futon turning now to another matter10/24/2005 A good futon can be the most important piece of furniture for a wide range of people, especially students or those living in small apartments. In fact, the humble futon is perhaps the patron saint of the studio apartment, as it lets you seamlessly combine the bed and the couch. The futon’s shabby cousins, the foldaway bed, the Murphy bed, and the hide-a-bed couch all took a stab at blending the bedroom and the living room, but none of them have the ease or the elegance of the futon. I'm glad you found my site and I hope this information is exactly what you are looking for. The New York studio apartment is a unique beast. It’s much smaller and much more expensive than any of it’s studio cousins in LA or Chicago, generally forcing it’s sometimes grumpy, usually cramped occupant to spend his or her waking, home-bound hours stuck in one room. A good futon finally makes this existence a little more livable. The studio dweller can spend the day on a comfortable couch, lounging about, maybe reading a book, and then when it’s time for bed easily slide down the back of the futon and turn it into a comfortable bed. All it takes is a blanket thrown over the top of it and it’s ready to go at the same time. A futon mattress can really make or break your futon, especially if you plan on sleeping on the thing every night. Wherever you buy your futon, be sure to try it out for awhile with the futon in the down “bed” position to make sure there aren’t any uncomfortable ridges or lumps. Though most often an uncomfortable futon is uncomfortable due to a poor mattress, sometimes the frame is to blame, especially if the bed tilts one way or the other or is particularly high or low in the middle. Any of these problems can cause a lot of long nights based on what happened. When you finally settle on a futon, bring it home and dress it up. Many queen mattress covers fit futons well, so you can keep some sheets on the futon even when it’s in the up position. A few throw pillows will spruce things up nicely and will keep your futon from looking like it belongs in a college dorm (even if you are, in fact, in a college dorm). Whether you’re using your futon for your own bed every night, as a guest bed, or as the occasional place for your drunken roommate to crash, it’ll be more comfortable than the hide-a-bed and prettier than the ugly army cot your dad still hangs onto which, if i must say so myself. This information was a culmination from many different places and resources. You should never just believe one resource and you should study a subject from a few different perspectives. |
