Would you rather sleep on a cot size bed with a real mattress or a larger fold out sofa bed?
I have a 2br/2ba condo with a small den. I do short term rentals in the place and use the den as an extra sleeping room and tv room for kids. The den is too small to be converted to a real bedroom. I've been using fold out sofas for the space but am considering switching to two day beds as the sofa bed folded out leaves no room for other furniture or to move around. The day beds would have a cot size mattress which is 30" x 74". Compare to twin size at 38" x 74" and fold out sofa bed of 60" x 80".
Current sofa folds out to 60" x 80" bed. It's an american leather comfort sleeper which has no bars or springs so it's the cadillac of sofa pullouts. You still have to remove six sofa cushions, put them somewhere, then pull out and make the bed to sleep in it. I can fit two cot size day beds in the space which eliminates having to deal with a pullout sofa and should work really well for 2 children.
My question is as an adult if you had to sleep for a few days(a week max) in a bed with a cot sized (30" x 74") real mattress would that be preferable/equivalent to sleeping on a larger pull out sofa(60" x 80"?)
If you were renting with your family would you rather have two cot size day beds in the den for the kids or one fold out sofa?
Edit to add that sofa isn't long enough to sleep on in comfort. Significantly less length and width compared to cot size.
