Futon Beds, Daybeds, & Futon Sets

When you think of the word "futon," do you picture the bed in your college dorm or first apartment? Does it conjure up images of Bohemian bedroom design?

You'll be glad to know that today, futons mean so much more. You can find futon frames built for chairs, bunk beds, platform beds, and even daybeds. Of course, there are also futon sets for sofas that change into beds. Read below to see all the variations of futon frames.

Futon Chair Frames Use a futon for relaxation in a way you never thought possible. Made with wide armrests, futon chair frames span the range of styles, so if your decor is traditional, transitional, or contemporary, you are sure to find a futon chair frame for you. You can also shop for just the futon chair frame, or shop for a complete set that includes a twin-size mattress for the cushion. Platform Beds and Futon Frames Platform beds are gaining popularity for their clean, crisp, and open look. They make the perfect futon frame, too. Even though platform beds are not as adjustable as sofa/bed combinations, they offer much more in the way of permanent bedding. Plus, they make a great futon frame to put your mattress to good use.

Futon Bunk Beds
Bunk beds are perhaps the ultimate space-saver for kids bedrooms. A twin-over-futon style bunk bed offers both style and versatility. While the top bunk uses a traditional twin mattress, the bottom bunk employs a large futon frame to hold a futon mattress. This futon frame usually can be changed from a sofa to a full-size bed. Bunk beds featuring a futon frame are made in many styles and materials, including wood and steel.

Daybeds
Another convenient way to use a futon mattress is with a daybed. Daybeds are popular in interior design, and have their place in the guestroom, the den, and the home office. Using a daybed as a futon frame is smart because a futon mattress often is made to act a both a sofa and a sleeping bed. Plus, your selection of styles is quite large.

Futon Sets
Shopping for a futon set is a convenient way to get your futon frame and mattress all in one. There's no needless hunting and pecking for a futon mattress and cover.
