Does anyone know where I can get a comfortable sofa bed?

Hi haribo Just a thought, most sofa beds are not built for comfort as they are intended for occasional use. What might work is to get a reasonably priced one and then perhaps buy a topper for it which could help your back. If you want to message me I can point you in the direction of some good value options

Just a thought though my friend, is it really essential that they have separate room ? I know of brothers who have shared rooms for most of their lives and it hasn't been a problem, I hate to think that you who need proper supportive bedding are being the one to have to give up your room !

Hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, I just care about you and don't want your health even more compromised than it already is !

Hi there - comfortable sofa beds certainly don't come cheap, expect to pay around £700 to £1500 for a good quality model. Most better quality sofa beds will have a memory foam or pocket sprung mattress, the lowest quality to look at will have luxury open coil sprung mattresses but the small cost saving isn't worth going for this type.

Get plenty of ideas on different designs at sofabedgallery.co.uk

Hope this is of help !

Sofa beds are no good if you have a bad back. Try getting a good quality day bed. I currently have 2 which are made of wood and then I purchsed new mattresses for. I have them in my living room and guests sleep on them or I do when fall asleep in front of the TV. However think this through I did this when my husband and I split and had to live in the same house. It is not just sleeping it is also where do you put everything else and what do you do if someone spills something on the sofa oops your bed?

Would it not be easier to keep the boys together and let them play with their toys in the living room maybe bunk beds would help. Is your room bigger then theirs then swap and you have a single bed as well.

Or what about buying a garden shed for your Son to play in.

Whatever you do make sure you have a good mattress as my Gran always said good mattress and good shoes as you spend the day in one or the other.

i would be careful when you choose a sofa bed as a lot of them are not suitable for constant use as a bed. you need to get a metal action one with a sprung matress .

I used to sell them when I worked, when you try them which you must do try the confort in all positions you sleep and do this for a while not just on/ off.

also bear in mind that a sofa bed will be lower so if you have arthritis etc it will be difficult to get up from.

hope this helps

Hi haribo

I haven't been posting for a while but always like to read everyone elses posts. I gave up sleeping in a bed nearly a year ago as its too painful and cant sleep so I sleep on a recliner in the sitting room. It might not seem ideal but it all depends on what way we are comfiest with the fibro. I cant lie flat and propped up is best for me and I get such a good sleep on the recliner. I have tried a sofa bed and i definately wouldnt recommended it (though mines wasnt a really expensive one) it made me suffer even more. I know where your coming from with the boys needing their own space I did the same for my girls when they were young but why dont you do that for the boys but still sleep in the bed with your youngest. He still has his own room and you still get to sleep in a bed and save you money.

Let me know how you get on

Just a suggestion - have you got space to put a memory foam topper in the daytime? Maybe on top of your son's bed? Then whatever sort of sofa bed you use, you can just put the topper on at night before you go to sleep.
