Queen Size Futon

While by far the most common size of futon you will find in any store is full, it is possible to get larger or smaller sizes as well.  If you regularly entertain and need a larger sleeping or sitting surface, you may well want to consider a queen size futon, which is large enough to provide you with extra sitting room and sleeping space without taking up much more floor space than a traditional full sized futon.  Even better, if you opt for a queen size futon rather than a full, you may have a much easier time in finding suitable bedding.

Where to Find One

One of the best places to find a non-standard futon, such as a queen size futon, is to go directly to a furniture retail store or a bed and mattress specialty store.  Unlike department store retailers, these types of establishments have a wide array of inventory rather than just a small selection of furniture.  If you cannot find a queen size futon in one of these locations, or if the price is too high, you may want to consider looking into a wholesaler rather than a retail location.  The plus side to doing this is that you will definitely save money.

Styles

The beauty of purchasing a queen size futon is that you are guaranteed not only a beautiful piece of sitting furniture but a beautiful bed as well.  There are hundreds of styles of futon frames, so chances are you can find one that fits your taste and budget. Whether you are in the market for an inexpensive and easy to move around metal tube frame or a more extravagant and stationary hardwood frame, you should have no trouble finding exactly what you are looking for – even if you are not yet sure what that is.

Accessorize

After you have found the perfect queen size futon, the next thing you are going to want to do is accessorize.  When it comes to futons, that can mean one of two things.  You can either accessorize your futon as a piece of living room furniture or as the focal point in a bedroom.  Meaning, you can shop for matching tables and lamps or nightstands and dressers, depending upon where you plan on situating your futon.

One queen size futon accessory that you should purchase regardless is a futon mattress cover.  Because futon mattresses do double duty as couches and beds, keeping the mattress protected is really the only way to ensure a long life.
