Dismembered is approximately how I feel this morning after two nights on orangepeel & Head Teach's pull-down spare sofa bed. I have now affectionally named this ferocious piece of furniture "The Lack", since it is clearly deliberately designed to encourage sleep deprivation.
Where most beds have rest-promoting, comfy padding, The Lack has two sharp-edged iron bars, meaning there are only two positions that one can possibly adopt for more than two minutes. One is a cramp-inducing ball in between the two bars, and the other is hanging half out of the 'bed' altogether.
I am not the first visitor to suggest a swift trip to Ikea would be in order, however, my dear hosts are more than happy with their spare dungeon. Apparently The Lack is very effective at discouraging imposing guests from outstaying their welcome. No sh+t...
