Futon Beds

Futon is the Japanese word for their traditional bed or mattress. It is a thin mattress that is filled with batting for a comfortable sleep. As the Japanese have very tiny homes, they are always looking for ways to save space. They have a different way of looking at their homes. In the Western world, we have rooms for different activities like bedroom for sleeping and dining room for eating and kitchen for cooking. In Japan they have one space that is altered during the day for their varied activities.

Japanese futons are thin because each day they are folded up and stored away so that now the space can be used for eating or working. At night they are rolled back out and placed upon a tatami or woven straw mat on the floor they dont actually use a bed frame. We have borrowed the concept of multiple uses except we have found multiple uses for the futon beds, not the space. When we purchase a futon, it comes with a foldable frame. We fold the frame out and use it to support the futon as a bed at night. During the day we can fold the frame up and drape the futon over it and use it as a chair or couch so for us it is a very versatile bed. As it is reasonably priced, it is very popular for teenagers or college students. The futon beds were also taken to the next level and added as the lower bunk on a bunk bed. The top bunk remains constantly in place while the bottom single futon bunk folds into a chair under one half of the top bunk leaving room for a small built-in computer desk on the other side -- an excellent contemporary use of space. Some people use the term futon bed interchangeably with sofa bed as many of the newer sofa beds just fold out and resemble a futon bed. Either way futon beds are small and simple making them one of the most reasonable priced beds or couches in the market today. It will give your teenager the sense of being cool if he or she has a couch in their bedroom. Then it is their responsibility to make up the bed for sleeping and the chore is off your shoulders. Not only are futon beds sensibly priced but you will find that we will have them more sensibly priced than any one else.
