Hi everyone

How many of you use an inflatable sofa in your tent ?  Only asking as I am considering buying one ready for the next season.  At the moment OH and I use Gelert folding chairs, but we find they get uncomfortable to use during the evenings and in wet weather when we end up spending more time actually in our tent. I have seen a very comfortable looking one on several web sites (think the manufacturer is called Bestway)  As I haven't seen any on show anywhere just wondered if they are worth buying.

What do think?

we've got one! (bestway) It was extremly comfy to sit on. We had an extra guest staying with us for a couple of nights when we was away last, and it came in handy for he to sleep on (it's the sofa bed one) The only down side we found, was because it got a lot of use, we had to keep putting a little more air in every 2 or 3 days. Also, when you flick the bottom part of the sofa out, to make it into a bed, they are hinged together, but they can pull apart slightly, so it could become a bit of a problem if you was to sleep on it and wriggle alot in the night. You might slip between the 2 mattresses!!

I'm glad i got mine though. It's been a god send, because when your away for 2 weeks, those fold up chair things, that everyone seems to have, do become a little uncomfortable after a while!

Thanks folks - now I'm totally confused !!!!

I don't have a problem with mobility, but I have long legs (no comments please!) and find the average camping chair cuts in the back of my leggies.

Hi Hilda-hairnet - we have a B/L too and thought we would have loads of room for a sofa as there is only me and hubby.

Having a sofa seemed to tick all the right boxes for us.  Its amazing the differences in opinion on here about them !  Thank you all anyway
