1. Benefits of Armless Futons
Incredibly Small:
It's amazing how much space the arms on a couch or futon can take up. When your room is really tight, then every extra inch of furniture space can make a huge difference. Purchasing an armless futon will give you the seating and sleeping space you need with an incredibly small footprint.
Easily Placed Against a Wall:
Armless futons can be pushed up tight against a wall or into a corner taking up much less space than a couch or futon that has arms would.
Use Pillows for Armrests:
You won't even miss the armrests on your futon if you purchase some attractive pillows to use as armrests. Not only will the pillows provide comfortable support for your arms, but they can also give your room an added attractive pop of colour.
You can use decorative pillows for armrests
Multipurpose Furniture:
Armless futons, or any futon for that matter, has the added advantage of being multipurpose. Your futon can double as both a couch and a bed, meaning that you get two pieces of furniture that will only take up the space of one.
2. Where to Use an Armless Futon
College/University Dorms:
University and college dorm rooms are usually very tight for space and limited in what furniture you can easily fit inside. You often do not have space for a couch, but if you replace the bed with an armless futon, then you can convert your bedroom into a living space during the day. It will give you another place to study and when you aren't studying it can become comfortable extra seating where you can wind down or entertain.
Studio or Bachelor Apartments:
Studio and bachelor apartments are incredibly small so it is important that you use your space wisely. Armless futons are a great way to make the most of your limited space. The open floor plan of these types of apartments means that you don't have a separate bedroom. The beauty of a futon is that during the day your futon is your seating space for your living room and at night your living room becomes your bedroom by simply folding out your futon.
Small Bedrooms:
If you have a really small bedroom in your home that needs a bed, then an armless futon may be a great choice. You may think that you need to settle for just a twin or a double bed in order to have space to move around. You can instead purchase a queen-sized futon that can be folded up during the day to give you the space to walk around during the day and the comfort of a larger bed at night.
Armless futons work well in small bedrooms and studio apartments
Home Offices:
Many people are working from home today and have had to convert an extra bedroom or den into their home office. Purchasing armless futons for your home office space means that you won't have to completely lose your extra bedroom or den. This type of futon will easily fit in a small portion of your office and will be ready to use if you have overnight guests or if you just want to take a break during the day.
Basements:
A basement is a great place for armless futons. Whether you put it in your family room or in an unused corner of your basement, it is ready whenever you need more sleeping space.
It is even a great idea for summer sleeping if you do not have air conditioning. You can simply go downstairs and sleep on your futon in the cool basement air. And another great advantage is if you are only going to be using your futon from time to time, you can purchase one for a lot less than investing in a complete bed.
Trailers:
If you have an older trailer or camper that you are remodelling, then an armless futon is a great choice. The fact that it has no arms means that it can fit more easily into the small footprint of your trailer. Your futon can also be folded up during the day to give you extra space to walk around as well as additional seating space.
An armless futon would fit well in a camper or trailer
You can even get your armless futon custom-made to fit your camper dimensions exactly. It's much easier to replace the bed in your camper with a futon that is made for you instead of trying to make one yourself.
3. Types of Armless Futons
There are several different types or styles of armless futons that you can choose from. Here are a few popular ones from The Futon Shop.
L-Frame:
This L-Frame futon comes in both double and queen sizes. It is Canadian-made from beautiful unfinished pine. You can also choose from a wide selection of futon covers to match with your room perfectly.
Nantes:
The Nantes is another unfinished pine frame futon without arms. It also comes in a double and queen size and is made in Canada.
A-Frame:
The A-frame, or trifold futon frame, is made up of 3 parts. Two sections form the backrest and one section forms the seat. This style of a futon is your best option if you are on a budget and space is extremely limited.
Even though it has an incredibly small footprint, it offers you a great deal of versatility. It can be folded up completely to give you a great seat for studying during the day or night. If you want to stretch out a bit, then you can easily convert it to a chaisse lounge.
To do this, simply fold only one end up and leave your futon frame in an "L" shape as in the picture below. And when you are finally ready for sleep, simply stretch it out fully for a great single bed that can easily fit into any tight space.
