Sofa beds?

I’ve got a day-bed type thing (enclosed on 3 sides) but there’s a trundle underneath. It doesn’t zip together, but makes 2 singles, side by side, or apart.

*I meant stored, not sorted.

Sofa bed comfort depends on how much you pay. The cheaper ones do seem flimsy and uncomfortable in my experience.

You mentioned a bed, for couples / family. I assume you would need a double. As a suggestion, have a look at camping / outdoor shops. They sell inflatable beds, often powered by mains-powered built-in inflators. They look really comfy and could be deflated and sorted when not in use. £100 or less would get a good one.

I'm sure I've seen almost this exact post before?

What do you think of the benefit of a sofa bed in a spare room versus a proper bed? I use our spare room as a craft/ office space and we have family/ couples to stay a day or two a month. Looking at prices, sofa beds seem so much more expensive, and not that comfortable...the mattresses look thin. But a bed would take up most of the room, tho i could just plonk myself on it and spread my things around. Any thoughts on how you have decided? Thanks
