Futon Sizes
1. Standard Futon Sizes: Length and Width
There are a wide variety of futon sizes
The bedding industry has standard sizes for mattresses. Standard futons sizes are the same as standard mattress sizes. These sizes may vary slightly from country to country. Here is a listing of the standard futon sizes in Canada.
Single: 39" x 74"
Single futons are the smallest size that you can get. They are a great option if you have limited space such as a college dorm room, camper, or small apartment. They also work well for:
- A child's bedroom
- A single adult's bedroom
- A guest room or office
- A daybed
- Studio or Bachelor apartment
Single futons are the same length as a double futon, but they are much narrower, so they are only appropriate for one person.
Double: 54" x 74"
Double futons are a great choice if you want a bed that is larger than a single, but smaller than a queen or king. They work well as a bed for a child, teenager or single adult. The nice thing is that you can fold up the futon when not in use to give you more floorspace during the day.
This is especially helpful if you want to use it in the following:
- A smaller bedroom
- A multipurpose room
- A guest bedroom
- A small apartment
Double futons can sleep two people if necessary, but it will be snug.
Queen: 60" x 80"
Queen futon sizes will give you more room for sleeping
Queen futon sizes are a very popular choice for couples as well as single adults who like more space to move around at night. This size of futon will give you the best of both worlds. You can enjoy extra living space during the day and lots of sleeping space to be comfortable at night.
Queen futons work well for the following:
- Medium to larger sized bedrooms
- Basements
- Larger guest rooms
- Living rooms
- Garages
A queen futon will also give you more seating space when you use it as a couch.
King: 76" x 80"
Even though King size futons are not as common, they are available. They will give you lots of seating space as well as sleeping space. They are a great option for two adults to sleep comfortably. Both people can move around as much as they want without touching each other at night. It's gives you plenty of personal space for uninterrupted sleep.
King beds work well for:
- Master bedrooms
- Larger bedrooms
- Living rooms
- Family rooms
Make sure you measure your space before you order a king size futon to be sure that it will fit where you want it to.
