Ikea Hemnes day bed ?

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50080315/I

My kids 12 to 15 need a new sofa in their room and thought this may be a good option for when friends stay over too.

If you have one is it comfy enough to use nightly as a sofa please? The bed would be used about twice a month, so the normal use would be for watching tv etc

Thanks

    I have daybed The railings at side come up quite high so not comfortable as sofa. Ok as bed
    Take them to ikea let them decide. Is cheaper than a sofa
  • Hello

    We use it as a normal bed for ds1 (he's 5!) it's deeper than a sofa would be, but with lots of cushions on the back it would be fine I think.

    Hope that helps x

    I would personally go for a sofa bed, not a day bed. They aren't very comfy for sitting for long periods, the rails are completely upright, even with cushions.

    OP- We bought the one you are considering and my advice is don't do it!!!
    Its uncomfortable as a couch and an absolute nightmare as a bed. The mattress slide off how ever you use it.

    What about a futon ?
