Are sleeper sofas comfortable?

Brosis

We're debating on getting one of these (v.s. a new regular sofa) mostly for DH.  The new baby will be in a bassinet in our room for the 1st few months & if he/she is noisy, my light-sleeper husband won't get any sleep at all.  We have a small house, so there are no spare rooms he could go to except the living room.

I remember my parent's sleeper sofa (20+ yrs ago) was horribly uncomfortable w/a metal bar & springs poking into your back.  Has technology improved since then or would a regular couch be a better bet?

TIA!

My ILs recently bought one that's actually not bad. But I know it was pricey.

We've never actually slept on the mattress on our sleeper sofa, but I will say, in terms of a sofa, I wish we'd gotten a regular one.  It's become kind of saggy in the middle from use and so we kind of sink into it more than we would if it were a regular couch.  If you'll be replacing your regular couch and will be using it a lot I wouldn't recommend it.

We actually bought a really comfortable futon and in our last house, DH spent most nights on it. We spent some money on a good mattress for it.

I find them uncomfortable for both sitting and sleeping!

We got a dual reclining sofa from La-Z-Boy and it is fabulous for sitting and sleeping.

Ok, the pricey but comfy sofabed was by American Leather. It's TempurPedic.

Thanks, all!  We might want to go with a couch &/or recliner instead!

I agree go with a recliner.
