What bed do you use for 5 in one bedrooms?

If you sleep 5 in one bedrooms at BCV or VWL, what bed do you use? Do you just bring a sleeping bag or do you bring a inflatable mattress? It would be for a child age 10. TIA.

We've used a twin aerobed for many years. It folds up pretty small. We drive so it's a little easier for us. Recently I purchased another bed because I needed two. I bought this one off of amazon and I personally slept on it in my college daughters apartment for 4 nights. It was pretty comfy. I would highly recommend it if you are going to purchase one.

I agree, aerobeds are nice and better than just using a sleeping bag. However, if you're flying, like we usually do, you might want to think about an ultralight sleeping pad (https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...eeping+pad&rh=i:aps,k:ultralight+sleeping+pad). They're really compact when folded up compared to an aerobed or sleeping bag. It's comfortable enough even for adults, so would be fine for a 10 year old. Unless you're flying southwest, you have to pay for luggage, so we try to minimize everything we bring.

Great idea. I will consider this option. Luckily, my traveling DH has elevated status on multiple airlines so we don't need to worry about luggage costs these days.

Back in the days before OKW got the sleeper chair, 4 college friends and I flew to Disney and stayed in a 1 bedroom. My friends got the beds, and I took the cushions from the sofa bed and lined them up on the ground to form a pallet. Housekeeping provided extra sheets and a blanket and there were plenty of extra pillows to use. It was actually pretty comfortable since they have really thick cushions on the sofas. Maybe do that in combo with the sleeping bag?
