Futons

Although sleeper sofas, daybeds, and futons often serve the same purpose, there are some key differences. With sleeper sofas, you store the mattress under the frame when not in use. The futon mattress is part of the sofa and folds out when needed. Daybeds have a trundle that stashes under the daybed. They serve the main function of a bed, instead of a couch.

Since futons are often used as quick beds in living rooms, the most common mattress sizes are full/double and queen. Full-size is compact when folded but can easily accommodate two people when opened. Queen and king sizes are gaining popularity due to their extra space.

• Full-size: 75”w 54”d 8”h
• Queen-size: 80”w 60”d 8”h

The lifespan of a futon mattress depends on the quality of the material, frequency of use, and how you maintain it. On average, a futon mattress can last between 5 to 10 years.

Foam and innerspring mattresses generally last longer than cotton or wool-filled mattresses. They have a lifespan like regular mattresses, usually around 7 to 10 years.

Cotton and wool-filled mattresses tend to compress over time. You may need to replace them more frequently like every 5 to 7 years.

If your mattress is sagging, lacks firmness, shows visible wear, or looks flat, it is time to replace it.

Maintaining a futon properly can extend its lifespan and keep it comfortable. Here are some tips:

• Rotate and flip the mattress every 1-3 months to help distribute the wear evenly.
• Keep all screws and bolts on the frame tight to reduce uneven wear.
• Vacuum the upholstery regularly to remove dust and dirt. Spot clean spills and stains immediately.
• Use a mattress cover to reduce stains, wear, and tear. Find mattress covers here.

Below are different varieties of futons:

• Bifold Frames: The bifold frame is the most common and popular due to its versatility. With this frame, the mattress folds in half the long way. Perfect for use as a sofa and easily converted into a bed, we offer these frames in full and queen sizes.
• Armless Frames: If you need a futon for someone tall, the armless frame is the way to go. When opened up, this frame looks more like a traditional bed and offers more space for taller people. When closed, it provides a little more seating space than a frame with arms.
• Convertible Sofa Futons: These futons are a hybrid between futons and sofa beds. With sleek minimalist lines and a variety of colors, it can easily fit into modern and transitional spaces. Convertible sofa futons have thick poly-wrapped high-resiliency foam cushions. You can find them with or without arms for maximum size.
• Convertible Ottoman Futons: As an ottoman, chair, and bed, this type of futon is ideal for a guest room that doubles as a home office. The large size provides plenty of space to put your feet up after a long day. Then, it quickly converts into a comfortable platform sleeper for weekend guests. The foam cushion is super comfortable, and the contemporary style and compact size easily fit into any room.

When looking for the best futon for regular use, consider comfort and durability. Here are some tips to find the most comfortable one for you:

1. Thickness: Opt for a thicker mattress (at least 8 inches) for better comfort and support.
2. Frame Quality: Choose a sturdy frame that can support daily use without sagging or breaking.
3. Material Preference: Consider your comfort and mattress preferences. We carry a variety of softness and firmness options.
4. Dual Use: Ensure the futon you choose is comfortable for both sitting and sleeping. We offer trial periods to ensure your satisfaction.
5. Style: Because you can purchase a mattress and frame separately, you can customize the style and color! And you can change the color anytime you wish by simply changing the mattress cover.
