Is there any place for a Queen Aero bed at BCV or BWV?

I don't think there is, but I saw one yesterday at BJ's for $99, which I thought was a great deal. I have a twin, but would love the queen,since my teen boys refuse to sleep together now...

You didn't say which size unit. If you are thinking of the BWV studio, I'd say no. (I'm assuming from your post that you will be using the sofa as a bed).

A queen aero MIGHT fit in the BWV 1 bedroom, but you'd probably have to be "creative" with the furnishings.

Haven't seen the BCV units. Believe they are the same size as the BWV, but are arranged a little differently. Still think the studio is too small for a queen aero.

Maybe some other posters have actually tried a queen and can speak from experience. Good luck!

I assume you mean in a Studio at BCV/BWV. My guess is 'yes', if you don't use the pull-out sofa-bed. But then again, what would be the point of replacing one bed with another that you have to drag down there. A queen _might_ fit in the area around the wet-bar/bathroom sink, but then you'd be climbing over it to get to the bathroom.

A better bet would be two twins since they can be wedged in seperately.

Another option would be to get two self-inflating sleeping pads. Basically, they are open-cell foam mats wrappd in some kind of vinyl/plastic with an air valve. Open the valve, air flows in, close the valve, air stays in providing a comfy sleeping spot. When you are done, open the valve, roll up the mat-pressing the air out, close the valve. You have a nice compact rolled sleeping mat. These were designed for hikers/campers, and you can probably find them in any camping section or on-line store (like rei.com).

Hope this helps,
Joe

in a 2-bedroom last week at OKW. My son (19) did not want to sleep on the sleeper sofa. We moved the coffee table over and it fit just fine between the sofa and the dining table. He was very comfortable on the Aerobed. The one we bought was the same one you are looking at, a queen from BJ's for $99. They had 2 beds, one with the pump attached and one that was not. We originally thought the one with the pump not attached would be the way to go, in case you did not have easy access to an electrical outlet. We then decided it would be easy to pack a small extension cord to reach an electrical cord when necessary. Hubby thought that the battery in the rechargeable pump would eventually wear out and you would spend some money replacing the pump.

Keep in mind that the OKW 1 & 2 bedrooms are significantly larger (250 - 300 sq. ft larger) than those at BWV, VWL & BCV. My understanding is that the difference is especially noticable in the living/dining/kitchen areas.
