Ikea sofa beds

Hi all, I wonder if anyone has experience of Ikea sofa beds. It would be for our box room, mainly used as a sofa, maybe 15-20 nights per year as a bed. I originally liked the look of the Friheten with chaise longue

It gets good reviews for comfort as you sleep on the sofa cushions instead of a thin mattress on slats. But after measuring up, it's going to be too big for our room, so I'm not looking at either the Backabro or Vilasund as they are neater.

But they are the more traditional sofa bed with thin mattress over slats. I'm wondering how comfortable this would be. Is it likely to be like a glorified camp bed? Although it won't be used much, my elderly parents do visit and I'd like them to be comfortable.

Vallentuna?

We have it as our main sofa and it's very comfortable as a sofa. Haven't slept on it myself but I'm told it's a comfy bed by those who have.

That one is way too big unfortunately box room is small due to an indent from the stairs. The day bed Hemnes would also fit

But again I'm worried about the thin mattress.

The Hemnes is an extremely comfy single bed, so much so that we went and bought the same mattresses for our own bed. As a single it has two layers of mattress, as a double it has one.
As a double it's ok for one night but for a few in a row it's uncomfortable. A thin mattress topper would help a lot. (We have one in the baby room)
It's also not a great sofa. It's high and the sides make it awkward.

I'm surprised the Valentuna won't fit. Two next to each other would be 1.6m with a depth of 1m and would open out the same length as any sofa or other bed.
