Are all (unbounded) chain complexes over a field bifibrant?
$begingroup$
In his paper Homological algebra of homotopy algebras, Hinich defines a model structure on unbounded chain complexes where
- weak equivalences are the quasi-isomorphisms,
- fibrations are degree-wise surjections, and
- cofibrations are defined by the left lifting property.
Obviously, every object is fibrant. Now assume that we are working over a field $k$ instead of a general ring.
Question: Is it true that in this case every chain complex is also cofibrant?
I believe the answer to be yes, and I have an ugly argument that should prove it (even though I still have to check the details). Is there a sly/elegant way to show it?

Yes.
Every (possibly unbounded) chain complex of $k$-vector spaces is a (possibly infinite) direct sum of complexes of the form
$$dotsto0to kto0todots$$
and
$$dotsto0to kstackrel{sim}{to}kto0todots$$
and their shifts.
It is easy to show that each of these complexes is cofibrant, and so every complex is cofibrant.

it is not difficult to see that when $k$ is a field, then a cofibration is exactly a degree-wise injective map.
The key lemma is the following: a chain complex whose homology is trivial is homotopic to zero.
