Are there any genuinely comfortable sofa beds for occasional guests?

Hi! Is there such a thing as a comfortable sofa bed?
I'd like to transform our spare room into a room for the children, as we only have visitors for around 6 weeks a year. But one of our visitors is elderly and stays for around two weeks, so I need to make sure the room is comfortable too. Have sofa beds evolved since I last slept on (a very uncomfortable) one around 20 years ago?

Koala is the comfiest bed, even by normal bed standards. I love ours.

I've got one from DFS, and it's pretty great as a bed, I don't rate it as a sofa though, it's too firm.

My parents have a sofa bed that they put a memory foam mattress on when people come to stay.

DFS - upgrade to the memory foam mattress - it’s well worth it. I find the sofa very comfy too

The muji fold out foam ones.
Used it to Airbnb a spare room for a while and people liked the bed.

Have you considered a Murphy bed? Also called wallbeds or study bed. The kind that that fold down from the wall?

Has a full mattress that doesn't have to be folded up and takes up less room that a sofa bed. Bed can be left made up and you just pull it down. So wish I'd put one in my spare room years ago.

my Ikea one is comfy. Can’t think of the style similar to this one. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/lycksele-loevas-2-seat-sofa-bed-ransta-natural-s19387006/
