Futonrefers to wood or metal frames that support mattresses or futon pads. Futons are also available in various sizes. You can use them alternately for sitting or sleeping, turning from a couch to a bed, thanks to their versatility.
- Measure Your Space
When looking for furniture, first figure out how much space you have so you can figure out what size futon you can get away with. Then, while comparing the open measurement to your room, keep in mind that a futon will fully expand way beyond its folded-up dimension when lying flat as a bed.
- Mattress
Before buying a futon mattress, you should be aware that there are two types of futon beds: bi-fold and tri-fold. A bi-fold futon bed mattress gets folded in half, while the mattress of a tri-fold futon bed gets folded into thirds. This means that the mattress on a tri-fold futon bed isn’t as sturdy
as a bi-fold futon bed.
- Easy to Function
Any sofa futon has the advantage of being multi-functional. Still, the optimum fit for you will determine whether you want to use it as a bed or a couch. Suppose you’re going to use it as your primary bed regularly. In that case, you’ll want it to be as simple as possible to change positions.
- Rigidity
Rigidity is the capability of the futon bed mattress to hold its shape along its edge when primarily utilized as a bed or sofa. The rigidity of a futon bed mattress is more critical when the futon is mainly used as a sofa.
