So what are the opinions on VWL sleeper sofas?

How comfortable are the sleeper sofas at VWL?

Thanks.

Not up to par with a real bed, naturally, but better than the medieval torture devices you find at most hotel suites. I'd rate them adequate. Then again, I've never been on a truly comfortable sleeper sofa. . .that's what you call an oxymoron.

My DS17 has been sleeping on one for the past few years (he's also a big boy) and he's never complained.

DS (10) and DS (7) sleep on the sofa. They complain that the bed sags in the middle so they both roll to the center and wake each other up. We have had this problem each time they have slept in the sofa bed, including our recent stay in June.

I just asked my 16 yr old DD and she said they were "OK". She said they do sag in the middle, but they aren't terrible.

Not great, but a bit more comfy than a bed of nails. The sofa beds at all of the resorts tend to wear out rather quickly and I think the ones at VWL are still original equipment.

No real complaints from my kids either, but we do bring a foam "egg carton" pad which seems to help. I seem to recall that Mousekeeping will bring you one if you ask for it.

Last stay I actually preferred the pullout to the bed! No, it's not luxury--could use a bit more 'body', but it is better than the bar in the middle type!
Incidentally DH & DS found the VWL bed just fine, while I thought it was far too hard--

That's good to know that you can get additional padding for the sofa.

The thing is, I slept one night on the pull-out at SSR (because I had opened the balcony door to listen to the storm) and I didn't find it all that comfortable. But, I'm not a teenager and my back was cranky.

So, I guess my real question is that if I invite someone (adults) to travel with me who would otherwise be sleeping on the sofa, should I get either a two-bedroom or an additional studio for them?

I thought both the sofa and the bed at SSR were more comfortable than at VWL. The sofa cushions are also a little on the firm side.

My DD reports "Really comfy actually, I didn't think they were that bad at all." Mind you, she sleeps by herself and weighs under 125 lbs. so that might make a difference.
