Futons can be a beautiful living room sofa that doubles as a guest bed or a bed that can become a sofa in small spaces. Futons come in two distinct frame styles: bi-fold and tri-fold. Bi-folds are the most common, but each has its own benefits.
A bi-fold futon generally has arms and legs along with a cushion with one fold. They fold out into a bed with a sliding mechanism, and most have a wall-hugger feature that saves space. This alleviates the need to move the entire futon when converting it to a bed. Tri-fold designs fold three times, and many sit directly on the floor.
Most futons have exposed frames. Metal frames are inexpensive with an industrial look while wood frames are constructed from high quality timber and cost more. Varieties such as maple or cherry add an elegant touch that blends in nicely with other furniture.
Mattresses can be made of foam or polyester that maintains its structure over time. Inner spring designs are available, but they are more expensive. The inner spring models will feel the most like a regular bed mattress. Mattresses are often protected by a soft cover that can be removed for washing.
