DVC Sofa Beds - I won one!

[GuardMusic]

After being amazed by these sofa beds while staying at BWV & BCV, I nearly turned them inside out to find out who makes them. It happens to be a company just a couple of hours from my house! While they specialize in hospitality-direct sales, they said I could order one. Unfortunately they were outside my price range.

Fast forward to a couple of months ago I was on their website and saw they had a "re-naming" contest going on for these feats of engineering greatness; so I entered. Never having gone back to see what happened during the finalist and open voting stages, I was shocked to receive a letter out of the blue stating my entry received the most votes and thus was the grand prize winner!!!

Since my house is themed like the Beach Club, I elected to have it covered in http://www.interiormall.com/cat/nsample.asp?id=187588. FYI the sofa beds are made by Logic Furniture: http://www.logicfurniture.com/.

So blessed!

How neat. Congratulations!

I was actually just wondering about the sofa beds in the DVC units, as I'm thinking about renting points for our next visit. Are they really that comfortable?

Congratulations! I love winning things and out of the blue is even more fun! Which name did you come up with? The One Touch or Dream Genius?

Your house is "themed"? You are one great Dis-er!

And, congratulations on your win!

That is so cool! Congratulations. Now you can feel like you are on vacation every day!

Yes the beds are comfortable. They are not your standard sleeper with the bar and thin mattress. They have a mattress that is thick as a regular mattress and our 25 year old son has used the sleeper basically every trip and has never complained at all.

Wow congratulations! What's the name you came up with? Or am I missing it on the website.

Several of the DVC units we've stayed in have this style sleeper sofa now.

No they are not comfortable as compared to a bed. Are these beds an improvement over sofa beds of the past, yes.

The ones mentioned, my mother fell getting out of it at the BCV due to the fact the back and seat cushions are right where you need to step out of the bed.

Also not all DVC resorts have the same type bed. The one from American Leather is what SSR has and we found them to the more comfortable due to the memory foam mattresses and solid support system under it.

They are fine for kids or a single young adult that can probably sleep anywhere. As to having a mattress as thick as a regular mattresses, the sofa beds do not have a mattress as thick as the beds at Disney or nearly as thick as the one I have at home.

Compared to a normal sleeper sofa, I think yes. Before Disney had those I always used an extra pillow to put between the bar and mattress. Compared to a regular bed...? I'd personally say it's about 80% equivalent?
