** Choose the style of your futon sofa bed frame **
You want to choose a futon frame that matches the decor and style of your room. The standard frame types are wooden frames, metal frames and material or upholstered frames. You might decide to choose a futon sofa that does not have any side frame, only a frame in back.

** Choose a sturdy frame for your futon bed sofa **
Not only do you want to look at style, but you have to also look at how strong the frame is. This is especially true if you plan on using the futon bed with children, or if you plan on using it frequently. If the futon bed will just be in a side room not used often then it is less important.

** Choose a good futon sofa bed mattress **
Some futon mattresses are very thin and cheaply made. Only choose these if you are not planning on using the bed often.
Choices include spring futon mattresses, foam futon mattresses and even memory foam futon mattresses. You can also choose the fibers your futon mattress is made from. Remember you will be using the futon both to sit on and sleep on, so find a mattress that is comfortable for both.
If you will be sleeping on the futon mattress often, you should choose a high quality firm futon mattress, just as you would any bed.

** Choose a futon mattress cover **
You will want to choose a futon mattress cover that is stylish according to your liking. You should also look into how stain resistant the cover is. Also consider how easy the mattress cover is to wash. Most types of common fabrics are available such as polyester, velvet, cotton, etc.
You should remember that the cover is usually replaceable, so you can change it if you want to at a later time. -

** Choose the size of your futon sofa **
Do you want a twin size futon sofa bed? Do you want a queen size futon sofa bed? Measure the space you have set aside for the futon and buy a futon that fits the space. Remember that the frame might take up extra room so even if you are buying a twin mattress, the futon frame will be larger than the twin mattress size.
Also take into account how big the bed is when you open it up. Make sure to measure your floor space to make sure there is enough room for the futon when it is in the futon bed position.

* Does the futon have storage space? How much?
* Does the futon also go into a reclining position or just sitting and sleeping?
* How does the futon turn from a bed to a sofa? How difficult is it to change? -
