Sleeper Sofa For Sale!

THIS IS NOT MY USUAL SORT OF BLOG POST, BUT I'M TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT ON THIS SOFA!

Sleeper Sofa - $675

Nearly perfect condition, rarely used. Opens to a full (double) sized bed. No dirt, no smell. It's only blemish is a tiny blue ink speck on one seat cushion. That cushion is easily turned over and the stain is hidden. It's very comfortable to sit on. The plastic tape on the front of the arms (in the photo) is there to prevent my cat from scratching it, and is easily removed.

As a bed, it is like other similar sleeper sofas: you wouldn't want to sleep on it every night. In my experience younger people are comfortable on it for a few nights, but it is not a very good sleep surface for those of us with more aches and pains.

I paid $1400 at Danish Inspirations five years ago.
