DaisyGirl55 Posted August 23, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I am sailing next year on the Freedom of the Seas in a balcony cabin with a couch for a third person. I was wondering if anyone would post their thoughts about sleeping on the couch. Is it basically a twin size bed? Is it really comfortable enough to sleep on? Is it kept as bed during the day, or is it reverted back to a couch during the day? Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam84 Posted August 23, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2009 The couch bed I slept on in the GS was a full size bed. I'm an adult, although a small one (100lbs, 5ft 3in), but I was fine. I did not find it uncomfortable at all. I think for larger people or someone with back problems it may be an issue, but for the average size person who is not a "picky" sleeper it is fine.

DaisyGirl55 Posted August 23, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Thanks! My aunt plans on joining us, and as she is only 5'2" I am sure she will be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted August 23, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Daisygirl...If your aunt is not comfortable, just ask your cabin steward for an egg crate pad for the the sofa bed. Makes a big difference in comfort. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 23, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2009 The bed will be "put away" each day, and then brought out for the night. Your attendant will take care of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofingPrincess Posted August 23, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2009 We had three in a cabin on our Serenade cruise, and one of our group had slept on the sofa bed before and had learned a trick that worked (for her, at least): she asked our cabin steward to make it up with a double eggcrate pad. He stowed the pad behind the sofa during the day (when the couch was back into couch configuration - when it's open, there is very little room in a regular cabin).
