Hi Yorkie!! We're all fine - hope you lot are too, nice quiet weekend so I've actually been on here quite a bit - dipping my toe in and testing the water Trying not to get to addicted though as I have so much decorating to do in our dump (the flat that is - not the Hotel lol)!! Is Essbee back yet? I hope she had a good time

misdee · 10/04/2005 21:09

how bizarre!!

singyswife · 10/04/2005 21:41

Hi Am fairly new to this site. Just wanted to say that sofa bed thingy is really cool. Have never seen anything like that before.

Hope you don't mind me butting in on the conversation.

misdee · 10/04/2005 21:42

Hi Singyswife - I'm new too, it's a bit daunting isn't it?

looks a bit scary to me - can imagine the whole thing collapsing and getting squished on the bottom bunk

singyswife · 10/04/2005 21:52

Hi all. It is a bit daunting but I am glad you are all so nice.

I got a mental image in my head there of that bed collapsing and squishing someone. Still think it is quite cool though.

jojo28 · 10/04/2005 22:06

That is spectacular!!! Ebay, you have got to love it it, has things on there that you didn't even know exist. Can I go slightly off thread and ask if anyone knows if single sofa beds exist?

misdee · 10/04/2005 22:07

yeah jo jo, its just my regular sofa

i have seen single sofa beds, possibly ikea?

JanH · 10/04/2005 22:09

You can get ones where the arms drop flat, jojo - IYSWIM. I don't know any sources but will have a look (finding things is my hobby!)

Argos have quite a trendy one like you're describing JanH pg 437 Montana item no. 635/1117

I want a double metal action one but they're too expensive

jojo28 · 10/04/2005 22:14

Crikey I'd like to see the coffe table that goes with it!

Oh god I was afraid someone might say that! Ikea can I face it meatballs and all... probably. Who wants some floating candles!!

theres one on ebay

JanH · 10/04/2005 22:18

I found 2 possibilities, jojo - one is a very modern leather square thing where the back moves forward on top of the seat to make a divan, and a single armless leather chair that opens out into a bed (ie an expensive - probably - version of the cheap foam chairbed you can get everywhere). Want to see either of those?

No actual single sofabeds yet.

jojo28 · 10/04/2005 22:28

Yeah JanH I would, have you got the links? Not sure I could live with the blue of the one on ebay but at least it shows they exist. Yorkie girl that sounds good will check it out.

Ok - this is Henry , whose back flops forward (he isn't leather, not sure why I thought so!)

And this is Charlie . He costs £300 for "microfibre" and £500 for leather

Lots of other sofabeds here but mostly fairly hideous.
