Sofa upgrade

[Gonzo42]

Our View has a standard jack-knife sofa but DW won't use it due to the channel down the middle for the hinge.

Has anyone upgraded to a sofa where that channel is eliminated or at least reduced greatly?

Do you have enough floor space for a hide-a-bed type sofa? Our Class C has a jackknife but since we don't have a slide, there wouldn't be enough floor space to fold out more. At least not without totally blocking the aisle.

Only the sleeping. DW won't use the overhead bed nor the sofa. She prefers the dinette over either one. On the other hand I can sleep almost anywhere.

Are you uncomfortable when trying to sleep or just sitting?

A swimming noodle split down the center can be placed in the center with a foam mattress pad over it and it no longer feels uncomfortable according to a friend.

Someone told me that they used an air mattress but I have not tried that.

We have room for five to sleep without using it so we have not had to use the sofa to sleep on.

My last RV had one of those Jack Knife sofas and it was the most uncomfortable thing to sleep on,what we used was Something Like This and put a good quality unziped sleeping bag over it then made up a regular bed,sheets and blankets.

It stored away fairly easy and it was a lot better but not great.

Don't like ours but if you need as a bed try an inexpensive egg crate pad on top. It doesn't work well with just a sheet, but if your laying a sleeping bag down, it's not bad.
