BWV Sleeper Sofa Comfort in 1BR?

[robinb]

My daughter and her boyfriend will be sleeping on the sleeper sofa for 5 nights in the living room on our next trip. How comfortable are the sofas these days? Do they need a mattress topper? If so, does the resort have them or should we buy a cheap one at Target? Thanks!

When is your stay? DVC is getting ready to start refurbishing rooms at BWV and they will be putting in true murphy beds instead of the sleeper sofas. The refurb is currently scheduled for fall 2023 through spring 2024.

Housekeeping does have a supply of mattress toppers which you can request upon arrival.

We are scheduled for mid-September, so before the refurb.

It's good to hear that they have mattress toppers. We'll ask for one when we arrive so they can choose to use it or not.

Personally I have never liked any of the sofa beds at Disney...the 'newer' ones from 10-15 years ago which fold out as a platform, rather than the bars and springs, are slightly better because at least they tend to lie flat and without bars sticking out, but I think they always need mattress toppers. And Disney does supply them on request. The murphys are MUCH better - but as you said, you'll be there before the refurb - so I'd have mattress toppers available when you get there.

The good thing with the flat platform style sofa beds is that they can be forced closed without removing the mattress topper - it takes a little force, but still folds up nicely. Back in the old bar type sofas, they could be either impossible to fold with the topper, or if you managed it, could get stuck and hard to reopen.

It's really showing its age, and it's not good. I've slept on it a whole lot and it puts the de in deluxe.

They are flipping them though, and the new Murphy ones are much better.

i don't think a mattress topper would matter, and I wouldn't want to borrow one, ew.

How is a mattress topper different from the mattress itself from an "ew" factor?

Indeed. The most important part of staying in a hotel bed is not to think about any of it.

I would switch to SSR before I would put 2 adults on the BWV sofa bed. If it was just a night maybe but rather use the bus than have 5 bad nights of sleep.

Well, we are there in 16 days so that’s not happening.

We just did 10 nights at BWV and my son didn't have any issues with the pull out sofa. He's 24 so a more forgiving body, perhaps, but I didn't hear any complaints. Now if I had to sleep on it...
