I know you hear the word futon and you think of some crappy wood torture device kids sleep on in college. Fred's Beds does not sell these futons. We have some really nice rattan futons, wood futons, all white cottage futons. Futons with an innerspring mattress are super comfortable to sleep and sit on. You can change the color of your futon as often as you like by putting on a different cover. Most futons have optional storage drawers giving you that always sought after extra space.

I have a vacation rental apartment and I need an extra bed in the living room. What are my best options? Well first I can tell you an inflatable mattress is not an option for various reasons. The best one is your guests are paying upwards of a $1000 to stay there and don't want to sleep on a vinyl mattress that is on the floor and pop.

That being said you can get a futon or a sleeper sofa. Now Fred's Beds does not sell your college dorm room futon. We have rattan and wood futons with innerspring mattresses. The advantages of the futon are that the mattress is 8 inches thick! So when its open its like sleeping on a regular bed. Also you can change the fabric on your futon as easy as changing the cover. If you are like me and are tall you'll enjoy the high back. Also many of our futons have optional storage drawers. The cons of a futon are they are a little harder to open and close than a sleeper sofa, and it doesn't look quite as nice as a traditional sleeper sofa. Although futons are usually better priced than traditional sleepers.
