I won. But I was shocked that he, a respectful fellow, would even suggest that I take the sofabed when I had effectively paid in full.

What do you think?

Neither. Ask for a rollaway. FAR more comfortable, unless you are over 6' 2" tall. I've used one when traveling with my family of 5. Usually it's supposed to be for one of the kids, but they inevitably crawl into bed with me and my wife, so I grab the rollaway and sleep soundly there.
