Sofa bed mattresses are notorious for being uncomfortable. If you want to be the best host in the world and ensure the comfort of your guests in every possible way, and that includes the comfort of their sleep, this mattress is probably the last you would want to choose.
The upside to using this type of mattress is that it is relatively cheaper. Also, it offers a more convenient way of storing. It functions both as a mattress and a sofa so it takes up relatively less space.
Double Bed Mattress
To make your guests feel more comfortable when they crash in your place, you can do a couple of things to make your mattress more comfortable. Here are a few steps you can follow:
Step 1: Complete sleeping arsenals. Get comfortable mattress toppers and pillows. If you have the budget, you can pick the mattress technologies purported to provide the most comfortable sleep. Latex toppers and memory foam mattress toppers are good choices as these are known to get rid of back pains and provide the best comfort possible. You should also consider using the plushest pillows.
Step 2: Have you seen those egg crate mattress covers? These can actually improve the comfort of your guests. You can place them below the sofa bed. You can remove them just as soon as you place the sofa back as it will look weird with it below the mattress but the comfort will eclipse the slightly unpleasant look.
Step 3: Some sofa beds are inflatable. If you have this, you should place some sort of mattress adhesive at the bottom of the bed to prevent it from slipping. There are other air inflatable guest beds with sticky bottoms but if you have not bought one, you can try this trick.
Step 4: Get a thicker mattress pad. This will help add up to the height of the guest bed to make it feel as if it is a real bed. You should also place the mattress in a private area so your guests can really feel as if they are in their home.
So you see, there are a lot of merits to having a sofa bed at home. The next time you purchase this type of mattress, you should consider first the comfort of the people who will use it rather than how it would tie up with the design of the room. But if you already have this mattress at home, just spruce up its comfort with the steps mentioned above.
