My Sofa Bed

 

In just over three weeks’ time, my dear daughter will be visiting us.  We haven’t met up since late 2018 so I’m counting down the days! 

When we have visitors stay overnight they are usually bedded down on an inflatable mattress on the floor.  Not the most comfortable but adequate for one night.

With the thought of finding something better for daughter’s longer stay, I visited the Habitat For Humanity shop to look for beds and found this sofa-bed instead.

The sofa is the size of a single bed, in excellent condition, and very comfortable to sit on.  The base folds out to create a full-size double bed, which should be much more comfortable than sleeping on the floor.




This afternoon the shop called to see if I was home to accept delivery.  I was actually on the other side of the city, but came home immediately and was ready when the truck arrived.

Two lovely friendly young men carried it into the house for me and took the old Lazy-Boy chair away with them when they left.

Now I just need to rearrange the spare room so that everything will fit!

Have a great day 😊

Margaret.

  8. Sure is a great Sofa - we use a large Air Mattress for our guests staying overnight- not nearly as comfortable as a Sofa - we set up the Matress in my Study - it just fits! Stay well there in NZ. Regards. KEV.
