At times, everyone experiences the vexing problem of having too many overnight guests and not having enough beds to accommodate everyone comfortably. There are some not very satisfactory solutions to this problem. A pallet or sleeping bag can be put on the floor, someone can sleep on a couch, or three or four children can be put in the same bed. A better solution is to give a resounding, “Yes!” to the question, “Is a single chair bed the solution for me?”
There are several benefits to having one or more single chair beds available for use when you need them. An obvious consideration is that it is what the name says – a chair. This kind of chair bed can be placed in most rooms, and it appears to be nothing more than a comfortable chair. When it is needed as a bed, simply unfold it, and there it is – a bed.
A second benefit is that a chair bed is relatively inexpensive when compared to the cost of a regular bed with its mattress, box springs, and bed frame. It especially becomes a bargain when you consider that it does not require an additional bedroom to accommodate it.
For some people, the greatest value in having one or more chair beds is the aesthetics of it. It can be an attractive addition to a family room, a living room, a bedroom or even a sunroom. It will not attract attention to itself as a bed that is out of place. Many colors, patterns and styles are available to choose from.
Some chair beds are made to best accommodate children and youth. The home owner can present the idea that sleeping on this kind of bed is a special treat and is a kind of prize, or reward, for good behavior. Children will be eager to sleep on such a desirable bed.
There is a final consideration in answering the question, “Is a single chair bed the solution for me?” This is a long term solution to a long term problem. Once you purchase a single chair bed, you have it. It will last for a long time. There will be no need to replace it, unless you decide you want a different color or style. The single chair bed is a solution to a very common problem many families experience.
