What is a Futon?
With roots in Japan, a futon traditionally refers to a frameless mattress placed directly on the floor for sleeping. This type of futon is simple and foldable, so it can be stored away when not in use.
Nowadays in the West, however, a futon refers to a framed sofa that can be transformed into a bed. This modern futon bed and couch hybrid is popular in the US due to its convenience, since it doubles as everyday seating and a sleeping space, saving space without compromising on style.

How to Pick the Best Futon Couch?
With so many options to choose from, you should balance function, comfort, and style to get the right futon couch for your space and lifestyle. Consider the following factors to make the best choice:
Size
COMHOMA futons come in various sizes to fit everything from cozy apartments to spacious living rooms. For instance, our popular B001 (68.5” x 41” when unfolded) and single-seater HS101 (69.09” x 35.43” when unfolded) are wide enough for one guest to sleep comfortably, while our B008 loveseat (70.5” x 54.8” when unfolded) can fit up to two people.
Make sure to measure both the area for the futon in its sofa form and the clearance needed when it's fully converted into a bed to make sure it fits in your room, while providing enough seats for daily use.
Material
The material not only affects how your futon couch looks, but also how it feels. For the outer cover, you can choose between basic fabric, soft cotton, textural corduroy, fluffy teddy bear fleece, or sleek PU leather, all of which are durable and easy to maintain.
For the mattress filling, we mainly offer foam, which offers excellent support and retains its shape for daily use. Some models also come with memory foam that conforms to your body for personalized comfort, providing improved support for sitting and sleeping.
In terms of the frame and leg materials, we provide metal and wooden options. You can go for metal frames to get a modern, sleek look, while the wood frames are great for a warm, traditional feel.
Aesthetics
Consider how the futon’s design fits with your existing furniture and room vibe, so that it complements your décor. COMHOMA offers a variety of colors and styles, from neutral tones for minimalist spaces to bold hues that make a statement.
Extra Features
Some of our futons, like the HS101, come with built-in cup holders and magazine pockets, adding convenience for movie nights or relaxing weekends. We also offer models that come with storage space underneath, letting you keep things like extra blankets for easy access.
Assembly
We offer two convenient assembly options. Our DIY models are straightforward to put together, perfect for those who enjoy a simple project. For those who want instant comfort without any effort, our assembly-free models, such as the B002, arrive ready to use right out of the box.

You shouldn’t sacrifice quality for price. Decide on your must-have features first, then choose a model that meets both your needs and budget. Fortunately, COMHOMA specializes in futons that balance affordability with long-lasting value.

Futon Sofa Bed FAQs
What is the difference between futon couches, sofa beds, and daybeds?
While all three combine seating and sleeping functions, they differ in design. Futon couches typically feature a foldable frame with a cushioned mattress, offering an easy-to-use, affordable, and space-saving solution for compact or multifunctional spaces, like apartments and dorm rooms, where flexibility and value are key.
Sofa beds (also known as sleeper sofas), on the other hand, look like traditional sofas but include a hidden pull-out mattress inside the frame. They usually come with thicker mattresses, but they take up more space and cost more, so they’re more suited for bigger rooms or dedicated guest rooms where they primarily function as a main sofa.
Daybeds, in contrast, have a fixed design, consisting of a bed frame with low sides and a mattress, so they don’t convert like futons or sofa beds. They’re great in a home office, sunroom, or child's room for lounging or occasional rests, but may not be ideal for frequent sleeping, as the mattresses are generally thinner.
Is it okay to sleep on a futon every day? Are they comfortable?
Yes, it’s generally fine to sleep on a futon every day. Still, the comfort and long-term usability depend on your personal preference, as well as the mattress quality, so it’s important to choose the right material. High-density or memory foam cushions provide the proper support for nightly rest, while sturdy frames keep the structure stable to prevent sagging. Cover materials such as fabric, PU leather, or corduroy also add softness, making the futon couch as relaxing as traditional beds.
How do I clean my futon couch bed?
The way you clean your futon depends on the material:
• PU Leather: Simply wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately to avoid water stains.
• Fabric, Teddy Fleece, or Corduroy (Removable): Soak and hand-wash gently. Avoid machine washing as the water temperature and high spin cycle may cause the fabric to shrink or wear down.
• Fabric, Teddy Fleece, or Corduroy (Non-Removable): Spot clean any spills or stains with a damp cloth. You can also remove dirt, dust, and pet hair using a vacuum with an upholstery attachment.
With regular care, you can maintain the look and comfort of your futon, keeping it fresh and inviting for everyday use.
Do I have to assemble the futon couches on my own?
Not necessarily, COMHOMA also offers assembly-free models, such as B002, for extra convenience. Nevertheless, most of our futon couches are designed for easy DIY assembly that typically takes less than 30 minutes. All hardware and an Allen wrench are included, so no special tools or skills are required. Even first-time assemblers will find the process simple by following our step-by-step instructions.

Your COMHOMA futon couch is shipped using trusted carriers like FedEx or UPS. Most orders arrive within 2-5 business days, but may take longer during the holidays. Also, you’ll receive tracking information so you can follow your delivery every step of the way.
