How to Choose a Futon Mattress
Once you decide to put a futon in your space, you need to choose the right one for you. Follow these tips for the best futon buying experience.

You need to determine how often you will be using the futon as a bed. Do you have a relative that crashes at your place regularly? You want to choose a durable design with a darker color choice. If you get visitors only once or twice a year, then you can get away with light colors and designs not necessarily built to last. You might want to avoid light colors if you don’t want stains from spills on it.
2. Vibe
Every futon sets a tone for a room. You want to choose the futon that fits your personality and the mood you envision in the room or space, and color choices for the walls or drapes.
3. Thickness
Before you purchase a futon, you should decide how thick you want the mattress. This will relate to comfort level for the guests or yourself if you are using it.
4. Covers
Some people want to put a mattress cover on their futon. If you do, make sure the cover matches the decor.
5. Frame
Like beds, the frame will determine the size of the mattress. Pick the futon mattress that will fit the frame but will not be hanging over it. At the same time, you don’t want a futon mattress that is too short or thin either. You want it to fit correctly. Featured photo credit: Pinterest via pinterest.com
