Any suggestions about inflatable sofa bed in TT?

There must be different types of inflatable sofa beds. We had a Flexsteel model that was the most comfortable sofa bed we've ever slept on. The Flexsteel model was half mattress and half inflatable. It had a screw on inflator that filled the mattress in about 30 seconds. It took less than two minutes to fold out the bed and inflate it.

Perhaps that is the issue. We also have the flex-steel model with the electric inflate and deflate feature. Very easy in my opinion.

I'm on the other end of the issue; we hated our old jacknife sofa in our old trailer. Our new trailer came with the inflatable sofa that is pretty comfortable, the kids love it, but it takes longer to set up, maybe 5 minutes. No issues with it though.

We have used our inflatable mattress a couple of times and after we figured it out, no problem at all. The couch is ZOK for comfort but we do have 2 lazy boys that we sit in to watch tV. Our friendss have said it sleeps well. Take it up and down a few times before discarding it. If you require 2 beds some of the time I honestly don't know of a better alternative.

Using the words futon and comfortable in the same day should be a crime. :)

The sofa itself is comfortable, especially after I detached the back cushions so that they can be moved around. We need two beds and have been using the dinette for our second one. I had new cushions made for the dinette and we also have a memory foam pad for it. It is comfortable for sleeping, but the constant putting it up and down is irritating. I was hoping that some of you had found a magic solution to the sofa-bed problem. lizzie

We ran in to the same issue... teenagers hated it, so bride and I gave it a try. Gone before next camp. Replaced with comfortable futon/couch, assembled in the rig. RV industry peeps must not use the furniture they foist on the public.... many (if not all) end up replacing something that fails the comfort test.

good luck.

Hey Rink ~ How difficult was the dual recliner to get through the door?

No problem at all. Just make sure you buy one with removable backs. Measure your door width and carton the sofa comes in before buying.

The inflatable mattress that came with ours works better on the floor than on the couch as a bed. If hours is removable like ours, try it on the floor.
