It\u2019s important to have a sense of style and character when you decorate your place, but you should keep comfort in mind as well. There\u2019s virtually nothing better than a huge leather couch or a nice cozy loveseat, but what if your apartment really can\u2019t handle something so big? What if your wallet really can\u2019t afford that sectional that would dominate the room? It\u2019s time to think of something smaller, just as comfortable, and much more convenient: a futon.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here\u2019s why futons are basically the best thing to ever happen to renters in Toronto:<\/p>\n

They make a fantastic extra bed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Unlike bulky hide-away couches or storing cots or air mattresses, your futon is a natural part of your living room and doesn\u2019t take up much additional space when it\u2019s in the bed position. Not only that, they make a really convenient double bed in seconds that you can use yourself if you feel like taking a nap mid-day, or if you just feel like lying down to watch your favourite show. Sofa beds are similar, but you can\u2019t beat the ease of a futon. You also don\u2019t have to worry about cushions!<\/p>\n

They’re really cheap<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Since you\u2019re buying, essentially, a frame with a soft mattress on top of it, futon construction is much cheaper than a regular sofa bed or couch. If you\u2019re interested in saving your money while also being comfortable and ready to accommodate guests, getting a futon instead of a couch is easily one of the best decisions you could make.<\/p>\n

They’re super comfortable<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t let their simple appearance fool you \u2013 just because it isn\u2019t an expensive leather couch doesn\u2019t mean that a futon will be any less comfortable, especially if you get one with a great mattress. Unlike sofa beds which have those annoying bars digging into your hips and spine, futons tend to be much more evenly constructed and those problems don\u2019t exist. Add that on to the fact that you are also getting \u2013 at least \u2013 a double bed sized surface and you\u2019ll be more than ready for any nap you want to take.<\/p>\n

They’re easier to transport than couches<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you ever want to move out of your apartment, futons are the best couch to have. They way a remarkable amount less, you can take the mattress off easily and they are much more compact than their couch counterparts. Getting one of these into a moving van is a piece of cake compared to even the most average couch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
