College Dorm Room Sofa

Can you actually fit a sofa in a dorm room? My son (Who’s job is Dorm Admin) says you can!

Most of the kids get right in and start making the beds into a loft style bed. This gives them room to have a more comfortable seating arrangement for a dorm room chair or sofa.

While the gals seem to favor a soft, plush chair to curl up in.. the boys want a sofa to sit facing the TV for gaming or watching video.

Something new has jumped up in popularity for dorm room chair… and it’s very manly because it’s black!

It’s an FULL Size Inflatable Sofa Bed (or couch). What is so cool is it transforms into a bed.

The product description says it all:

Depending on the chambers you inflate and the configuration, the Smart Air Beds 5 x 1 Inflatable Sofa Bed can be:

* An air bed that measures 79″ x 54″ x 8″, perfect for two people as a short term sleeping solution
* A raised air bed that measures 40″ x 54″ x 16″, great for a temporary bed for a small child (please provide parental supervision)
* A relaxing lounger – from the air bed position, just inflate the back and arm rests
* A sturdy recliner – take the lounger and flip it over so the arm/back rest is sitting on the ground
* And of course, a spacious two person sofa (54″ wide with ~ 40″ of seating space)

Five uses from one product. The Smart Air Beds 5 x 1 Inflatable Sofa Bed is made of PVC vinyl which is easy to clean or repair should any kind of mishaps occur (comes with a patch kit). I think repairs would be necessary – often… so a patch kit is a great addition!

Also included absolutely FREE with your purchase are a detachable AC pump with three nozzles (made to plug in to US outlets – a $24 value) and a lightweight carry bag to take everything with you (a $4.99 value).

When you are finished using the product, deflation and storage is a snap. Simple release the air through the three quick release valves (most of the air will immediately evacuate), use the deflation port on the AC pump to suck out the remaining air, fold the sofa up, and store it in the carry bag. When it’s all said and done, the item is no bigger than an average gym bag!
