Sleepover Sofa Bed

We'd been shopping for a sofabed for our basement in a half-hearted sort of way for a couple of years, half-hearted for a few reasons: We weren't sure if we could fit a sofa down the stairs, didn't think the bed part of a sofabed would be as comfortable as our Aerobed, didn't particularly want to spend the money. My wife found BenchmadeModern through Wirecutter, we visited the site, loved the styles, and clicked the link to ask the owner, Edgar, about fitting a couch down the stairs. He sent a video reply with preliminary thoughts and directed us to Lisa in customer service. Fast forward 6 months and the couch is now happily in our basement. The process hasn't been flawless. There have been delays due to COVID and the couch got a couple of nicks en route to us, but the customer service has been exceptional and everything to-date has been resolved promptly and without any push-back. The couch itself is delightful: very comfortable and looks great. We haven't slept on it yet but based on a few minutes laying on it, it's much more substantial and bed-like than sofabeds we've experienced in the past. We couldn't be happier but admittedly, it's only been a week since arrival. :-)
