Futon Finder... Futon Furniture is comprised of three main components – futon foldable mattress, convertible frame and upholstery (usually removable).  Futons are constructed from layers of cotton and foam wrapped in an outer shell of poly-cotton material.  They are sized to standard North American bed dimensions and conform to the shape of the frame on which they sit. They fold along their length to become a 3-seat sofa and lie flat to provide a comfortable bed.

They also fold along their width to provide a chair or “loveseat” and again lie flat for a bed.  Frames are manufactured of metal and/or wood and are sourced through manufacturers and distributors locally (Ontario), nationally and from the USA.

The frame tends to dictate the selling price more than any other component in that they range in price from under $100.00 to over $800.00 while the futon ranges from $119.00 to 459.00.  Upholstery is typically removable and replaceable to provide endless design options, easy clean-up and fresh look.  Cover range in price from under $50.00 for a simple poly/cotton fabric to $400.00 for genuine leather.  Packages (frame and futon) range in price from under $200.00 to over $1200.00 providing consumers with the widest range of price available anywhere futons are sold.

Why buy from a Futon Store

While futons are also now available in almost all retail furniture outlets, their futons are over priced for the products being offered.  The quality of the futon is low – they will last only a short time given regular use.  The frame selection is limited to cheap Chinese imports.  Local traditional furniture retailers have added 1 or 2 futons to their product mix to capture some market share.  National, “Big Box” furniture retailers typically carry only a few mid-range products.  Most furniture store sales staff view futons as an afterthought and do not focus on futons when presenting customer with options.  At 2001 Futon, futons are our only business and business is good.
