My mom visited for the longest 15 days in history two Christmases ago. We survived but both agreed that the "fish rule" is a good one. for comfort and convenience, I vote for the aerobed.

I now have a regular bed and the aerobed resides in the guest room, which is perfect for when my niece spends the night or visitors come from the East Coast.

We slept on an aerobed for the first couple of months before we got a mattress. It was odd because it was almost like we were in a crib, as we had the frame of the bed, but no mattress. Anyhow, when we moved it was a pain to move everything. Mattresses are really heavy and taking apart the frame is such a hassle. Especially in a space so small, an aerobed is fine for now.

For one, it was much less expensive than a futon, and far more portable. It's comfortable, and for someone who is moving around a lot, it makes sense for me. Maybe when I finally set up in a more permanent location, I'll get to purchase a futon. Or better yet -- a real bed! Funny — I really prefer the aerobed.

LOL. That's supposed to be for your guests or for kids to jump on at the park. Take a tip from someone who watches HGTV all the time, get a futon matress. Why? It's multifunctional. In the day or when entertaining in a studio it will look like a living area. At night you open it up to reveal your sleeping area. Add that and a couple of rolling dividers and your set. Let me know if you need any other design ideas. Just please, get rid of the aerobed. You have a queen sized aerobed? LOL. That’s supposed to be for your guests or for kids to jump on at the park.
