The charity shops will be open again soon. They will only take clean, fireproof ones so about £40. More patient and you can get one with drawers under so added storage.

We also have a Furniture Exchange which is primarily for people on benefits but anyone can buy. You just pay a bit more.

If it's not cost I bought one of these chair beds. The price made me gulp but a neutral colour it looks classy and really comfortable and wide both as chair and bed and no need for an extra mattress.. They do 3ft 4ft wide and 5ft.

I saw on in a charity shop too at about £20.

I'd road tested futons and camp beds and the cheaper ones you'd be better off on the floor.

Yes, I’ve been contemplating chair beds too, as this would turn just be an extra seat once the sofa is sorted. Good shout, thanks!

Do you have a link for this group ?

I know someone that may be in need of some furniture soon, and if this group operates in her area, it would be a big help.

You can get some really good stuff. I saw a locally hand made bed that would cost a thousand going for £60 with a matching covered drawer base. Spotless.

But when I looked for the futon of my choice and tried it for size I'd have fallen out when I rolled over even allowing for having to refill the cushion.

Try before you buy.

Freebear, it seems to be West Somerset. All to pot at this time when I tried to follow through to their partners but it's worth looking locally.

Also when I moved I had stuff is lovely condition left in this place that I didn't want/hadn't got room for. A friendly neighbour from the housing association acted as a go-between for someone he knew needed stuff and as a gift they didn't have to go through the usual channels. I felt good, the inbetween felt good leaving his client with comfort and hopefully, so did the recipient.
