Added toppers to couch/bed

[wenocancer2]

My daughter will be sleeping on the couch that turns into a bed on our cruise and she loves soft beds. Are there toppers (like egg crate toppers) that we can ask for on that kind of bed?

The foam toppers haven't been available in the last 7 years when we have asked. The steward will use a heavy duvet folded in half lengthwise to cover the bottom of the sofa.

Oh okay. That is fine.

Thanks!

My experience has been that they bring a thin mattress that goes on top of the couch. It is maybe 3-4 inches and like what is on the rollaways. Very comfortable. I know they did it last year because every day we would lift it off the couch and put it on top of our bed so we could have the couch back.

 

But last week they did not put anything on top. Just put sheets on the couch. I thought it was pretty hard but my daughter said it was comfortable enough. If she had been uncomfortable, I would have asked the room steward to add it. I know they had them because I saw one in the hallway on embarkation day when we dropped off the luggage. So, just ask if she isn’t comfortable.

I know this is a little off topic (apologies), but does anyone know how long the sofa bed is?  Could someone 6’2” be comfortable? Thanks!

My son is 5'9" and he was fine.  But another 5" would be tight.

If driving to the port I bring an eggcrate. If flying I check to see if there’s a close Walmart or Target and pick one up. I put it on my bed myself and the room steward has never said anything. I have a bad back and have yet to find a cruise ship bed comfortable.

Search your "smiling" online retailer for Inflatable Sleeping Mattress 3.9 Inch.  Packs very small and works great for me, better than eggcrate. YMMV

Get an inflateable.

With the change to once a day service is it safe to assume they are not turning the couch back and forth during the day? Meaning that if you are cruising with enough people to need the couch bed that you essentially have just the couch bed the whole trip and no couch during the day?

Unfortunately yes

When my oldest hit 5'10" or so, I had his feet in my face because they were stretching across the nightstand.  That was when we started to get the kids their own cabins ;)

That’s right. When they put the mattress on top last year, it was easy to pick up the whole mattress, sheets and all, and just lay it across the foot of our bed. Then we had our couch back during the day. Not as easy without the mattress to take the sheets off and put them back on each day, so we didn’t bother.
