Choosing a Futon Chair Bed

Choosing a Futon Chair Bed

There are several things to consider when buying a futon chair bed. Here is my quick guide:

Material
Traditionally futons were made of wood. These are still some of the most popular frames around. If you are looking for a more modern look you may be interested in the metal frames. These can be very stylish and are similar in price to the wooden frames. The only frames which I would suggest avoiding are those which are upholstered. The reason for this is that one of the great things about a futon is it versatility, you can change the covers and colors to suit changes in your room, however, if you have an upholstered futon – this becomes harder.

Mattress
I would certainly get the best quality mattress you can afford. However, if you have a limited budget don’t worry. Since the mattress on a futon chair bed is completely separate to the frame you can always get a cheap mattress to start with and upgrade it when you have a little extra money. The best mattresses in my opinion are the 100% organic mattresses – but the range is huge and I am sure that you will quickly be able to find one which fits your budget and taste.

Covers
This market has gone a bit nutty; you can get just about any fabric in just about any color. There are two which I particularly like. The first are the very thick 100% cotton ones. These tend to come in very deep rich colors which I love. However, I have also recently become a bit of a convert to the faux suede ones. They are made from synthetic materials – but they are so soft! Also, since they are slightly stretchy you are pretty much guaranteed a perfect fit every time. The only covers I would be a little wary of buying are the thin cotton ones. The problem with these is that they do not hold their shape as well and they get wrinkles – which really irritates me. I think if you are going for cotton then you should definitely buy the thickest cover you can find – you want it to be a bit of a cross between canvas and traditional upholstery material.

All in, I think that getting your perfect futon is about being practical and realising that you can buy the bits separately; the frame, the mattress and the covers. Futon chair beds are fun and funky items of furniture, so just go and choose what you like – you can always change bits of it later!
