I have been saying for a few months that I need a sofa bed for when friends and family come to stay rather than them having air beds on the floor. This was ok in theory but the biggest issue (aside from paying for it) was where were we going to put it.
Well the kids kept fighting at the dining room table at meal times, it was used as a dumping ground for anything and everything and caused more arguments than it was worth. So I did what all "normal" people do - saved up for a sofa bed, dismantled the table and put it in the shed and put the sofa bed in the dining room!
I didn't just want any old sofa bed, it had to be lather or faux leather so that it matches my main sofas. I did look at the one that was the same make and range as my sofas but it was dearer than the actual sofas cost so I didn't bother. But I did find a nice £495 one reduced on ebay to £114 so I got it.
It arrived today and after much trying we managed to get it built. It has opened up the dining room area no end, and will provide extra seating at parties etc. Plus the kids can use it with the folding card tables for meal times. AND it is open between the base and the floor, so we are going to get some under bed storage boxes and put lil mans train set there (well what he's not using of it anyway).

November 27th 2015 - 3-in-1 sofa bed
Following on from a post a few days ago of changing the boys room around to make more space and buying a 3-in-1 sofa bed I can now report that it has arrived.
2 big boxes with the postman outside the door in the pouring rain! Good job neither were heavy or it would have been a 2 man job to lift them.
We have a blue and silver version of the 3-in-1 sofa bed as boys room is blue. My 1st thoughts were they were not going to be very comfy as didn't look that deep. But when we opened it out and I sat on it, it is actually comfy.
the 3-in-1 sofa bed is made all in 1 piece of foam and covered. It can be stored folded as a cube, opened out with the small ends up as a low sofa or opened out fully with the small ends as a sofa bed. This is going to be stored as a cube so that the boys have room to play etc and it will only be opened out when people stay.
The boys have all laid on it and said that it is really comfy and we have had arguments over who was sitting on it to read. The cat has also given her seal of approval and has been laid on it asleep since we got in from the school run.
The only downside is its not long enough for adults to sleep on and we thought it may be as it was listed as a uni/student sofa bed. but if we have to buy a piece of foam the same depth then we will do, but as its mainly going to be used by the kids and their friends its not a big problem.
