I see lots of folk using these - and have visions of you all bouncing around in them !  LOL

My question is do they work ?  most folk also use a throw of some sort -  Whats a decent brand to go for ?  I'v seen a Bestway thats also a bed - and I think its black ( which would be good )

so can anyone using this product advise please

Like all inflatable items they are prone to leaking.
I have seen reasonably priced ones in Wilkinsons.

Inflatable sofa / sofa bed.      Yes they work some better than others.  If using as a bed think about if you will need to move it and is that practical every night.

Downside is that they are prone to leaking and yes patches can help when holed but with most of these inflatables once leaking or has a patch the end is inevitable. Air pressure increases in heat and decreases in cold so a firm sofa at 3pm will be soft and saggy by 3am.

The covers are because the plastic is again hot and clammy when the sun shines but cold and sticky when the night comes.  So any throw will do.

We used an inflatable sofa bed which we used as a sofa during the day and our bed at night. Found it quite comfortable to sleep on but to sit on I personally found the backrest rather low. We had the blue veloury type one.

Have just bougt a new black 5 in 1 sofa bed but have yet to try it (forgot to take it with me last trip!)

We bought one this season. Its lovely having a sofa and makes it look so homely with cusions and a throw, but I am not sure how comfy they are. We have the black 5 in 1 from ebay. When stretched out in recliner mode it is really comfy but take up loads of space so this is a snuggle down on a rainy night option (fab) unless you have a mahooosive tent. In erect sofa mode I tend to find the backrest pushes me forwards and with 2 on it you sort of slide about (or was that because we were on an incline and it was going flat!). All in all I think we are glad we have it and its lovely to sit and read stories to the little one on, but in upright sofa mode its not exactly lounging material unless you have it all to yourself and put your legs up, then its quite nice!
