sofa bed, worst of all worlds
How often do people sleep over? How often do you sit on the sofa in that room?
I'm sure a fold down bed will be better, and I'm not going to pretend a sofa bed is amazing, but those pull out ikea day bed sofa things made of mattresses are decent to sleep on (like the HEMNES) . I've spent a huge amount of time sleeping on the one in my kids room.

theres currently no sofa (or sofa bed) in that room but we imagine it will be the our main 'living room' during the summer (as its also a lot cooler down there than our lounge), so we would be spending quite a bit of time in there.
The key is that we want it to feel more like a living room than a spare room, so having:
a) ugly / uncomfy sofa bed feels like a compromise
b) an always visible double bed in one corner ruins the 'living room' feeling

Has anyone ever looked into / costed / had done a pull down bed in the UK, seems to be very uncommon here but seems like the best option for us.
We have a split level townhouse over 6 half levels, entrance is on 'level' 2, level 1 is the only access to the garden and is an en-suite 'master' bedroom that we use as a spare room atm.
Its great as a spare room because it gives guests privacy, but it also means we never use that room, which in turn means we rarely go out into the garden..
We want it put in a sofa and a small desk, while in turn keeping a double bed (thats not a sofa bed, worst of all worlds) and thinking of trying to install into one of the walls (3.5m) full height and width storage with a folding bed
