I'm going through a divorce now and sometimes I'll spend 2 or 3 days with them when they camp close to home since I can still commute to work. I'm just having a hard time figuring out what the best option is for sleeping.
They have the hide a bed air mattress couch and also the u shaped dinette. Both are kind of a pain to setup and take down, especially since they purchased a pleather coffee table that matches the pleather of the stock TT furniture. The dinette requires pulling out extendable seats on either end of the u dinette so you can use the hidden cushions to finish off the mattress. No matter which bed I choose I simply throw a sleeping bag over it.
Which bed would you choose? Sometimes I wish they simply got a jack knife couch so it would be a lot easier to just make it into a bed and then back to a couch again. It seems it would be a lot easier.
Your thoughts?

That was before someone brought the idea of leaving the deflated airbed on the couch when folding the couch back up. If I can leave the air bed there instead of folding it up putting it in the drawer then I might just go that route.

When we have adult company we put up a tent for them. We could sleep ten but we could not live ten.

Dinette: Depends... Some make for short beds. That's okay for me (I'm short) but not everyone. Some are longer, making for a comfortable bed. They do vary.
Air mattress: Fairly comfortable, assuming you have someplace to put it, or it's built in.

Six for drinks
Four for dinner
Two for bed

If you can sleep somewhere that doesn't inconvenience the owner, sleep there!

Yes, literally within 2 minutes you have a full bed, but the pain comes when you put all the goodies on top of it (mattress pad, sheets, and the like) that really make it super comfortable. As much of a pain as completely stripping and reassembling your bed at home.
Again, worth it!
