A Futon Bed Sofa Is A Great Investment For The Family Home

A Futon Bed Sofa Is A Great Investment For The Family Home was written by Andy Maingam and he writes "I never knew what a futon was until a friend of mine set me straight. A futon is what I have always called a sofa bed, only they are better quality and these days and really do look like decent settees when not being used as beds. So simply put, a futon is a couch which turns into a bed when unfolded. There are lots of types of futons around, often referred to as futon beds, and they can be great practical furniture items for many a home.

The western futon is loosely based on the Japanese original futon mattress, which unlike the futon bed, does not double up as sofa and is stored away when not being used. When you consider the tiny spaces that many Japanese folks live in, you might be surprised to learn that they don't use the space saving futon-sofa concept, but then the layout out and living styles of the Japanese are quite different to the western lounge, and therefore the futon-bed is rarely considered..

If you use the futon bed sofa occasionally as a bed and just as a backup for when friends or family members stay over, then you may not give too much thought about the quality of the mattress. If it's used as a bed settee more often than not, then most people these days prefer to choose the all natural 100% cotton Futon mattresses, as these are supposed to be much healthier and environmentally friendly than synthetic and spring based mattress types.

Students, singles, and folks living in smaller dwellings find the futon bed a great space saver, but many families consider them to be a great investment for the family home too and especially those with young or teenage children, as an extra bed always comes in handy for those sleepovers.

If you are considering a futon bed sofa you might also want to purchase a futon cover at the same time, as this will protect your mattress keeping it looking new for years to come. When shopping for a futon slipcover, make sure you pick the right fabric. There is a wide selection of futon slip covers on the market and you'll surely find one that suits the theme of your room be it in a classic, contemporary, eastern, western, or modern style.

So, when shopping for a futon you need to be armed with 3 core questions.

1. The frame. Do you want wood or metal? also consider the size and design.

2. The Mattress. The filling, comfort and use. If your futon mattress is likely to get folded a lot, it is important to purchase one that is very flexible.

3. The cover. Style, softness, designs. (Remember, you're never stuck with one cover)

You don't need to be an expert on the engineering of the futon bed sofa, nor do you need to understand about the best mattress or covers. So long as you keep these 3 points in mind when you go shopping for a bed sofa, the store experts will be able to assist you in finding a modern sofa bed that specifically suites your needs.
