2014 JayFlight Hide-A-Bed

We are looking into getting a 2014 JayFlight 29RLDS. We have not seen a 2014 model yet but have looked at a 2013. I heard that Jayco went from the air mattress to a tri-fold Hide-A-Bed. Does anyone have this? Is it comfortable? Is it easy and quick to set up? We have 2 boys ages 5 and 8 and are thinking of having them sleep on it on family trips. When we go on trips with friends, the kids will probably want to sleep in tents with their friends. We currently have a 24' Jayco with bunks but think that in the long run the bunks will become wasted space. Since we plan to keep the trailer for a long time, we want something that will be best for the long run. Thanks for any input.

    I agree. We have a 2014 WhiteHawk and our little one sleeps on the pull out every night. Sometimes my husband or I sleep with him and both of us find it reasonably comfortable. I like that there is storage place to keep pillow/sleeping bag/sheets/blanket while the bed is in couch mode and that you can slide the couch cushions under there while in bed mode.

    Set up is super easy. We are thrilled with the hide a bed and it was probably our #1 reason for waiting to get a 2014 over the 2013 (we bought back in early May before the 2014 models were out).
