Futons : Have You Tried Them Yet?
Futons have become extremely popular lately, as people have begun to understand and appreciate their style and versatility. Some people are still unsure about what exactly there are though…
Futons are a traditional form of Japanese bedding that consist of comfortable padded mattresses and quilts which can be easily folded and stored when not in use. They can still be found in most Japanese homes today, as no-one has yet designed a piece of furniture that is better for limited space areas.
As they have become increasingly popular in the West, they have taken different forms. Outside of Japan, futons are generally taken off the floor and set on top of some type of adjustable frame. This allows them to be used in different combinations to function as beds, sofas or chairs.
Futons offer over many advantages over other types of furniture. With their ability to function in different roles, they can eliminate the need to buy as many pieces of furniture as otherwise would be needed.
Their clean cut form, and stylish nature, means that they look the part in most rooms, though you will typically find them in living rooms and bedrooms. They are an ideal addition to spare / guests rooms too, as they can be simply unfolded into a ready made bed when visitors stay over.
Changing their form or moving them from one room to another is easy enough because they can easily be taken apart. This flexibility also makes them hassle free to clean, as a standard washing machine is big enough for the broken down parts to fit within.
In terms of style, all types of colored and patterned futons are available. Even better, the covers on most of them can simply be changed over should you feel like changing the look of them every now and again.
They are filled / padded with a range of materials, so buyers can get a soft and bouncy one, a hard and firm one, or something in between. Whatever the use in mind, or preference of the buyer, there will be a futon that fits the requirements.
Cotton with wool and / or polyester added is an option, as is a foam filled futon. Being both lightweight and dense, foam offers a comfortable, firm and durable futon – these are probably the most popular ones.
For those consumers who still want the feel of more traditional mattresses, manufactures now offer futons with innersprings. With built in hinges, they can be folded to offer much of the flexibility of a regular futon.
With all of these benefits in mind, it is not hard to understand why futons are one of the most sought after pieces of furniture right now, especially when the fact that they cost less than comparable pieces of furniture is factored in too.
