re: Sleeper sofa - yay or nay

With all the metal mechanisms to make the sleeper work, the sofa is heavy as hell to move around.

I've only slept on them for short times twice in my lifetime and they are pretty damn uncomfortable since the mattresses are fairly thin to make it work as a sofa. I could easily feel the metal cross bracing under the mattress laying down on it.

Perhaps they've gotten better with time, but I wouldn't count on it.
