Futon Bedroom Ideas
1. Add Fun Mood Lighting
Are you looking for some fun futon bedroom ideas? Here's one. Add some cool string lights along the top of your futon to make it really shine. Stringer lights are very popular so why not take advantage of this awesome trend. If your futon is in a darker corner, the extra lighting can brighten up the room as well.
2. Turn Your Living Room into a Guest Bedroom
One of the great advantages of purchasing a futon is its versatility. It can serve as your couch in the daytime and as an extra bedroom at night. You won't have to worry about unexpected guests or where your parents are going to sleep when they come to visit.
3. Extra Storage Space
Here is one of the best futon bedroom ideas. Choose a futon that comes with extra storage like the one pictured above. If space is tight, then you are probably also looking for as much storage as possible. A futon designed with large, roomy slide-out drawers is a great option for making the most of the unused space underneath your bed.
4. Flexible Futon
Would you like some more futon bedroom ideas? Here's one. Get a flexible futon that can do triple duty. This versatile model can act as a single long bed, chair, or even a chaise lounge. It has an incredibly small footprint so it is a great choice for tiny spaces.
5. Get a Spring-Loaded Futon
If you thought that all futons were difficult to open, then think again. Make sure you purchase one that is spring-loaded and you will never dread having to convert your futon into a bed again. Take a look at the video to see how easy and fast it is to activate the mechanism on this futon.
6. Give Your Futon a Fresh Look
Here's one of the least expensive, but highly impactful, futon bedroom ideas. Give it a fresh look by purchasing a new futon cover. You can choose from a wide variety of bright colours or you can go with a chic pattern. It will give your futon new life and if you really like change, buy two covers and swap them out each time you do the laundry.
7. Accessorize Your Futon
Another inexpensive futon bedroom idea is to liven it up with accessories like bolsters and throw pillows, You could even purchase a beautiful blanket throw to drape over it, and it is ready to use if you want to take a mid-afternoon nap or if your room is a little chilly. If you are really ambitious, you could take up crocheting and create a one-of-a-kind afghan for your futon.
8. Spend a Little Extra for a Better Mattress
If you are going to be using your futon to sleep on every night, then spending a little extra on a quality mattress is a good idea. A basic futon mattress is okay for occasional overnight guests, but if you want a truly relaxing and good night's sleep, then it's worth it to purchase a better mattress. For the ultimate comfort, go for one made with memory foam. A memory foam mattress:
- Adjusts to all of your sleeping positions
- Will give you a more restful sleep
- Will help to relieve your pain
- Gives you the perfect level of firmness
- Is hypoallergenic
9. Retrofit Your Camper Bedroom

If you buy an older camper or if your current camper needs a makeover, then investing in a futon is a great idea for your bedroom area. You can order one to fit the exact size that you need if your camper isn't a standard futon width. The beauty of a futon is that during the day you can convert it into a sofa to give you not only more space to move around, but more indoor seating as well.
10. Futon Chair?
Our futon bedroom ideas just don't apply to traditional futons. Why not get a matching futon chair. It's the perfect choice for relaxing in front of the tv. If you want to take a really long nap, then simply stretch out and sleep away.

We are the largest futon manufacture in Canada and we even build our own line of high quality futon mattresses. You can come see our incredible lineup at our Burlington location or you can shop for all of our products online. We ship all across Canada.
"We purchased from here instead of getting something shipped from Amazon because we were hoping for better quality & better customer service, not to mention supporting local, and we were not disappointed. Everyone we spoke with was super kind & helpful, our order was ready quickly and they fully loaded it into our vehicle, and when we had a slight issue with our order they were extremely quick to resolve it. The futon looks great and the mattress is really comfy. We did go with the tahoe pine frame which is not the best quality wood, but that’s to be expected in our price range - opt for better if you can afford it. Overall, worth the extra drive to Burlington (or the shipping cost if you get delivery)
