If you want to buy or sell household goods, please use our For Sale/Wanted boards.We are changing our guest room to a kids den/TV room, and anticipate the bed function would only be needed a few nights a year. It's a good price. My mil is most likely to sleep on it, and as I quite like her, I'd like it to be vaguely comfortable. Sorry, should have linked! I. Have got this recently and we find it really comfortable as a sofa and a bed, it's quite firm but I prefer that, it's really roomy and the storage is incredibly handy. Thanks for the reply. The storage really appeals. Do you need a mattress topper? Do you use separate pillows (and store them), or use the supplied cushions? I don't use s topper but of your MIL likes a softer mattress then you might want to get a king one, we just put a king sheet on and make it up like a bed, I use separate pillows but I'm precious about preserving my new sofas cleanliness We store a complete bedding set in the storage bit so it's always ready to him it's so fabulously easy to pull in and out.
It's a lot bigger than it feels/looks in store if that makes sense. Hmmm. Might need a tape measure then! Haven't seen it in real life. I like the idea of the bedding being ready to go .... I too would be precious about the cushions hi, is it possible to keep both parts separate? meaning, the sofa as an L doesnt fit entirely well, but I could keep it as two separate couches and then put them together when the bed is needed. does it make any sense? We had one of these. I found when the bed was made up, one half was hard, the other half was softer. You can buy a mattress topper but we never bothered. We also used separate pillows and kept all the bedding in the unit underneath. Hi, just bumping this to see if some of the later questions can be answered? No, the couch cannot be taken apart in two. Great couch, though, especially if you live in an apartment! All feature work as well as I've hoped. We often have friends stay on it, even sleep on it ourselves sometimes for fun.
Bumping this post as keen to know if anyone has any other views on this sofa bed. It's my fave at the moment after lots of research but still waiting to take the plunge & buy. Sit on it for a while as you might at home. If you like it, get it. We have it & like it a lot. We have put a topper on for guests & they have been very happy. Had it for 3 months or so. PS I store 2 pillows & a double duvet in a vacuum bag plus topper in the storage part. It is well thought out. We've recently bought it. Nobody slept on it yet, but very comfy as a sofaI bought this version of the friheten this past weekend. It is a very firm couch. I am not sure I like it...... At the store it seemed ok but now I have spent more time, It is just very hard....the storage is good, it looks very modern. Friheten looks and feels awesome, a bit firmer than the Manstad but definitely more ergonomic. They removed one of the arms (or lowered it) so longer people would be able to stretch in full sleeping in it.
I used to have the older version called Manstad and was considering the friheten to replace it when the sofa's fabric was falling apart, but then I found these guys called comfort works from Au and they are able to build you a custom slipcover for all your IKEA sofas, definitely get the friheten, here's another post I found for Friheten slipcover I want to buy a corner sofa bed. Ideally it should have room for two adults to sleep (occasionally)My budget is £1000. Can you recommend any? Most cheep once have cushions that wear off very quickly. So I would like to find a durable one. Hi Chazinda have you found one that you like?
