Has anyone stayed at the Hyatt House in King of Prussia? I am trying to find out if the sofa beds are comfortable enough for older people who tend to get achy on uncomfortable mattresses. hotel sofabed mattresses are not as comfortable as regular bed mattresses. I personally would not like to sleep on one, and I'm not even that "old" LOL I haven't stayed at that one but assuming they are the same as other Hyatts, for anyone over 80 lbs, no. Any more weight and you compress the mattress right on to that lovely bar in the middle. I think there is no such thing as a comfortable sofa bed. I haven't been to Hyatt House, but, for whatever this is worth, I slept on a hotel sofabed for one night about a year ago. It wasn't as bad as I'd expected, but I was happy to switch rooms and get a real bed the next day. To give you some perspective, I'm a younger person who tends to get achy on uncomfortable mattresses. Actualy, there are such things as comfortable sofa beds where you don't feel the bar at all (I was shopping for a sofa bed recently and was astonished at how much better they can be now) but whether this property has one is anyone's guess.
I doubt it, though We have a family of 5, so have a lot of experience with hotel sofa beds and I would not recommend them at all for an older person unless they are very light weight, definitely not if you are thinking of two people on one mattress. They are do-able for one or two nights for a lightweight person, but that's about it. Rollaways are a better option if you can get one. -:- Message from TripAdvisor staff -:-This topic has been closed to new posts due to inactivity.

As I'm reluctant to pay more than a grand for something with what seems to be a lower spec than it used to be a decade ago, I set about researching alternatives.
There are certain questions you'll need to ask at the outset, such as what type of mattress you want. Pocket sprung are generally good, with the more springs the better. Memory foam tends to divide sleepers more with its lasting impression that moulds to the body. Sitting pretty: Choosing the right sofa-bed can be a bit of minefieldAlso, what type of sofa cushions do you want on the sofa itself? Softer ones that you need to plump daily or more durable ones that do not require much attention?It is also worth making a decision about the sofa-bed mechanism, with my preferred option being the sofa converting into a bed in one easy movement with wooden slats to provide additional back support.Interior designer Sarah Ward, of Sarah Ward Associates, recommends investing money so that you get the exact product you want to ensure the comfort of your guests.She said: 'The thickness of the mattress and the mechanism will dictate the overall height of the sofa. A corner will unit make the product seem more generous and luxurious.
And remember that the bed size will be governed by the seating area within the arms of the sofa.'Sofa Workshop prides itself on its bespoke service. There are set sofa-bed designs to choose from but these can then be altered according to your requirements - for example, if you want higher arms, it will build these for you. And while it has a choice of fabrics, you can even use your own. So say you bought some fabric from Laura Ashley, you can ask for the sofa to be covered in that material - so long as it is upholstery fabric and adheres to fire regulations. However, the depth of the cheapest mattress option available from Sofa Workshop is just 2.5cms. Sofa Workshop insists this is for one-off guest use and that the everyday sofa-bed mechanism has a 10cm thick mattress and wooden slats. However, it is not pocket sprung. The mattress on the Sofa Workshop Jude sofa-bed is 10cm thick and is on wooden slats.Hitting Marks & Spencer on Oxford Street at peak shopping time was always going to be a bad move.
But strapped for time, I headed to the furniture department at the top of the central London store. I've had an Abbey sofa-bed from Marks for the past 10 years, and I have been more than pleased with it - but it has done a good stint and it is time for it to be replaced. After choosing a different fabric, I was about to pay when I decided to check on the size of the mattress. It was a deal breaker as it is no longer 10cm, but a mere 6cm. An M&S spokesperson said: 'Our Abbey sofa range is a firm favourite with our customers and we have sold it for over 15 years. We are always looking at ways to improve our products, and our Abbey sofa-bed now has a fully sprung base and slimmer mattress that offers better support and more comfort.' The M&S Abbey sofa-bed has seen its mattress shrink in size from 10cm to 6cm.Bishopstrow storage sofa-bed, £1,887, www.willowandhall.co.ukFrom the moment I walked into Willow & Hall's stunning showroom in Chiswick, I knew that the experience of buying a sofa-bed had turned a corner.
A keen and energetic showroom assistant began with showing me the three types of mattresses on offer, from the 14cm open spring model with interconnected springs and pocket sprung mattress with individual springs (which is more suited to two people) through to a memory foam base at 12cm, which is apparently the most popular option. The easy mechanism means conversion into a bed is with one easy fold out movement. There is also a choice of cushions - luxury ones that need plumping every day or more hard wearing ones. This design also comes with storage under the chaise, offering a perfect place for pillows and duvets. Ordering on the website isn't smooth as it could be. The mattress on the Willow and Hall Bishopstrow chaise storage sofa-bed has an impressive 14cm mattress.Some of Heal's sofas are stunning and so it was disappointment to see they don't all translate into sofa-beds. So while some of their sofa-beds are large and full of plump cushions, their sofa-beds have a more modern and angular feel.
For example, the Cumulous corner sofa is not available in a sofa bed format. Heal's seems to be missing a trick on this front and if this product was available, it would have been at the top of my list. A spokesman for Heal's said: 'All our sofa-beds have pocket sprung mattresses, of varying size depending on the style. They are designed in Denmark and whereas standard sofa-beds can be either a bed or a sofa, our styles are more multifunctional - for example the Knap sofa bed can be a sofa, a day bed (half up, half down) or a bed. You can also vary the seat back recline between full upright and gentle recline offing many ways of using these versatile pieces of furniture.' The sofa-beds at Heal's have pocket sprung mattresses, of 'varying size depending on the style'.John Lewis offers an alternative to the traditional sofa-bed design. The bed is pulled out from the main unit and a sheet can be put over the whole area including the chaise unit. The foam mattress is aimed at occasional use and the chaise end unit offers a storage area.
The mattress is 8cm deep. Jo Unsworth, upholstery buyer at John Lewis said 'Customers may not always have a spare room available, so are increasingly keen to ensure that their sofa-beds are as aesthetically pleasing as possible, which is partly why this model is one of our most popular. This sofa-bed is also particularly comfortable, due to its thick mattress, so a good buy for a customer looking for a sofa-bed that will be used on a regular basis. It also has internal storage to allow bedding to be stored in and is available in a number of sizes and a huge array of different fabrics.' The mattress on the John Lewis Sacha large sofa bed is 8cm thick.If you don't have several thousand pounds to spend on a sofa-bed with a pocket sprung mattress and wooden slats, you need not give up on your search for a comfortable solution. One option is this sofa-bed from Ikea, which comes with a 10cm foam mattress and costs less than £200. I can recommend this product for those with a smaller budget as I bought it for my first home - and it lasted until it was replaced many years later with the M&S sofa-bed mentioned above.
