Futon Beds - Still Useful Or Outdated? Brad's Take
Are futon beds comfortable?
Depends on the futon mattress quality. Good thick futon mattress - comfortable. Cheap thin one - not so much. Frame matters less than mattress.
How much do futon beds cost?
Futon frames $199-699. Metal $199-399. Wood $349-699. Plus futon mattress (sold separately) $299-599.
Do futon beds come with mattresses?
No. Frame and mattress sold separately. You need a futon mattress specifically - regular mattresses don't fold.
Are futons good for everyday sleeping?
For temporary yes. Long-term most people prefer a real bed. Futons work great for guests or occasional use.
How long do futon beds last?
Frames last 10+ years. Futon mattresses need replacing every 3-5 years - they compress from constant folding.
