Futons Direct > Reviews (2)

Available in a wide range of trendy styles the futon is definitely a state of the art fashion accessory to any household, although I would say that, I own one.

You can choose from various frame styles with wood or metal being the two main components and then also mix'n'match with further choices in the mattress range. They come with complete instructions on how to put them together, however, do not underestimate the weight of the mattress! yay how heavy is that!! nice idea to think you can whip it off to clean in the crevices and turn it over in a flash - forget it, just stick the hoover nossle in.

Although the mattress is the part that mainly fits in with your decor as the colours they are available in are endless, I find to sit on, without a doubt give it half an hour you too will suffer with 'numb bum syndrome'. Although they look good I find that to use as an every day settee it's not the most comfortable option, but liveable if you need the extra sleeping facility and have nowhere else to stick it.

It is easy to convert from seat to bed with a simple lift and slide back motion and although I've previously mentioned the numbing of your rear when in the seated position, sleeping on it is a different kettle of fish, a good nights sleep is definitely had by all!

The prices range from around £150 upwards which is not too bad, though as they are becoming more common and more stores are offering their own ranges the price will probably come down.
