[apartment] couch-like things

[wispfox]

OK, upon multiple suggestions, invesigating queen-sized futons w/frames that are both couch and bed on craigslist. Worst case, I don't find anything. Best case, I find something that's in decent shape to replace the couch for very little or nothing at all.

Also going to keep an eye out for a bed for the guest room, because if it's cheap enough but still in good shape, why not? And, as someone pointed out, I can always sell things on craigslist, come time to wander the country!

Hmm... interesting. I do intend to check out anything before deciding to buy, so perhaps I might have realized that, but I doubt I'd have known it was wide-spread. Shall pay attention, then. :)

My experience matches this. I've owned a couple of double sized ones and a single sized ones. I've not seen a queen sized one. Also, if you have a choice, a hardwood frame will hold up better. I was unhappy with the quality of the inexpensive pine one I had, but it was cheep.

IME, full-size ones are fine for both sleeping and sitting.
