Sofa bed in a suite??

[sugarpink]

Three friends are thinking of sharing a suite that has a sofa bed. Has anyone tried to sleep on the HAL sofa beds? How bad is it? Is the mattress tolerable for at least 14 nights?

We are considering a Neptune Suite or similar.

 

Thank you!

It's tolerable for one person.

I agree..... it is about double bed to queen size but really not suitable for two adults.

For one person it is fine. My 56 year old niece slept on it and said it was fine.

Our 36 yo DD has thus far spent 14 nights over 2 cruises sleeping on the single that the sofa in some of the Neptune Suites convert to and has never had a complaint. She has also slept on a similar bed in a Vista Suite for a 17 day cruise, again quite comfortably. If you get one of these rooms (accommodating 3 people) you might put the shortest person in the sofa convertible as I know I can't extend fully in this bed (I'm 6'4") but DD (she's 5'7") can.

I agree.

My 20-year-old son agrees, also. He's spent every one of his nights on HAL on a sofabed, most of which were in suites. (The others were comfortable, as well, he says.)

DS18 and ds8 shared a sofa bed on our last cruise. Then dd15 swapped with ds18 for the second half. The bed was comfortable and there was just about enough room for the two kids.

The key here, it seems, is that one of the two sleeping on that bed was an 8 year old. How would it have been for the 15 and 18 year old to share the bed?

I think two small children would be fine, but other then that, one young adult/adult, works the best on a Neptune Suite sofa bed.

Anyone older than 20 will most likely find any sofa bed to be uncomfortable.

If it is a superior or Neptune suite on a Vista class ship, I slept on one and found it very comfortable. I took it, and gave our 18 year old son one of the beds as he was too tall for it. They are a single flip over rather than pull out and the mattress is much thicker than the pull out sofa beds in the regular verandah cabins. I'm 5'5", but anyone much taller would find it a little short.
