Build a Complete Futon
A futon is more than a mattress. A complete convertible futon combines a wood frame, flexible mattress, and fitted cover to create a piece of furniture that can function as both seating and a bed.
This makes futons particularly useful in guest rooms, home offices, apartments, cabins, and multipurpose living spaces where a permanent conventional bed may not be practical.
Our futon collection brings these components together so you can choose the mattress, wood frame, and cover that suit how you plan to use your space.
Futon Mattresses, Wood Frames and Covers
The futon mattress determines much of the comfort of the finished futon. Because it needs to function in both sitting and sleeping positions, its construction must balance cushioning, support, and flexibility.
The wood futon frame provides the foundation and allows the futon to convert between seating and sleeping configurations. Wood gives the futon the appearance and durability of a substantial piece of furniture while maintaining the flexibility of a convertible sofa bed.
The futon cover surrounds the mattress and has a major influence on the finished appearance. A replaceable cover also makes it easier to update the look of an existing futon without replacing the mattress or frame.
Futons and Shikibutons
Our collection also includes Shikibutons for those looking for a simpler, lower-profile sleep system. Unlike a North American convertible futon, a Shikibuton is primarily a sleeping surface and does not require a sofa-style frame.
Both approaches offer flexibility, but they serve different purposes. A convertible futon provides seating and sleeping in one piece of furniture, while a Shikibuton focuses on creating a compact and adaptable place to sleep.
