Question Couch?!

Ok I have a 2004 Prowler. The fold down couch is beyond uncomfortable. I need to replace it. What have any of you used? Or suggest?

Thanks!

Foam mattress / camping pad? We have jackknife couch and this is what we use on the occasion we have a guest along with us. I think it's a full size bought from Costco. Storage is a bit of a problem. It stays in the garage until a trip with guest sleeper comes along.

Well we live in the camper. We tried a foam on it but didn't really last. Couch is so uncomfortable to even sit on. Tried pillows etc.

Don't know how much room you've got, but this is incredibly comfortable!

Replace the couch with a Lazy Boy recliner. They recline almost flat and you can easily sleep in it.

For cheaper, how about a couple padded outdoor reclining chairs? They fold up for travel and we can easily take a nap in them.

Also, you could scout out some estate or garage sales and look for regular recliners.

Is the couch your primary bed or do you have a regular bed and just use the couch for sitting?

It isn't my bed but when my mom comes for a few weeks etc. But the couch is just uncomfortable for even sitting. Just trying to come up with a good solution that wont break the bank!

What about a futon couch? Discount stores sometimes handle them. They're a LOT cheaper than a regular couch or chairs....I've seen some for around $100 or so.

Which model is this? What are the dimensions and how far must it sit from the wall?

Never mind. I am trying to find something to replace a jack knife sofa. Looks like you have more room. Wish there were a way to delete a post.
