meidda Posted November 24, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I always here how comfortable the bedding is on the Holland line but how comfortable are the sofa beds to sleep on? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimVrhovac Posted November 24, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I have never had a problem sleeping on them when Ruth throws me out of bed. Great for afternoon naps when she is out of the room. Ruth & Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fann1sh Posted November 24, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I've slept on the sofa bed for 4 HAL cruises, "S" and "R" class ships. The regular single sofa beds are fabulous - head and shoulders above the torture chamber devices you find on land. Ironically, less comfortable was the double sofa bed in a suite. Still slept OK. Excellent bed linens provided as well. Can't imagine there's much difference on the Vistas - will tell you after my December 15 trip on Zuidy. You know your cruise is coming soon when the yogurt in your fridge doesn't expire until after you'll get home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sage Posted November 24, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ask for an egg crate mattress pad, and you will be much more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote Holland to ask about the 2 sofa sizes and they told me that all the sofas were the same size. I am booked for an sc aft. Do you think it may be a single or a double sofa? Thanks, meidda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Posted November 27, 2007 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The sofa beds are queen sized. The sofa beds are made up with the same quality sheets and duvet as are the regular beds. My DD's found the egg crate a great help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fann1sh Posted November 27, 2007 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The sofa beds in the Verandah cabins - and in the SC's - aren't for 2 people - they're twin (So, maximum cabin capacity is 3, except for Verandah cabins with an upper berth) Apologies for the "Canadianism" - "double" size bed. I meant "full", but stand corrected, Sage - you're right that most suites (all; the SA's, and I think the SB's) have queen sofa beds. As already mentioned, found the queen one less comfortable than the twin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winemistress45 Posted November 27, 2007 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The sofa beds in the verandah cabins are singles -- they are not nearly as good as the regular beds but not as bad as other sofa beds I've slept on -- the linens were good.

richnorto Posted November 27, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2007 My son preferred the sofa bed on the Zaandam to the fold down bunk on Sun Princess. The girls said the sofa bed was better-although they only took turns sleeping the night on the bunk and not on the sofa! It must be decent!

grannynurse Posted November 27, 2007 #11 Share Posted November 27, 2007 SC cabins and cabin categories below this level have single sofa beds. Singles fold flat from the middle where the back goes flat. SB and above have the traditional fold-out sofa beds that are double sized or larger. Our SA suite on Zaandam had a fold-out that looked to be queen sized. Our 2 tall daughters slept on it for 11 days and were really comfortable.
