From college dorms to guest rooms, teenager bedrooms to bachelor
pads, futons are cool. Futons are a popular choice in small
spaces. Since they can be used as a couch or a bed, they are an
extremely versatile piece of furniture.
When shopping for a futon, consumers should also consider what
type of futon mattress they will want. Futon mattresses are
usually made of either cotton or foam, or a combination.
When buying a futon mattress, you will need to think about how
the futon will be used. The answer to this question will greatly
affect the type of mattress you should buy. If the futon will be
used as a bed, you will need to buy the thickest futon mattress
you can afford. You can save money by buying a thinner mattress,
but at the cost of your comfort.
Will the futon be used as both a couch and as a bed? If so, the
mattress will have to endure a lot of folding. In this case, you
will need a futon mattress that is very flexible. An innerspring
mattress or a cotton-polyester blend is probably a good choice.
Mattresses containing foam are also good possibilities as foam
is good at conforming to new shapes. Foam mattresses also give
added support.
Futon mattresses are available from such well-known
manufacturers as Simmons, Beautyrest, and Sealy. They can range
in price from way under $100 to several hundred dollars,
depending on size, brand name, construction, and materials.
Futons Store offers futon mattresses with free shipping;
Overstock often sells futon mattresses at deep discounts over
retail; Department stores such as Target, WalMart, and JC Penney
sell futon mattresses.
It is also a good idea to buy a futon mattress cover for your
futon. This will protect it from staining and the need for
frequent washing. This, in turn, extends the longevity of your
futon mattress. In addition, the cover adds a touch of color and
style to your futon.
