Colorado Kat Posted October 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2012 There will be 4 of us in an ocean-view room. My tiny 20 year old daughter will take the upper bunk. Can a 6'2" male fit on the sofa sleeper? Since I'm the one actually paying for the trip, I really want one of the twin beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Dream in June, our 6'4" son fit on the sofa bed just fine. a tight fit, but it worked...Have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockbock Posted October 11, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The sofa bed is just like a standard twin bed. If he fits on a twin, he'll fit on the sofa bed. Here's a pic of our sofa on the Dream last week after it was made up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennySoCal Posted October 11, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm a 6'3" big guy, in my mid-40s. I was quite comfortable on the sofa bed on Splendor last December. It felt better than my own big bed at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm Breezes Posted October 11, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2012 This is why we started getting 2 rooms when the kids moved into their teens. DS(18) is 6'8" and DD(15) is 6'. It is so much nicer for them to have their own actual beds and bathroom plus the privacy is nice too. I find the extra cost is usually not that much more for the extra space we get.

rockbock Posted October 11, 2012 #9 Share Posted October 11, 2012 the sofa bed is the same size as a regular sofa No, it isn't. Look at the photo above. A twin mattress is placed on top of the sofa base. A standard sofa is 20" to 24" deep. A twin bed is close to double that deep. And the length of the converted sofa bed is identical to a twin bed, since a twin mattress is placed on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they have never did that for our uses. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2105752240062714675hYynqt http://family.webshots.com/photo/2767579440087173419UVRBij http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2279634180105428370shQKdx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the sofa bed that our cabin had on the Dream last week was quite a step up from some of the ones that your family has had. I just assumed the sofa beds were all the same, but apparently some are much more "bed-like" than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks really uncomfortable. My three sisters and I shared a balcony room on the Victory. We made the baby, 25, sleep on the top and the oldest, me, slept on the sofa. Neither mattress looked like that or else I wouldn't have gotten any sleep. Ours were real mattresses and the were so soft it was like being on a giant pillow. I wish my bed at home was as comfy.

I just assumed the sofa beds were all the same, but apparently some are much more "bed-like" than others. maybe because the dream is very new compared to the older ships have the orange pleather sofa. Convertible sofa beds were not that bad though-- guess after a day of "cruisin" we can sleep on rocks. to Wildgrits== are you sure that on the Victory it has a mattress placed on there? Coz we didn not. Where would they store all those mattresses for the sofa? The middle photo above is the Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildgrits Posted October 11, 2012 #14 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Actually when we were on the Victory, it didn't feel like a mattress placed ontop of the sofa. When you laid in it it you could feel some sort of metal frame at the head. I never saw the sofa without it on so I just assumed the sofa came apart and the mattress was in it somehow. We were on deck 6. I'm sure it was the Victory because I have only been on two cruises. The Victory and the Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
