Materials: MÅNSTAD sofa bed

Description: We’re looking for suggestions for a mattress topper for the Ikea the MÅNSTAD sofabed as my boyfriend’s teenage son will be coming to stay for extended periods of time. Thoughts or suggestions to make it more comfy?

  1. Related to the Mansted but not to your question: does anyone know if you can paint the fabric of this couch somehow? My 2 year old decided to use it as her canvas and so far any effort trying to clean it is without success, leaving the couch ruined.

  2. We use the Sultan Tarsta pillowtip from Ikea. It makes the bed a lot more comfortable and folds up into the chaise when we’re using it as a couch. Also, don’t know how long you’ve had your Manstad or how often it has been used as a bed, but ours has softened up considerably as we’ve used it more.

  3. Ikea make a topper for it, although it’s more of a mattress protector, several of our guests have said it’s comfy enough for a couple of nights.

  4. I have this sofa and find that it’s quite comfortable on its own as long as your head is at the right end. Even with a topper he’ll want to make sure and put his feet at the end with the seam (where it juts out) as there is a hard wood section there. It’s unnoticeable when its at your feet but awful when it’s at your shoulders.

  7. I use the same sofabed when I stay over at my mom’s house.
    I just put an old, worn out duvet under the sheet. For me this is very comfortable.

  9. Absolutely, a memory foam mattress topper. My fiance slept on a sofa bed for several years quite comfortably with a nice thick memory foam topper. I’m convinced that those things can make a bed of rocks relatively comfy.
