We have a sofa bed that is confortable for sitting but not sleeping. The mattress is an incredibly flimsy 3" thin coil that can be squeezed between your fingers like a marshmallow. We bought it as part of pur rental furniture.
Now that we are here, we started shopping for a more comfortable alternative. We looked at Murphy Beds, and thought the sideways one was a good alternative. Not so high against the wall, but of course longer along the wall. We salso saw the prices and we did not want to spend $2000 plus to buy one.
So we looked for sleepers with a quality mattress. Most places had the same one we already had, but at Kanes in Ocala (rte 200) we found sleepers with different quality mattresses. They had 3 levels of quality, the junk one, a moderate one, and one with a "temperpedic" style mattress. The temperpedic was really comfortable. Since we really liked the color of our orignal sofa, we went to Walmart and bought a 4" thick memory foam mattress topper and our old sofa bed is a good as a regular bed now.
