Futons for Small Spaces
1. Living Rooms
Living rooms look great with futon furniture
When you think of your living room, you possibly don't consider a futon to be one of the pieces of furniture to include, however, futons have come a long way in design. If you have a smaller living room or if you like to have plenty of extra room to move around, then futons for small spaces are the perfect choice.
You can now purchase a quality futon that will not only look amazing in any stylish living room, but can also double as an extra sleeping space when you have extra overnight guests. Hardwood futons are perfect for a traditional living room. They are elegantly styled and will last for many years. If you prefer a more contemporary look, choose a metal frame with clean lines and bold colours. You can even get matching love seats and chairs to match your futon sofa and triple your sleeping space.
2. Bedrooms
Bedrooms are a great place for futons for small spaces
Futons for small spaces are a great option if your bedroom is small. If a king or queen-size bed takes up too much space in your bedroom so that you have no room to move around during the day, but you do not want to settle for a single or double bed, then why not invest in a futon.
You can have a queen or king-size futon that will give you all the room you need to sleep comfortably every night and then when you wake up, you can simply convert it to a sofa to give you all the space you need to walk around during the day.
3. Basements

A basement is a great place for a futon. Whether you put it in your family room or in an unused corner, 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 the best part 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.
4. Home Offices

Many people are working from home today. If you did not have a room designated as an office, you may have been forced to convert a spare bedroom into one. If both you and your partner are working from home, you may need more than one office.
Futons for small spaces are a great way to turn your rooms into multifunctional areas. A small armless futon tucked away into a corner or your office won't take up a lot of precious space and it will be ready to use, if you need to convert your office back into a bedroom. In addition, it is the perfect spot for a mid-afternoon nap to get your creative juices running again.
5. Multipurpose Rooms

Most of us have rooms in our homes that we use for more than one purpose. Futons for small spaces are multi-purpose pieces of furniture that will help you optimize your space. If you need more multipurpose areas in your home, why not consider purchasing a futon. It will easily fit into any unused nook and will turn any room into a multipurpose area including:
- Family rooms
- Games rooms
- Laundry rooms
- Garages
- Play rooms
If you have an unusual sized corner where you want to put a futon, you can even order a custom-made one to perfectly fit your unique space.
6. Apartments
Futons for small spaces with extra storage are a great choice for apartments
With most apartments, your key challenges are a lack of space and storage. Futons are a great way to make the most of your limited space. Not only can they be used as both a sofa and a bed, cutting down on the need for two separate pieces of furniture, but you can purchase models that come with extra storage drawers below to help solve your storage issues as well.
A one bedroom apartment can immediately have two bedrooms when the futon in your living room converts into an extra bed. Futons are also the best option for small bachelor or studio apartments.
7. Dorms

If you have a student heading off to college or university, why not give them the gift of a futon for their dorm room. Dorms are notoriously tight for space and limited in what will fit.
You usually do not have space for an extra couch, but if you replace the bed with a 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.
8. Campers
Get a custom-made futon to perfectly fit your camper
Here is one final great idea for futons for small spaces. You can use one in your camper. If you have an older trailer or camper that needs to be remodelled, then a futon is a great choice. You can get one custom-made to fit your camper 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. And a futon can be folded up during the day to give you extra space to walk around as well as additional seating space.

All of our futons are crafted right here in Canada at our Burlington Ontario location, so you can be sure that you are getting a quality product that will last. 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)
