Need to know the ship and preferably the cabin number. Some HAL ships have long sofas that flip lengthwise. They are quite comfortable both as a bed and as a sofa. Others have a loveseat that unfolds like the traditional household sofa-sleeper. While I have not experienced one on HAL, I suspect they are less comfortable as either!

Cabin 5025 We'll be interested in responses to this too as our 20 yo son will be using the sofabed in our NS cabin. I recall reading in other postings that your cabin steward can bring a foam mattress topper if the mattress is too firm (or I suppose too thin). Be sure to let your steward know you need turn-down service so he/she can make up the sofa into a bed each evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These cabins (5022-46 port & 5025-49 starboard) have a firm-looking fold-out loveseat. I have no first-hand experience with these "third beds". As AF noted, if there are objectionable side-ways supports or just otherwise not comfortable, see what your cabin steward can do for you. Here is a video to give you more of an idea (does not show the sofa folded out). It is 5034 on the Rotterdam (sister ship to NS). I believe this is the mirror image (left to right) of your cabin.

JesseLivermore Posted October 19, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Westerdam VB had objectionable side-ways supports for me, but ok for my 7 y.o.Mattress was comfy. Related We took out the mattress out of bunk bed (objectionable to us in that it was over our heads!) and used that for my 15 y.o in my parents interior across the hall, which had a TON of room. mattress was comfy on floor. Might consider that Edited October 19, 2022 by JesseLivermore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt. Posted October 19, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 19, 2022 My 17yo has slept on the fold-out loveseat style of bed without complaints. She's young and light, but if she was uncomfortable, we would have heard about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieHans Posted October 19, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I slept on the fold out sofa and it was surprisingly just fine. My back would tell me if it wasn't comfortable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
