TodaysFutons.com's - Futon Buyers Guide

Futons have become quite popular household items these days due to their versatility. They can be used either as a couch or a bed, which is perfect for places having small rooms for space. But before futons have been adopted in the west, it was the Japanese who first made use of this handy piece of furniture.

The traditional Japanese futon is quite different from the modern-type futons that are being sold today. Generally used for sleeping, it does not have a frame and the mattress is much thinner which can easily be folded and tucked away during daytime. Nowadays, futons come with a convertible frame which which can be folded to maneuver it to become a sofa or bed, whichever purpose suits the user. From being a simple sleeping mattress, futons have evolved to become indispensable furniture items in our homes and even in the office environment.

Typically, a complete set of futon consists of 3 individual components:
  • * the Futon Frame
  • * the Futon Mattress
  • * the Futon Cover

  • The Futon Frame

    The futon frame is the base or foundation of the futon. It is usually made of wood or metal, or combinations of both. The frame could also come in a variety of styles and colors. The first futon frames were made of wood. To keep the aesthetic value of a wooden futon frame it must come from clear wood, which means it does not have knots or bark. Frames made of hardwood are sturdier and heavy, but are considered of high-quality. Metal frames, on the other hand, are usually lighter and much easier to move around. They also offer a more modern look and are traditionally less expensive than wooden frames.

    The Futon Mattress

    The futon mattress is the cushion that is used for both sitting and sleeping. Like futon frames, they also are made up of different types of materials. Traditional futon mattresses are made up of cotton, which are considered to be more flexible and comfortable because of their softness. However, cotton mattresses are also more prone to sagging and needs to be aired regularly. The modern futon mattresses being sold today are made up of a variety of materials ranging from cotton, foam, wool, and polyester to ensure that they are comfortable while staying compact. Some of these futons even have springs making them more suitable bed replacements.

    Innerspring mattresses most resemble traditional bed mattresses because they are crafted with springs just like a traditional mattress. They are also a popular choice because they give the necessary support which provides good sleeping comfort. Because of the added spring feature of this type of mattresses, they are a bit heavier than most other futons and are a bit more expensive too.

    Polyester and high density foam are more durable than cotton which makes it a good choice for mattress material. It is also less absorbent and will be less likely to lose its shape after heavy use. Pure foam mattresses are great for sleeping because their material can conform to the body and provide added support. Mattresses made of foam, or a combination of foam and cotton tend to last much longer but are a little more expensive that the traditional cotton mattress.

    There are also different types of futon mattresses according to their size. Similar to bed sizes, futon mattresses can be twin sized, full sized, or queen sized. These are the most common sizes for futon mattresses:
  • * Twin/single: 39 inches x 75 inches
  • * Full/double: 54 inches x 75 inches
  • * Queen: 60 inches x 80 inches
  • * King: 78 inches x 80 inches
  • * California king: 72 inches x 84 inches

  • The Futon Cover

    The futon cover serves to protect the futon mattress and shield it from everyday wear and tear. Aside from this, it can also be changed to personalize the futon's appearance and to suit the room and coordinate with the surrounding environment. The flexibility of having options for covers add to the appeal of futons. With a multitude of different fabric types and designs to choose from, one can instantly alter the look of futons to whatever mood or occasion. Futon covers are also easy to maintain as they are removable and most can be machine washed or dry cleaned depending on the type of fabric used.

    All 3 components of a futon are independent of each other, and can be mixed and matched according to each individual's design and style preference. Indeed, futons have proven to be quite a convenience to have especially for practical reasons. However, the are some major points to consider when choosing a futon.

    The first thing is to decide whether how the futon will be used. Will it be used primarily as a sofa or as a bed and sofa? Will it be used as bed occasionally or every night? If it is used as a sofa and a bed, one should make sure it is comfortable for both purposes. If it is used as a bed nightly, special consideration should be given to the quality of the mattress. It is advised to invest on futons that are made up of different materials to add to the comfort quality and better suit one's sleeping needs.

    For the frame, primary considerations are strength, ease of use, and durability. A metal frame might be perfect for a child’s room where it can be easily moved around, while a traditional hardwood may be suitable for a living room environment which needs more stable furniture. For covers, it is important to take note of the kind of fabric used and the manner of cleaning required.

    With these things in mind, we can wisely pick the perfect type of futon suited for our needs. Always remember that a well-chosen futon, with proper care and maintenance, will surely last a long time.
