Which Sofa Bed to buy?

19 years ago

Hello!

My family is currently going through the process of choosing a sofa bed, out of two top choices. Both are being offered cheaper than they would otherwise be (wheeling and dealing with the salespeople).

Here is the problem, both sofas are similar, the same color, and just minor differences that add up to them being equally desirable. Both are microfiber, one is suede, the other a softer thicker microfiber.

One sofa is a la-z-boy sofa bed, the model Daphne. The mattress in the sofa is comfortable and higher end, plus it is a queen. I believe that the brand is a good one to get a sofa bed in, but i'm not entirely sure.

The second sofa is a Flexsteel sofa bed, with a full sleeper. I've read varying opinions on the brand.

We'll be making the decision rather soon, If I could get feedback on which brand is better/more reliable, that would be great!

I have a LazyBoy with the Slumber Air air mattress and it's very comfortable and has held up well.

I have the Lazy-boy Daphne sectional with queen sleeper in my family room. The sofa & sleeper gets a lot of use with both kids & overnight guests. We bought it about 2 years ago. I have the plum-colored (I believe the color was discontinued) microfiber and love it. The material and workmanship of the sectional has exceeded my expectations. It is a large sectional so be sure to have accurate measurements of your space. The sofa portion is very comfortable & most people do not realize there is a sleeper in the one section. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I looked at buying the Daphne sofa for my living room but I think the dimensions are off. I don't know anything about the flexsteel product so I can't comment one way or the other. Either way be sure to buy those disk for moving furniture as the Daphne is very heavy to move otherwise.

Good luck in your purchase!

If it is not too late...I have had both Flexsteel and LazyBoy. The Flexsteel was better by far. More comfortable both to sit on and sleep on; held up better in appearance over some 10 years for each one. I got rid of the Flexsteel because I completely changed the look of the room. Got rid of the LB because it was not comfortable and looked worn. I am currently considering purchasing another sofa, and am looking at Flexsteel.
