10 Small Space-Friendly Cozy Futons You Can Buy Online
If you’re stuck deciding where your friends and family will sleep when they visit, adding a comfortable futon into your living arrangement is the best solution! Finally, your friends won’t blame you for their back pain and full-scale lounging can begin. What’s even better? Investing in multifunctional furniture will save you tons of money and space! The seating is a simple solution for space-challenged homes (and a lifesaver to the frequent out-of-towner). Futons have an easy-to-use mechanism allowing them to quickly convert from a sofa to a bed by lifting their frame and folding the back down—just don’t forget to add some hotel-worthy sheets!
Unlike sleeper sofas that actually include a mattress within the sofa, futon beds use their cushions as a makeshift mattress. These versatile furnishings make lounging more fun and less of a hassle. Put your futon couch to work in a spare bedroom, achieving the ultimate home office that doubles as a guest room. By day, use your futon as a comfy seat for reading and watching TV. At night, transform it into a comfy bed that sleeps one and sometimes two! Since no one wants to get shuteye on an uncomfortable, eye sore of an air mattress, we rounded up the best futons to “add to cart” now. Go ahead, be our guest!

11) Futon FAQ
We spoke to Jessica Sharpton, the founder of Edloe Finch to tell us the best tips for futon shoppers.
How do you make a futon more comfortable?
“Futons are super simple to both style and enjoy, you can simply add some throw pillows and a chunky throw to make it cozier. Our Ashbury sleeper is comfy as-is! Although, I always add in a few accent pillows and a throw for everyday styling with comfort in mind.”
Can you fit sheets over a futon?
“You can! Depending on the size your futon opens up to, you can choose bedding that will accommodate the size. Sharpton suggests using a full-sized sheet or two flat sheets. If you want a full, layered look, add the flat sheets over the fitted sheets like a normal mattress.”
What is the difference between a futon and a sleeper sofa?
“A futon is a sofa that easily transitions to a bed by simply folding the back flat. A sofa bed has a complete bed hidden inside the bottom of the sofa that you pull out. “I personally love futons because of how easy they are to transition from sofa to bed and back.”
