Hi all,I'm looking at a 2015 Winnebago View 24m. This unit has a sofa that lifts out to make a bed. It does not look very comfortable to sleep on. I think if I had it I would want to put some sort of foam topper on it. Does anyone have any ideas, hopefully from experience, about these kinds of folding beds? My back aches just looking at it. lolOtherwise this coach has everything we are looking for.Many thanks in advance for your feedback or comments.Steve

Our Class C also has a couch which makes into a bed, we purchased a foam topper from Camping World and it works fine. We store the topper in the shower when it's not being used. Actually after you get used to it, we found that just placing a quilt or down comforter on top of the couch surface made a perfectly good sleeping arrangement and the comforter folded up into a nice small package when not in use.

I'm not sure what kind you have, a hide-a-bed, or a jack knife (kind of lke a futon). Our jack knife sofa is fairly comfortable for one person. I like to use a thick mattress pad. A latex foam pad would be better but storage may be an issue.

The sofa bed makes out to a 60 by 80 inch bed. It's a good size for a small unit .

Sitting on the cushion can give you an idea of how comfortable the actual cushions will be to sleep. The awkward part can be the split between the two cushions - there might be too much separation between them, or they might be at slightly different heights. As mentioned, a thick mattress pad or quilt might be enough to compensate if the separation or difference is minor.

Try lying on it before you buy?If the cushions are unsatisfactory (size, shape, thickness, softness, firmness, etc.) you can get an upholstery shop to make different ones.
