Is there such a thing as a *comfy* sofabed?
All the ones that I have tried have been both uncomfortable to
sit on and to sleep on.

 I have a dog like that too :0(
 Have you considered a futon? I have found them to be infinately more comfy
to sit on than any sofa bed I have had. Since most have no arms, there are
none for dogs to chew :0)

Yes. Ours was an ancient one, a huge padded settee with removable padded 
seat and back cushions, padded arms (no, not wooden arms) and a very 
heavy fold-out concertina-style metal frame with futon-type mattress.  
Everyone who slept in it said how comfy it was, and it was a lovely soft 
sofa to lounge about on too.

Downside was it weighed a ton, could be just-about moved by two strong 
people and liked to take door handles (and even frames) with it...

Don't want a futon. Yuck. Most of the time we'll be lounging on it as a 
settee while reading or on the phone, so something big and with arms and 
cushions is much more suitable.

The modern ones in the catalogues look horrible, small, tinny, 
cardboardy, cheap and uncomfy both as sofas and as beds.

Yes: there is one in my house! The bed surface is one piece of 
completely unstretchy fabric suspended between strong springs on a 
folding metal frame, with a foam mattress on top. The sofa has big firm 
cushions and rounded soft arms. It is an excellent sofa and bed.

that sounds a lot like the one i have at home too, which is great to 
sleep on, if a little form as a sofa. It's big and heavy though, and 
unfortunately you don't seem to be able to get them like it in the shops 
any more :(
