joodee Posted August 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Hello, does anyone have experience of sailing with 3 adults in a balcony cabin on Britannia with a sofa bed? My question is how big is the sofa bed, would it be suitable for six foot lad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsn55 Posted August 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Sofa beds might technically be long enough, but they're not very comfortable to sleep on. Usually enjoyed by small children or backpackers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMichelle Posted August 13, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Friends of ours recently did this with 3 adults and did not mention any issues and, believe me, they would😂 I have seen reports about the pull down beds only being suitable for children, but never a bad review about the sofa bed, so hopefully you will be OK.

purplesea Posted August 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2023 We had a cabin with a sofa bed which my adult daughter used and she didn't complain - and she would! The only problem is that when it is folded out it reaches the dressing table so you have to climb over it to get to the balcony. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joodee Posted August 13, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Thanks for the reply and photo, I hadn't thought of how much room it takes up. does the cabin steward fold it out each evening or do you do it yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cabin steward will make up the sofa bed each evening, and reset it to a sofa each morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but stewards do not service cabins in the evening (except suites) as they have other jobs so you may have to do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not have to make the sofa into a bed. A steward will come each night to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsn55 Posted August 14, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Since the bed will take up so much room, probably better to fold and unfold it yourself. If you have a late sleeper, you'll not be able to take your coffee out on the balcony to greet the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
