Beds in the study?

I would tell your son to get lost. Who does he think he is? Has he got his eye on the study for his own future purposes?

You will be very lucky, if you see your grandsons once a year in about 5 years time.

So take my advice. Spend the cost of a sofa bed on yourself! Couple of Spa Days, Weekend away etc.

Because you are worth it

Enjoy

An alternative? When folded can use as a shelf.

If they only come twice a year I'd not put permanent bed(s) in, sofa or otherwise. Blimey - a blow up bed they can bring and take away is enough.

Hi koro lol lol lol o. Go and delete some of these ridiculous threads

NotSpaghetti, ours too, 3 of them in one tent with two cats.

My children loved camping in gardens (even ours!)
What a good idea!

Do they have a tent they could bring, do you have an enclosed garden? at their age they might enjoy this adventure or the one of camping out in your house twice a year, why not.

When our children were younger we always had campbeds. Part of the fun of holidaying.

I wouldn't be wanting two sux footers in one sofa bed, they probably don't. If it were me I would ask the boys what they prefer, otherwise ask their parents. I would do what they want as its not for too long at their ages and I would want them happy.,

We used to have a sofa bed for years and I still miss it. It was lovely and apparently very cosy .

We have slept happily for a week on inflatable beds. They aren't slippy or squishy like the ones for the beach!
They pack away quite small and can self-inflate.

Personally I'd go for something like this rather than something permanent.

The older one is quite big. I think we will have to get the more solid trundle bed and that will also do any other visitors.

I have just reread your post and see it is the boys uncle is the one suggesting a change. The boys are only 9 and 10 so probably not 6 ft. I would have thought the blow up beds would do for a while yet. I would ask the boys themselves if they have a problem before spending money.

I also think that a wall bed is the answer, if there is sufficient floor space next to a suitable wall. They're pretty expensive so perhaps your son will pay?!

You can get chair beds that easily fold out into a small single bed - fine for occasional use.

This would give you two separate beds - teenagers are not going to want to share a bed. Also these chair beds don’t take up too much space when folded up as a chair.

My GS has one in his bedroom for use when his friend stays over. It’s great!

They sell them at Argos - wide range of prices.

Over the years I tried so many different bed options for visiting g.children. In my house, the third - small bedroom was also my study/office. For a few years I had bunk beds in there, also had blow up bed to use.
The second bedroom in my flat is a strange shape and cannot take a full sized double bed. For a while I did have a sofa bed, 3 ft wide which pulled out to a full sized double bed. Had to have the radiator moved to give people about six inches to get past it. Have now turned that into my craft room, got rid of that sofa bed and got a got quality z bed. Full single size when open 3 ft x 6.3. Folder and cover on it is out of the way. Friends who have used it in overnight stays with me say it is comfortable.
Do remember that boys start to grown during their teen years. My youngest grandson, now 15 years of age is well over six foot tall. He lives nearby, so I have no problems there, but no way could two of him share a sofa bed!!!!

Perfect indeed.

Right now in fact - I'm absolutely laying odds that you live on your own. I wonder if he'd "try it on" to dictate how your house would be laid out if you were a couple or a single man living there.

I'm betting you are a widow - and, at some level, he's thinking "Ach....a woman on her own can be bossed around to suit everyone else. Single/widowed women don't count as People".

It sounds to me like a bit of sexism may well be going on here of the "Women on their own get told what to do/how to live their lives".

Take a leaf out of the assertiveness training courses given to women a few years back. Say firmly "No - I don't want to" and repeat the same words steadily in a row however many times you have to until daylight dawns on them that you are serious. In my experience - the couple of times I've had to do that - I've found they "stop in their tracks" and realise you mean it when you've said it about 10 times in a row steadily. "No I dont want to...no I don't want to....no I dont want to.....".

If you love your sons and your grandkids don't do this, it is not sexism and it is not a hill to die on. Be thankful you have decent sons who visit you and are able to physically help you with stuff for free like putting a bed.

this is the first time someone pissed me off on gn.

Or as we do it here, we have a corner behind a bunk bed, where we put 2 spare mattresses and when my foreign family visits, I accommodate two adults on the sofa bed in the living room and their teens sleep on the mattresses

A pull-out from the wall bed doesn't take up much room. Just say thank you and be grateful that you have a onsiderate son,
