Why Choose A Futon?
A futon is a Japanese style mattress that easily folds into a couch. The futon is meant to act as a bed with a mattress in a tighter space. Since a futon can easily be rolled back up into a couch, the accessibility and space saving attributes make the futon a popular choice in home furniture.
Depending on the thickness, a futon can feature a quilted mattress or a very large pillow top instead of a standard mattress with box spring. Futons can commonly be found in day rooms, smaller apartments and dorm rooms, or basically any space that needs an extra sleep option.
Benefits of a Futon
One of the greatest benefits of a futon is how it can save you space. Since a futon can easily be folded up to create a couch, a futon would be the perfect addition to a small apartment or dorm room. The futon easily pulls out flat to resemble a bed. The size of the futon and the mattress material will vary, so it’s important to choose a futon that would work for your particular living situation.
Aside from the freeing up of space, futons can also add a modern sense of style to your living space. You can get as creative as you want with a futon – changing up the mattress cover and adding all kinds of funky throw pillows. This would be a great concept if you have your futon in a living room or common space. Futons are easily dressed up or down depending on the company. Also, a major plus, futons are much less expensive than a bed.
