How to Buy A Futon in Three Simple Steps
If you formulate a clear plan before you start shopping, purchasing a futon is a painless process. Look at the available options within your budget that fit your size and function requirements. When several futons satisfy your requirements, simply sit or lay on the options and choose the most comfortable, or choose the one that is most visually appealing. Do that, and you can have your new futon after a single shopping trip.

1
Decide whether you're going to use the futon primarily as a bed, or primarily as a couch. Some models are very comfortable as couches and less so when folded out into a bed and vice versa. Try the futon in the position that you plan on using it most often to select the most comfortable option.

Set a budget for yourself. Futons range from around two hundred dollars to as much as a thousand for the high-end models. Choose a budget and stick to it to avoid having to sort through dozens of options that are out of your price range.

Determine what size futon you want. Like beds, futons come in several sizes. Full size and queen size are the most common, but other options, depending on the type of frame you select, also exist. Make sure you have enough space for the futon of the size you want when it is laid out as a bed.

Tips & Warnings
Always try out a futon before you purchase it. Appearances and manufacturer's claims can be deceiving. Be assured of a comfortable piece of furniture before you pay for it and take it home.
