How comfortable are Mini suite Sofabeds (Emerald Princess)

[mark46]

 

 

I am 75 and about 235 pounds.

 

do I need to bring air mattress to put on the sofabed?

I know you are asking about the Emerald, we were just on the Majestic.  The sofa in our mini suite was extremely uncomfortable to sit on.  I made a comment to the HGM, he told us they are to be replaced in their next dry dock.

 

Hopefully, on the Emerald they are newer.

I have slept on them numerous times and always had a good night’s sleep

I've found it always depends upon what you are used to sleeping on at home.  My husband wants a soft mattress, while I prefer a firmer one.

What size do the mini-suite sofabeds open up to? twin? full? queen?

 

I was considering packing an air mattress.  They don't take up much space.

You used to be able to request a mattress topper from your steward.

Sorry but a sofa bed sounds awful.  I have trouble enough on a regular bed

We have never used ours to sleep on.

I'm concerned about the sofa bed, too. My son actually finds the pullmans' comfortable, but the Deluxe Balcony cabins have a sofa bed instead on the Majestic, so I'm hoping it's not too uncomfortable.

 

On my last couple of cruises on other cruise lines, I was told that the egg crates were no longer available as they couldn't be cleaned properly, so our steward put a couple of comforters on the bed to add a little extra padding.

One person we know (who posts here as well) has taken an air mattress and slept on his balcony. He did this on a 19 day cruise. Obviously it was a warm weather cruise.

Can't you just put the air mattress on the sofabed?

I have slept on the sofa bed and it is very firm.  I like a firm mattress but there is absolutely no ‘give’ to the sofa when sitting on it or sleeping on it.  
 

There is also an indent where the sofa folds/bends when it is upright that was a comfort problem.  I asked for one of the comforters used on the traditional beds.  I folded it in half and after the first uncomfortable night, I had great sleep the rest of our cruise.

Just opened our sleeper sofa on a mini suite on the Sky Princess. 

No you can't put your air mattress on the couch. When opened the couch turns into a small single size bed. I am 6'2" and 222 lbs  it worked for me to try out. It would have probably have been too hard to sleep on A thin memory foam pad might be an idea, they may even have on board. If you like a firm mattress you will be ok.
