Yes Virgina, you can get a good nights sleep on a Sofa Bed Mattress.
Buying a replacement sofa bed mattress requires a different way of thinking than buying any other type of mattress.
- One important fact is that a sofa bed ( the couch unit itself ), has very limited space within it. For the couch to be comfortable to sit on, there is only room to store a 4" thick mattress. If the mattress were any thicker, your feet would barely reach the floor. So we have to pack a lot of moxie into that four inches.
- A second and different concept is that sofa bed mattresses can actually be supportive. In fact, a top quality mattress can do great things for sleeping on the couch. .
The reason why these thoughts are new to you is that no-one ever told you differently. In your whole life you may have only met one person who knows the facts. That person is the salesman who sold you the sleeper sofa. (Hide-a-bed stores are where they train used car salesmen.)
Manufacturers know that when you go to buy a sofa bed you mainly look at it as a sofa. You you sit on it to see how comfortable it is. You look at it to see if it fits your taste and complements the room. You look at the fabric, and check the quality of the upholstery. They know that when it comes to sleeping on it, you think "it's just a sofabed". You take it for granted that the sleep your guests get will be "sort of acceptable". The salesmen know that the last thing you think about is the mattress. So here is the point. The mattress that came with your sofa bed is the cheapest one the manufacturer can buy.
With the right mattress you will get a good nights sleep. With the right mattress you will never feel the bar. - - We make such mattresses. - -

Now
if that sounds tricky, you are right. Foam blows differently at the
bottom of the bun than it does at the top. That's because there is more
pressure at the bottom. It also blows differently from the spot it was
first poured into to the places it flowed last.
Can
you imagine sewing the last seam of a sofa bed mattress with an
ordinary sewing machine. maybe six guys holding the mattress while
the tailor zips one side along at a few inches a minute. Its a
ridiculous picture, but some people still make custom sofa bed
mattresses just this way.
