Sofabeds with high weight limits

4 replies

Aj1400 · 07/02/2021 17:32

My mother and father in law are both very overweight.

Looking to buy sofa-bed so when DC is born they can come to stay.
However, sofabeds I've looked at have a 17stone weight limit (individual user weight limit) or less.

Any reccomendations on ones which are higher?

I am guessing that they are both over 17 stone (or close to).

As a formerly very-obese person (now no longer so) I am pretty sure there is no such thing as a double-sofabed that is actually comfortable for 2 obese people to share. I have tried.

The best solution we ever found was getting 2 single-size modules like www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/vallentuna-sofa-bed-module-with-backrests-hillared-light-blue-s29277489/ this because then the two people are individually supported rather than both on the same supports. I don't know what the maximum load tolerance is though.

It might be worth investing I. A good quality air bed instead? Something like this? www.argos.co.uk/product/6128388?$ja=tsid%3A11674%7Cprd%3A100045266&utm_source=Skimlinks&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_campaign=Argos+Deep+Generator+AID-+DO+NOT+CHANGE&utm_content=10830324&utm_custom1=100045266&utm_custom2=Other&cmpid=cojun&cjevent=3fb9e876699211eb811f03a90a18050d&dclid=CPWE5tbm2O4CFZP37QodzGYHLw
(The weight limit is 38 stone so should be fine.)

We got rid of our sofa bed and replaced with a good air bed in an emergency and tbh it is 100 x comfier.

I agree with @KihoBebiluPute , 2 single fold up beds would be much more comfortable. DH and are both big and we find a normal size double uncomfortable, never mind a fold out sofa bed. Get 2 single fold ups or 2 single air beds. Also will come in useful when the kids start having sleepovers!
