Can anyone recommend a half decent DOUBLE folding guest bed?

[Ceolas]

Please

We are Aerobed household here. My mother visiting us over the years has endured sofabed, futon, pull-out-from-under beds, sofa cushions on floor, the lot, but with the Aerobed she acrually comments on what a good sleep she's had. She is like the princess and the pea so it is no joke! And they fold up to just a duffel bag.

Did you specifically want some kind of zedbed?

if ur not fussed on having a zbed a intex blow up bed might be ok they r bout 5ft wide and bout 2.5 ft off the ground very comfy folds up in a bag like the aerobed but alot cheaper

We have an Argos single futon chairbed, and everybody who sleeps on it says it's really comfortable (mind you it does have a thin foam mattress, from a defunct Z-bed, under the futon so maybe not a reliable recommendation!)

Anyway the double equivalent is this (but it is a small double)

We used to have a futon. Ok as a guest bed, but I could never never get on with the thing as a sofa.

It always looked awful. Ok if you plumped it up but the minute you sat on it it would slump and slide off in a heap.

we have the ikea hemnes day bed.

we havethis one from ikea with the best mattress. It's good. But even better because i got it cheap on ebay.

The Intex self-inflatinf ones are very good! I got mine from ebay for about £33 delivered brand new.

I posted a brilliant one on a thread the other day will see if I can find

Jay-be's are brilliant. We have a single and it's as comfortable as a proper bed, and easily stowed.

here it is

it is fab, can be table, low level table, sofa, chair etc too

"Faux Leather"

pah

That'll be plastic then

They do leather too

look

This is better, the double equivalent of CD's and in actual genuine real leather, not that nasty faux.

£300 not bad compared to Argos's cheap futon!

Oh snap, CD

how foldy does it have to fold?
these are faberoonie as the mattresses zip together giving a proper kingsize

OK, it's a long story, but it's for my parents' house and the requirements are it has to be comfortable enough for a couple to sleep in for say a week at a time. Long term it's going to be kept in a study where the intention is that it's not a permanent 'bed' IYSWIM?

Are these inflatable jobs really comfortable . And do they have them in John Lewis inflated so you can actually sit/lie on them? Packing away in a bag would be ideal if it's comfortable.

MrsB, lovely but perhaps a bit out of the budget. I'm thinking they want to spend maybe £200...

The Aerobed one I have is really comfortable, honest, I have slept on it myself. Normally I hate airbeds (in the camping sense). A lot of different people/couples have slept on it and commented on how comfortable it was. I was also doubtful but now am a believer.

I did have one demonstrated for me in John Lewis, but they only have the more expensive sorts so I didn't buy it from them. Cannot remember whether I actually lay down on it, had the DC rioting around at the time.

Thanks all

They are going for the Ikea one.
