Tips For Buying Futons For Everyday Use
Weather it’s a sun room, living room, den, or bed room, futons are flexible enough to go anywhere you need them to. They are perfect for smaller rooms where you need to optimize your space; especially a child’s room where they need plenty of play room. You are sure to find many uses for one of these.
With solid wood or metal frames you can find these to fit any decor. The metal frames seem to be the most flexible and have multiple setting for each side. The arms lower as well so you can have these in any position that suits your individual needs.
The wooden frames are heavier and less flexible but I find I still like them better. To me they seem sturdier plus I just like the look of the wooden finish. These go better in my more traditional home; the metal frames seem to be more suited to someone with a more contemporary style. Of course the wooden frames have some metal also; at least mine does but it’s hardly noticeable.
I find that my futons are great for over night guests. They fold out quickly and fold back up just as easily. I have had regular sofa beds and they were much more complex to work than these are. Plus I think they are more comfortable; the mattresses seem to be thicker than on a sofa bed. If you need to move the futon you can move the mattress and frame separately and that helps a lot.
In addition you can buy covers in various styles. This one allows you to change the look of your futons if you like or if you redecorate. Some of the covers are multi-colored which I like because they hide stains better. You also have the added benefit of taking the cover off to wash. These are usually sold separately. You can use your own pillows or buy some to match your cover.
With the futon chairs available to match you can have a whole living room set of futons. The same covers are available for these. I even found a store that sells futon bunk beds. These have a normal bed on top and a futon on bottom. This is perfect for a child that has an occasional over night guest.
Futons are just very practical to have in your home. With all of the uses you can find for them you won’t have to worry about what you will do with it. Buy yours today.
