will i click with the click-into-place sofa bed?

I don’t like bacon, but it smells heavenly. I have a similar relationship with sofa beds. That is to say, I love the idea, but the ones I’ve seen have been too big for a small guest room and insanely time-consuming to pull out for visitors. Oh — and fiendishly uncomfortable, ensuring that Aunt Jane tosses and turns to avoid the bar cleverly positioned to hit the middle of her back. One solution could be the Capitola Convertible Chaise Sofa. I love the vaguely Jetsons look to it, and isn’t it cute the way it just pulls out and “clicks” into place? But would it be comfortable for reading or sleeping, or is it a member of the lumpy futon family? –Bay A.

Sofa beds by American Upholstery supposedly fix all the probs you mentioned, and are smaller-scale.

I considered one for a long time, then decided I didn’t want to make my in-laws *that* comfortable :)

My experience is that anything without arms is not comfortable for lounging.
My chaise for the porch looked great in the store, even better on the porch, but I never stay on it for more than 5 minutes, because I have nowhere to put my arms when I’m reading a book.

I guess you would need to see it in person and recline upon it to decide. ; )
