Upgrades to Make a Sleeper Sofa Worth Sleeping On

My wife and I recently bought a barely used, secondhand West Elm Rochester Queen Sleeper Sofa for an amount that still stung even though it was about 90% off the retail price. Finally, I thought, a luxury sleeper sofa, here to allay a lifetime of complaints about flimsy mattresses and crossbars jabbing into backs. But when we maneuvered the thing into position and got the bed out for a test rest, it was as bad as every sofa bed I’ve ever used. The mattress sagged so much in the center—and tacoed up on the sides—that it almost enveloped the person lying in the middle.
