We wound up with a nice sturdy little convertible couch, thinking we'd need to add softness. It's very solid, and fine for a couple of friends with a movie. But we couldn't offer anyone a bed this way, and what if we want to bingewatch something ourselves? I like something to sprawl on.
My first attempt was folding an old comforter and seeing how that went. It was thick, but lumpy. It did allow for more comfortable sitting and lying down. So this was my next thought, and it's much better. I can push down on the pillow part, and feel the cushiony part of it all the way down. It won't completely flatten, and that's what was needed.
Experimental lying down was an improvement too, as the overall smoothing effect worked on all the parts, except where the backrests folded up or down. This dip was not as noticable with the lumpy comforter, but it was now. But rolling up an unneeded flat sheet to fill the dip, then put the pillowtop on, worked. The smoothing effect could take place.
This makes me think it could work for all kinds of issues convertible issues, too. From overly firm to feeling too much of what holds it together. It has a skirt which would fasten fine on a bed, and stays in place even partly utilized on something like a couch/bed.
I'd say if you wanted to use the couch part, and don't find it uncomfortable, I'd still try it as a bed for a few hours. Watch or read something, before offering it to a guest. They could wake up a few hours later, miserable, and unable to do anything about it. Plan on something like this that sits in a drawer with the bedding, and will be ready for action.
Since I use this couch mostly as a daybed, with a cover over it, adding this pillowtop makes it more comfortable for all kinds of lounging.
