dkoitz Posted February 3, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2013 We will leaving on the Ryndam soon. How uncomfortable are the sofa beds in the Deluxe Verandah Suite? This is the room with 575 sq ft. We will be in room S008, deck 10, Navigation. Any info is much appreciated. We'll bring our twin blow up mattress if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseWhere Posted February 3, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I can't comment on the Ryndam but I can on the Veendam and they were not comfortable in the least! We mentioned this to our cabin steward and they ended up putting the lounge cushions from our loungers under the "mattress" of the sofa sofa bed. Still not good:( All in all it's just to thin as opposed to a "regular mattress & box spring" IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whip52 Posted February 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2013 and take the guesswork out. Be sure to buy a good quality mattress, not the cheapies that sit on the end caps at places like Walmart and Target. Coleman makes decent ones that aren't too pricey.

sail7seas Posted February 4, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I would not enjoy sleeping on those pull out beds in the "S" Suites but we see lots of them in use when we walk down the hall and stewards are cleaning the cabins...... lots of the pull out beds are clearly being used.

catl331 Posted February 4, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Many families put their teenagers on those beds and smaller children. Sometimes they will give you the foam crates. I guess teenage boys can sleep anywhere and through anything. The idea of a blow up mattress sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxoocruiser Posted February 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ask the cabin attendant if there's any egg crate style foam mattress pads available. If so, have the attendant place 2 of those on stop of the mattress for some additional comfort. Most cruise ship have a small supply of them and are offered on a first come first serve basis. You might also think about adding that request to your booking and or contacting HAL's special needs department . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkoitz Posted February 6, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Wow, thank you all very much for all the info. I will contact Hlland America and list it as a special request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkoitz Posted April 1, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Just back from the Ryndam and my 14yr old daughter slept on the sofa bed. The 2 foam egg crate cushions did help. The sofa bed was still hard, but sleepable. She took some extra pillows and put them under her to get extra cushion. So if you have a suite sofa bed, I would suggest calling ship services and reserving 2 foam cushions as we did. We almost brought our twin blowup mattress, but didn't.
