattress and you get many years of "hotels", saving the need to do it again next time extra accommodations are needed.

Thanks Bob.How about and answer on what type of mattress ?

Some of the sofa sleepers come with air type mattress from the factory. The only issues will be the built in motor on some of the mattresses and any sharp spots on the bed frame. My vote is for a new mattress.We have a couple of Aerobed mattresses we use for guests. The guests have indicated the mattresses are comfortable.I've used them for naps from time to time...no complaints

Sofa Beds are by design lousy.....what kind of mattress can be folded in thirds and still be comfortable???BIL come to visit for a week while we were at Kennedey Space Center for shuttle launch.Sofa bed was brand new.never slept on.After first night we went and bought an Aerobed MattressPump it up---placed on top of sofa bed mattress at night,...deflate/stow during day time.

I bought a Coleman air mattress at Walmart. Just throw it on top of sofa mattress. Works great.

What would the guest prefer? As a guest I would pay for my own hotel/motel over a sleep sofa any day.

And thanks for giving that humor!
I have always been a joker, it's a family trait from my mothers side. Life was always entertaining when mom was around. Never knew what she was going to pull next!
We need more humor in this world.
