Please tell me about the convertible sofa beds

[elsieflat]

Convertible single sofa bed questions (in balcony stateroom):

 

Are they as comfy as the regular beds?

 

Are they suitable for an adult?

 

With the sofa as a bed, can the king still be separated to twins?

 

Does the steward turn it back to a sofa in the mornings and remake it in the evenings as a standard practice?

 

If not, can we ask the steward to do that to allow more room during the day?

 

Since there will be 3 adults in the stateroom, will 3 balcony chairs be provided?

 

Thanks

Convertible single sofa bed questions (in balcony stateroom):

 

Are they as comfy as the regular beds? Yes! My kids love when they have a sofa bed instead of an UPPER, they say its much more comfy.

 

Are they suitable for an adult? Yes

 

With the sofa as a bed, can the king still be separated to twins? Yes, my mom and two kids shared a room on the Liberty - two twins and a sofa bed.

 

Does the steward turn it back to a sofa in the mornings and remake it in the evenings as a standard practice? They did not for us, but I am sure you can ask.

 

If not, can we ask the steward to do that to allow more room during the day?

 

Since there will be 3 adults in the stateroom, will 3 balcony chairs be provided? We did not have three, and there really is not room for three... you will get one lounge chair and one upright chair.. but once again, cannot hurt to ask!

 

Thanks

 

I found a room with three to be very comfortable.

Thanks

 

See above

We were 3 adult (women) in a balcony stateroom. Remember to bring over the door shoe organizer for the bathroom...........would have been a mess with out it!!

We asked the steward to turn the bed back into a sofa each day and it wasnt a problem. Just ask and you'll be fine.:)

Three big adult women had this on the Glory - no problem. Plenty of room. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for the replies.

 

I have been on the Valor in a balcony stateroom which had a sofa, but didn't even sit on it let alone sleep on it. Didn't spend much time in our own quarters, and when we were there it was only to sleep or to sit on the balcony :D

DD20 has been sleeping on the sofa bed since she has been 7. No problems, no complaints!

My DD- 16 at the time and 5'3"- did not like the sofa bed. She much preferred the upper bunk. She had to lay diagonally on the bed. There was not enough room with the bed out. We didn't even think to ask to have it put back. Since the upper bunk was always put away for us, we assumed that the sofa would have been put away if that was what was done. Now we know to ask first, rather than assume! Learn something new every day! Michelle:)

Just wondering now on the orientation of the sofa when it's made into a bed. The sofa is normally perpendicular to the twins (at least it was that way in the one and only balcony cabin that I have ever been in). Does it remain that way, so that the feet of the person sleeping on the sofa bed are in the face of the person on the twin next to the sofa? :eek: Or is the sofa turned when used as a bed so that it is in the same orientation as (parallel to) the twins? :confused: (cannot remember if there was enough room to do that)

Here are pics of the sofa bed on Glory.......

Usually there's a back to the couch. Does the room steward take this away when they make up the bed? Any chance we could keep and turn the couch into the wall so our twins (19 months) could use this bed without falling out?

Thanks so much for the pics chay - very helpful. I will try not to whack my head on the wall sconce when I get up in the morning! :D
