Sofabed Recommendations Please!

I am looking for a 2 seater sofabed - won't be used that often, but will be used by elderly parents with bad backs, so needs to be comfortable as a bed. I don't want a huge one as the room is quite narrow, so narrower arms would save space.
I'm not that bothered whether leather or fabric - possibly prefer fabric as we are getting new leather one in the sitting room ( recommendations for that welcome too!)
Any recommendations received with thanks.

    Try to get one with wooden slats, not metal wire and springs, plus a good foam matress.

    Ikea - you know you will always get the pillows if they rip or become dirty.

    I also have a 2 seater/double bed one with metal frame an mesh. Ite has always horrible to sit on, even worse to sleep on. With age and not much use the metal has become bent too. The wire mesh has become stretched.

    Woodern ones (i've got 2 different ones) just seem to last longer, but non are really comfortable to sit on, though no one has ever complained are really comfortable to sleep on..
    GOOGLE it before you ask, you'll often save yourself a lot of time. ;)

    I got mine from Argos. Having slept in a variety of sofa beds over the years, and hated every single one of them, I found this one to be the most comfotable as a bed and a sofa. Everyone of the guests who have stayed with us have also said it was vey comfy...either that or they are too polite to say otherwise!!! It has a useful storage section under the seat too for sheets duvet etc
