Hi all, I am thinking of buying an inflatable sofa for our next camping trip. Is it advisable to get one? Any particular type or brand to look for? Where to buy them?   Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

We bought one from Wilkinson online recently.  It converts to being a bed too.  It was only about £20 iirc.  For what it cost and what we use it for it is adequate.  The down side is that it's a bit unstable as a sofa (or it is when you're my size anyway) and not quite long enough to be a decent air bed either.

It is my aim to have a sofa before my next camping trip.

It's on my wish list after seeing one on here however can't seem to get one from wilkos as they are always sold out.

Seen others on tinternet for approximately £40 - are they really worth the money - bit worried I will pay this and feel bitterly let down!!

Hi mindflyhigh,

This is the second inflatable sofa thread I've replied to today - everyone wants one  !  this is the one we have from Bestway, and are very pleased with it.

We got ours from Amazon for £34.99.  If you put Bestway Double Inflatable Sofa into your search engine it will bring up lots of different retailers and I'm sure you will get it for less than the one in the link, if it fits the bill.

Hope this is similar to what you are looking for.

Best regards

Katie

 I had one of these sofa's think it was a bestway too. I thought it was so smart was so excited to sleep on it kids loved it sitting playing during the day but come bedtime it was rubbish kept falling down the gap in the middle so thus ended up with a very cold bottom and sore back! so great if you want a sofa but no good as a double airbed really might be ok for one person of the kids. I sold mine my sister Lol told her it was space saving she never been camping yet oops......

don't think it was the bestway, as there's no gap to fall into into mine

we have this, its fantastic 

The original Five-in-One Sofa Bed Double Size - as seen on TV

This is a high quality inflatable sofa bed on offer at a fraction of the price it was advertised on the television shopping channel. 

Easily stored, this superb sofa bed is so versatile. It can be used as extra bed space when friends come calling and it is stored so easily. For the student or small apartment owner it can serve as a seat during the day and a bed at night.

More than this, it:

  • Converts into a lounger for lazy days in front of the TV
  • Acts as a recliner for days outdoors sunbathing.
  • It is also a neat kids’ high rise bed!

The bed is designed to look like black leather. Really it is made from the highest quality PVC material, making it waterproof and easy to wipe clean.

It is different from other inflatable beds on the market in many ways. It is made up of 3 sections; 2 base segments, connected by flexible tubes, holding them together and allowing air to flow between the two, and an upright (back rest/arm rest) section. You can choose to keep this third section deflated, enabling remaining two base sections to lie flat on the floor, making the longest inflatable bed on the market (a full 212 cm long) & a high rise kids bed! Inflate the third section (back rest/arm rests) and use as a sofa, lounger or recliner!

In addition to the Sofa Bed, Bag and Pump, you'll receive three interchangeable pump nozzles. This means your powerful pump (with 3-pin UK plug) can be used to inflate virtually any kind of inflatable.

As a sofa it measures 93 cm high x 105 cm deep x 153 cm wide.

When you’re finished, just deflate, roll up and store in the handy travel bag included.

Want to see it in action click on the video below.

Please note: the courier cost is for England and some parts of the UK mainland. Extra courier cost will be applied if they are outside the standard courier rate. Feel free to inquire before purchase.

*Delivery guaranteed in 24 hours after confirmed payment Monday to Friday. 48 hours at weekend.

Use a trusted ebay seller. My recent feedback includes the following comments about this fantastic bed and the Suziestarturn service:

  • "SUPER fast delivery, good product! Pleasure to deal with! A+"
  • "Excellent service"
  • "Great sofa bed,, thanks :) comfortable"
  • "Top rate service and product - excellent seller AAA !!!"
  • "Good product,exactly as described fast delivery thanx again A+"
  • "Brilliant item - so good I bought two! Very friendly and helpful ebayer thanks!"
  • "Excellent service very fast delivery recommend seller 100% thankyou"

Hi thanks everyone for your input. I have now ordered a sofa bed from Wilkos. It wasn't straightforward though. They had some in stock on the 2nd of July and by the 3rd it was all out of stock. Rang the customer service and advised me that some, not all stores, do have some in stock. The nearest one with stocks is about an hour's drive away so I decided to give that store a ring and arranged for an IBT (inter branch transfer) which they more than happily did for me. Now awaiting delivery in my local store. Yipee. Can't wait. Hope it's worth all that hassle. Wish me luck.
