    Default Sleeper sofas replace Murphy beds?

    We’ve long been fond of using the murphy bed we stayed in a Fort Wilderness cabin.

    I have recently read reviews of the cabins that speak of the switch from Murphy bed to sleeper sofa – some like it, others not so much.

    We are booked for a wheelchair accessible cabin in December. The Details listing the beds include a sleeper sofa. I am assuming cabins are being redecorated – and I allow we could have Murphy bed or sleeper sofa this stay.


    Does anyone reading this have any experience with Fort Wilderness cabins sleeper sofas? What size is =the mattress? – full or queen?

    One posted review said he wished he had brought a mattress topper for the sleeper sofa – that’s something I can easily do if I know what to bring.

    My family like the cabins at Foot Wilderness!

    It is my understanding that they cabin refurbishment which started in November was completed earlier this year. The sleeper sofa is queen size as is the bed in the master. If you google Fort Wilderness Cabin Renovations you'll find photos of the completed cabins. IMO the kitchens looks so much better but they've gone from a 4 burner to 2 burner cooktop. Additionally, the oven is gone and has been replaced by a microwave/convection oven over the counter.

    We've booked an accessible cabin for August, so if no one else has first-hand experience, I promise to take lots of pictures and give you the scoop!

    Yes, all the murphy beds are gone, and I've also heard to bring a fitted sheet for the sleeper sofa, the other ones just slip right off.

    We just returned yesterday from our very first stay in a cabin (LOVED IT) and I opted to let the kids sleep in the bedroom and I stayed on the pull out sofa. I thought the mattress was extremely comfortable and couldn't believe I was actually sleeping on a pull out. I slept great every night!!! It's a queen sized mattress. The bottom sheet is not fitted but we had no problem with it. There is a mattress pad on there as well. I have arthritis in my hips and I can say that I had no stiffness getting out of bed in the morning. For me, I wouldn't say a mattress topper is needed.

    This is interesting. The sleeper in our cabin (an accessible cabin) was a double. We did bring a double fitted sheet, and it meant that we didn't need to remake the bed/tuck it in every night.

    DH slept on the pull-out every night, and there were no complaints! In fact, the beds in the bedroom were too soft, and I think the pull-out was more comfortable.

    I have a ton of pictures, which I will get up and shared as soon as I can.

    Hi Beliver!

    It looks like there's a double fitted sheet in my future. Thanks for the update and I look forward to seeing you pictures.

    i used to have POFQ as my Disney Home until I became the grandparent who books cabins at FortWilderness. At FW, we have moved from a few days to a week+ with my son and co-planner making super plans.

    I would bring a queen....just in case. To me, it seemed larger than a double. This is from allears:

    The final changes to mention are the ones that happened in the living area. The Murphy Bed is gone! In its place is a new queen sleeper sofa upholstered in a material that will repel just about anything that you could think of spilling on it including red wine! I find the color a bit too light for the decor but am happy that they addressed the possibility of spills happening on the furniture.

    Either way -- I agree that it was very comfortable. Next year we are back to the WL....I'm going to miss the cabins and the whole resort. Loved it.
