Why To Consider Buying A Futon
Are you redecorating soon and looking for different ideas?
Futons offer a different look and feel and give you multiple directions you may not have considered a few years ago. Following are some ideas to consider as you look at the bigger picture.
Flexible For Decorating…You Can Change The Covers
There are many, many futon covers available, whether you just need an extra one for while the usual one is in the wash, or you want to redecorate the room and change the whole look. Futon covers are inexpensive, and come in such a large variety of colors and patterns that you may find yourself collecting them for all sorts of different occasions. If you ever want to change a room’s style,changing the futon cover is the quickest, easiest way to make it look totally new and different. In addition, a variety of accent pillows can expand your decorating options with an endless supply of variations.
Instant Guest Room
A futon converts quickly and easily into a bed, making it convenient to have spontaneous guests stay over. If your home doesn’t have a separate guest room, a futon is a great alternative. Even a queen size futon takes up less space than a traditional sofa-bed and doesn’t have an uncomfortable center support-bar poking guests in the back the way sofa-beds do.
Futons Are Comfortable
A futon mattress is all one piece, so you’re never sitting in the crack between cushions, or having a seam pressing somewhere uncomfortable. Futon mattresses come in different thicknesses and firmnesses, so you can get one that’s comfortable for you and add it to whichever frame you’ve selected.
Futons Move Easily
Futons weigh less than couches and much less than sofabeds. If you move frequently, or even if you just rearrange furniture, having a futon means less straining and lifting for you. Futon frames can also be easily disassembled making moving even easier. A traditional sofa needs at least 2 people to move it and a truck large enough to hold it. A futon can be disassembled and transported by a single person in a regular car.
Consider The Cost
For a substantially lower price futon frames can seat one, two or three people. In situations where you need a place people to sit and do not want to spend hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars for a sofa, futons offer a reasonable choice. Depending on the sizes you consider, a futon can be only a couple hundred dollars, freeing up money to invest in other areas of your decorating budget.
As you consider remodeling or redecorating, remember, a futon is an excellent option for stretching your budget. A futon’s flexibility as a piece of furniture and a decorating centerpiece will give you more options than many other choices and allow you to redirect your decorating dollars to other important areas of your home.
