Pullout Sleeper Chair

[poohs_hunny]

How heavy are the pullout sleeper chairs (not sofas)? Is it doable to move it from the living room to the bedroom? Thanks!

It is not doable. You will damage the floor and doorframes.

They are very large and very heavy.

I should have added "damage yourself" too.

Definitely not something that can be done.

Are you guys speaking from experience?

I certainly haven't tried it. But, since it is a sleeper, it's probably pretty heavy.
Then when in the other room, it would need a substantial amount of floor space. I don't see it as a great idea.

Probably better off with a blowup mattress - less stress and easier to get out of the way by standing up after use.

Speaking from experience here (BLT). Extremely heavy....it’s a little too close to the door for the deck and just trying to reposition it is a chore. There wouldn’t be much room for it in the bedroom. I agree about a twin sized blowup mattress....we got one cheap at Walmart that self-inflated and just stood it on end in the morning.

I haven't tried to move one but even just extending it out, you can tell it is heavy.

And it's wider than the doorframe.

That is what we found when we just wanted to shift it a little without the room. It was heavy and only 3 of us there. I can’t imagine moving it in the room Or even by the table and through a doorway.

I have done it - albeit in copper creek cabin , and yes it’s heavy

DVC does request that you do not move the furniture.

I never realized that. Is it stated on the website somewhere?

Right? It’s like they have cement blocks hidden in the chair somewhere plus the feet don’t glide easily....perhaps by design. I do wish they could replace that chair with a little Murphy bed under the TV.

I hope nobody moves the one in our OKW room. I might fall down when I sneak in from the gurgling suitcase! Them pull out chairs are very comfortable. Way better than the couches.

Nope. You can keep those little fold down murphy beds under the television. The murphy bed under the television isn't even twin sized, just bunk sized. Those sleeper chairs are only in the one bedrooms that don't have studios that sleep five (OKW, BLT and AKV).

Lol.....I actually like them.....I’ve slept on the ones at Aulani, BWV, RIV. Actually I think they have them in the 1 bedrooms at RIV. I’m on the smaller side....5’1”, 130 lbs., and I’ve found them comfortable. The chair in BLT just seems too big for the space. It’s fine at AKL.....room seems bigger.
