ocean angel Posted September 15, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Anyone had experience sleeping on the couch being made into a bed? I hear the bedding on Carnival is wonderful, but does that include when you use the couch?:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted September 15, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2006 It's just a couch, with the cushions removed :p LOL! It's not like a foldaway bed... The steward will make it up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted September 15, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Anyone had experience sleeping on the couch being made into a bed? I hear the bedding on Carnival is wonderful, but does that include when you use the couch?:p Our youngest son (5' 7") slept on this couch on our last 2 cruises and it was fine. As stated earlier, they simply remove the back cushions and make it up like any twin. In fact, we just left ours made up as a bed all the time. We did not have the Cabin Steward convert it back and forth (put on the bedding...take off the bedding....etc). We simply treated it like any single bed in the room.

Guess we'll have to flip to see who gets it. I've been reading about how wonderfully comfortable the Carnival beds are and I know that a couch made into a bed is not the most comfortable place to sleep!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been reading about how wonderfully comfortable the Carnival beds are and I know that a couch made into a bed is not the most comfortable place to sleep!:) The sleeper sofas I have slept on have usually had a bar that you could feel through the mattress...not very comfortable at all. The couch that makes into a bed on the ship was a lot more comfortable by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Live_2_Cruise Posted September 15, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The kids used the couch/bed and said it was one of the most comfortable beds they had ever slept on in a hotel/cruise. Maybe it was all the late night and early mornings and just the sleep was all they needed, but I'm pretty sure it was comfortable. No complaining what-so-ever.

ppeckham Posted September 15, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The sofa is not a sleeper sofa so there is no bar in the middle of your back. As others have stated, the cabin steward removes the bolsters from the back. During my last cruise with my daughter (13), mother and aunt, I took the sofa while my "elders" took the bed and my daughter too the pull down. I found the sofa quite comfortable - no trouble sleeping. I'm rather picky about my bed, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbor Posted September 15, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 15, 2006 There was a thread awhile back and I posted a link to a picture of a room with the couch made into a bed. I can't get to the picture except through that thread. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=391318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_duck Posted September 15, 2006 #10 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The Cat 12s on the Destiny and Conquest classes have a regular pullout sofa. Please note this photo is prior to the new bedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusinAgain Posted September 16, 2006 #11 Share Posted September 16, 2006 My 23 year old son said it was not comfortable at all, so guess when I go on a trip next year with my Aunt and sister, I will get a 1A cabin just for me so I can have a nice bed.

VCgal Posted September 16, 2006 #15 Share Posted September 16, 2006 The sofa/bed in our 6a on the Valor was no where near as comfortable as the real beds - very hard. However, if you prefer a hard mattress, it will be perfect! Even so, my son managed to sleep like a log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHP Posted September 16, 2006 #17 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have never slept on it, but our teenage son never complained (and they complain about everything, don't they??) Good thing he liked it, because it is what he is sleeping on in 22 days !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG DADDY ONE Posted September 16, 2006 #18 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have had the opportunity to use the couch as a bed twice. Once when I was the third person. the other time i did it by choice. they are very comfortable and i am 375 lbs. and no bar or anything to interfere with sleep.
