Your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/outlet\/living-room-outlet\/p\/20036239003?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=futons&amp;utm_content=futonhyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"futon (opens in a new tab)\">futon<\/a> can serve as a couch or sofa during the day for extra seating, a recliner at night while you catch up on a good book and then a bed for a little shut-eye. The best part about the futon is that it\u2019s easy to change from one position to another, and it only takes a few seconds. How you use your futon is only limited by your imagination. I\u2019m going to give you a few suggestions below on how to use a futon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Questions to Ask Yourself Before Buying a Futon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So now that I got you all excited about futons, let\u2019s look at a few questions to ask yourself before you purchase a futon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do I have Enough Space for my Futon?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because futons have the ability to change positions, this will require extra clearance compared to a regular sofa. You need to leave room for the futon to open up to a full bed. If you\u2019re going to put your futon against a wall, make sure you have room around the sides and in front to slide it out so you can open it up. Heck, what fun is it to have a futon if you can\u2019t use the different positions?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the Main Uses of my Futon?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;If you plan on using the bed a lot, make sure you find a futon that\u2019s comfortable to sleep on. I suggest finding a futon with super comfy <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/mattresses-bedding\/mattresses\/bob-o-pedic\/c\/bob-o-pedic?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=futons&amp;utm_content=bobopedicmemoryfoamhyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam (opens in a new tab)\">Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam<\/a>! Do you plan on using your futon mainly as a sofa? Then you can arrange it up against a wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will Children use the Futon?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have children, you\u2019ll want to find a futon that is durable and also has a fabric that is easy to clean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the different Futon positions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Futon positions may vary by brand and style, but all of my futons have three positions: sofa, recliner and bed. I love the ability to instantly change the position of my futon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sofa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/outlet\/living-room-outlet\/p\/20036239001?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=futons&amp;utm_content=sofafutonphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"944\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FutonBlog1.jpg\" alt=\"Keep your futon in the upright sofa position to provide more seating for your home | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-1009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FutonBlog1.jpg 944w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FutonBlog1-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FutonBlog1-768x456.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 944px) 100vw, 944px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><br>Keep your futon in the upright sofa position to provide more seating for your home<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Need extra some extra seating space?

No problem. My futon easily and quickly converts to a bed for a comfy night\u2019s sleep! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Best Rooms for a Futon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because futons are such a fun and functional piece of furniture, they can work well in almost every room in your house. Here are a few suggestions of great rooms for a futon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dorm Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s that time of year again when students are heading back to college. A futon is ideal for dorm rooms because it serves many functions and is college student budget-friendly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Family Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/furniture\/living-room?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=futons&amp;utm_content=familyroomhyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"family room (opens in a new tab)\">family room<\/a> is the definition of a multipurpose space. It\u2019s where you watch TV, play games, catch up with family and friends and nap. The versatility of the futon makes it a great fit for the family room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vacation Home<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You always need to be prepared for that extra guest who shows up at your vacation home. While you may not have a spare <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/furniture\/bedroom?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=futons&amp;utm_content=bedroomhyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"bedroom (opens in a new tab)\">bedroom<\/a>, a futon gives the option to have extra sleeping space at night when needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Playroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children are constantly in discovery mode, whether that\u2019s through playing or reading. A futon gives you and your child a nice comfy spot to read a book. Then once those yawns start to appear, you have an instant nap space. And what parent doesn\u2019t love naptime! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Man Cave<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yogi Berra\u2019s famous quote, \u201cIt ain\u2019t over till it\u2019s over,\u201d perfectly applies to the man cave. When the big game is on, it\u2019s not over till the final buzzer or the winning run has scored\u2014even if it\u2019s a school night. So there may be some late nights when friends gather to watch the big game and having that extra sleeping space for people to crash comes in handy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Extra Bedroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A futon works well in an extra bedroom because it provides extra seating space when you don\u2019t have guests and provides you a space to get away and catch up on your favorite shows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Share your futon pictures!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d love to see how you use your futon. Snap a pic and share it on social by tagging me @mybobs for a chance to be featured in my feed.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love futons because they\u2019re such a versatile piece of furniture.
