6 Best Futon Gifting Ideas this Holiday Season

1. Mattress Topper 

Give the gift of comfort with a mattress topper especially designed for futons. With a mattress topper, your loved one can add another layer of cushioning and support to their futon for even better sleeping or relaxing. Not only will it provide extra cushioning for a better night's sleep, but it will also help to expand the life of the futon mattress. Look for futons made from hypoallergenic materials if allergies are your biggest concern.


2. Decorative Pillows

Futons are versatile pieces of furniture that can immediately transform a room when accessorized with decorative pillows.  Pick a few pillows in different shapes, sizes, and colors to give your loved one's futon an extra pop of color or a warm feel. 

Look for a mix of textured and patterned pillows that will work with their existing decor style. From bold prints to soft textures, there are options for everyone's taste. Consider throwing in a few accent pillows with complementary colors for an added pop of color.


3. Cozy Throw Blankets 

There's nothing like snuggling up with a soft, cozy blanket on a chilly night. Throw blankets are a must-have accessory for any futon and make them even more inviting. Look for a warm material like faux fur or knitted chenille that will be soft to the touch, while also being hypoallergenic if allergies are your biggest concern. 

Choose something in a solid color or classic pattern to easily blend with their existing decor style. Give the gift of warmth (and style) with a throw blanket in a trendy pattern or color. Bonus points if it has tassels or fringe for added texture.


4. Bedding Set 

Upgrade your loved one's futon with a bedding set. The set includes a fitted sheet, duvet cover, and pillowcases. It will provide a luxurious feel.  Look for subtle, timeless patterns or bold, modern designs that will add style to a space. 

Choose cool colors like blues and grays to create a sense of serenity in the bedroom or use bright hues of orange and yellow to make their futon pop with personality. Bedding sets come in different fabric weights so you can find something suitable for all climates. Look for one made from high-quality, breathable materials like cotton or linen for maximum.


5. Lap Desk 

For the futon owner who likes to work or study from the comfort of their bed, a lap desk is the perfect gift.  This handy accessory allows them to set up a laptop, take notes, or just rest their book while staying comfortable and supported. 

Look for one with adjustable legs so they can easily switch from sitting to lounging positions. With a lap desk, your gift recipient will have a designated workspace that makes it easier to get things done without ever leaving the bed. They'll be sure to thank you!


6. Wall Art 

Give the gift of art that will add personality and charm to any room with a well-chosen piece of wall art. Whether it’s a colorful photography print or a hand-drawn mural, art is an easy way to add visual interest and warmth to the space. Wall art also makes a great conversation starter when guests come over. 

Choose something that speaks to your gift recipient's unique style for a thoughtful touch. Look for something that complements the futon's color scheme and style. Whether it's a painting, photograph, or print, wall art is a thoughtful gift that will be appreciated for years to come.


There are plenty of gift options for futon owners that will make their space more stylish and comfortable. From mattress toppers to decorative pillows, these gifts are thoughtful and practical. Whether you're looking for a birthday or holiday gift or just want to surprise a loved one, we hope this list has given you some inspiration.
