How to Buy a Futon

December 13, 2007 Futon Sets — gabe

If you’re like many smart shoppers, you’ve decided to buy a futon. Congratulations! Complete futons and sets are a great way to create a unique and distinct living space, and you can enjoy the comforts of both a sofa and a bed with some of today’s leading brands and styles. When you’re ready to get started, buying a futon is a simple process; you’ll begin with selecting a futon frame, choosing the right mattress, and then picking the cover. This makes it easy to find just the right, customized piece for your home; all you need to get started is the size requirement, and determine what your futon will be used for. Here’s what you need to know for each step:

Complete Futons: Selecting the Frame

Whether you’ve settled for a loveseat futon, a lounger, or a full size bi-fold, you’ll need to find a frame that suits your personal taste. Futon frames are available in a variety of modern and classic designs, so keep the overall style and theme of your room in mind when making your selection.

A basic frame such as the Monet is great as a ‘starter’ futon or for a casual space. It can be accented with a bright futon mattress and throw pillows to make a distinct focal point of the room.

Complete futons are also available in a variety of styles and colors; all of them are available in a full size, but can be upgraded to a queen if you prefer. Try a contemporary look with the Metropolitan Casual Convertible futon ; it’s combines a few retro elements with a luxurious finish for a unique look.

Complete Futons: Selecting the Futon Mattress

Selecting the right futon mattress is an important part of your decision-making process. The futon mattress you choose will largely depend on the main use of your futon. If the futon is only used for occasional seating and resting, a simple foam mattress will work out great. If you’re looking for a long-term sleeper, you’ll want to choose a mattress with more durability; an innerspring coil mattress is the perfect match for long-term use.

Complete futons are available with your choice of Standard, Premium, and Luxury mattresses. Just take your pick of the major futon mattress brands to find the right match for your needs.

Complete Futons: Picking a Futon Cover

The futon cover is the final step of your futon purchase, and this is where you can add a creative touch to your piece! Futon covers are available in a wide range of textures and fabrics, and you can match almost any of the complete futons to the theme and style of your room. Choose from contemporary block colors with the Mission Futon Frame, or a printed style with the Tray Army design. Futon covers can be changed and switched out over time, so you can easily transform the look of a room with minimal stress.
