Best Futons for Everyday Sleeping

1. Why Buy a Futon for Everyday Sleeping?

You might be asking yourself the question, why would you buy a futon to sleep on every day. Well, there are many instances where using a futon makes more sense than having a traditional bed.

Small Spaces:

If you are living in a smaller space like a studio or bachelor apartment, a futon is a great option. You do not have to try to fit both a sofa and a bed into your tiny quarters. You can open up your futon when it is time to go to sleep and convert it back into a sofa during the day. A futon will also make your space look nicer because you won't have a bed in the middle of your room when you entertain.

Students in a Dorm:

College and university dorm rooms are notoriously small. A futon can fit into your small room and when you are not sleeping, it can be converted into a couch. You can then use your futon to study on during the day to get a change of scenery from your desk, and it instantly gives you some space to entertain a few of your friends.

Temporary Living:

If you are staying with someone temporarily, sleeping on a futon is a great option. You won't have to invest in both a couch and a bed and if your temporary space is limited, your futon will fit while still doing double duty as a sleeping space and a seating space. In addition, your futon will be a great addition to your permanent home as extra accommodations for your guests. And who knows, you might even find sleeping on your futon to be so comfortable that you do not bother investing in a bed.

Cost Effective:

If you are on a budget, investing in a futon makes sense. It can take the place of two pieces of furniture, you won't need to spend money on both a bed and a sofa. If you are trying to furnish a complete house and you are looking for ways to cut costs, a futon is another great option, especially for your guest bedroom or basement. It is an inexpensive way to have extra beds and seating without breaking the bank.

2. What to Look for When Choosing the Best Futon for Everyday Sleeping

If you are worried about choosing a futon for everyday sleeping, don't be. As long as you choose a quality futon with a great mattress, your futon will be just as or even more comfortable than a traditional bed. Here are some key things to look for if you want the best futon for everyday sleeping.

Sturdy Frame:

If you want to sleep on your futon every day and sit on it during the day, make sure you choose one that is well built and has a sturdy frame. Wooden frame futons, and in particular, those made from hardwood are your best choice. Hardwood is incredibly sturdy and it will be able to withstand constant use. It also looks amazing.

Comfortable Mattress:

Some people are worried about their futon being comfortable enough to sleep on every day but should not be. Just make sure you purchase one that has a great mattress that will rival the best bed mattress. For example, The Futon Shop offers you mattresses in a variety of thicknesses.

You can choose plush mattresses, memory foam mattresses, firm mattresses, coil mattresses, and even a waterbed mattress. All of their mattresses are made with superior materials.

If you are not sure about the type of firmness of a mattress that would suit you the best, it is a good idea to visit a showroom and test the different types out so you are sure you are getting the most comfortable one for you.

Canadian Made:

The best futons for everyday sleeping are usually Canadian-made. This is because the majority of the cost to make a futon in Canada goes to purchasing high-quality wood and other materials. The rest of the cost goes to pay skilled craftsmen to make your futon.

On the other hand, when you purchase from manufacturers outside of Canada, a large portion of the price that you are paying goes to cover costs like:

• Packaging
• Stocking
• Shipping
• Recovering damaged products
  

In order to compensate for these higher costs and to be competitive, foreign manufacturers often need to use less expensive materials to make their products. They also tend to pay their workers less or use unskilled workers to save money.

Easy to Convert:

One concern about sleeping on your futon every day is if you are tight for space or you want to use it as a sofa as well, you will need to be continually converting it back and forth. If you choose a futon that is difficult to convert, you might get tired of this process.

That is why it is a good idea to test out how easy the futon is to adjust before you buy. Futons from the past could be quite cumbersome and require two people to open and close. However, now there are better quality futons that are a breeze to operate. Check out the following video to see how easy this futon is to use.
