Futon Dimensions for Any Room or Budget

If you are looking for a way to make a room versatile, a futon may be the answer. Perhaps you have moved into a small studio, and you need your bed to serve as a couch during the day. You may be starting your first semester in college, and you want to make the most of your dorm room. You might want to have a place for guests to stay when they visit while your spouse wants an office to work from home. Whatever your needs may be, understanding futon dimensions can help determine the futon you need to fit your room and budget.

Think in terms of mattress size

Wicker Futon Frame

In its simplistic form, a futon is a mattress on an adjustable frame. Like a standard mattress, futon mattresses come in sizes such as twin, queen, and full. A full and queen size can sleep up to two people, while a twin can sleep one. There are also cot-sized mattresses that come as a futon chair with an ottoman, or lounge chair, that is small but will sleep one person.

Thinking in these terms will help you to understand the type of futon you may need. Hosting couples will require a full or queen mattress, while having a place for a friend to crash when they need to may only need a single. If you have the room, you may want to purchase a few different futons to allow for flexible options as the need arises.

Different terms for futons

A futon may be listed in different ways, depending on the manufacturer or retailer's preference. You may hear futons described as a three-seat, love seat, lounge, click-clack bed, dorm futon, or bunk bed futon. It is best to read the description thoroughly to better understand the type of futon they are selling and if it will fit your needs.

The description of the futon will typically supply the dimensions of the futon mattress. If the dimensions are 60"x80", then this is a queen mattress and most likely a three-seat futon. You may see the dimensions listed as 60"x84". These dimensions include the armrests, which serve as the head and footboards of the futon when it is open as a bed. In this description, the armrests are each 2" wide, so you know the total amount of space you will need for the futon.

A full sofa has futon dimensions of 54"x75". They may be listed as a full sofa, lounger, or click clack bed. The benefit of a click clack bed is that it will have an innerspring mattress, and the armrests are removable if needed. A lounger futon provides the purchaser with different options for the furniture. It can be used like a couch, with the bottom part of the futon curled underneath, as a lounger, with the top portion upright and the bottom part extended, or as a bed.

Lounge futons are often sold without armrests, and some people like to create their own sectional by placing a lounger and a love seat or three seat futon together. This will also help create the ability to sleep extra guests if necessary. A love seat futon is shorter than a full, by 21 inches, but is still 75" wide.

Lounge futons may be the size of a single bed. Futon dimensions for a single lounger are 25" x 75". Chair futons are not long enough for an adult to sleep on, unless it comes with an ottoman.

Futon dimensions help people understand the amount of space they need in the designated room, and how many people they can sleep on the furniture. By coordinating needs and style, a family room can sleep up to five guests comfortably with three separate types of futons, yet appear as standard couches and chairs. When looking for a way to creating a guest room, you may want to consider a futon.

There is nothing that compliments a home and makes it more beautiful than attractive furniture. It can complete coordination of a room as well as being an attractive centerpiece. Cane furniture is an excellent choice for this purpose.

Cane is the skin of a very tough vine, which grows in Indonesia. This skin is peeled from the vine and cut into various widths depending on what type of article it is to be used.

Wicker Futon Frame

The Cane strips are very strong and durable and come in many different textures and colors. When woven into seats and backs of the furniture they present a very sturdy and long lasting seating arrangement. When the furniture is finished, it can either be painted or left in its natural beauty. If painted one usually sees it with a brown or white finish.

The rattan is used for the frame of the furniture. Its extreme strength and hard finish makes it almost impervious to the type of damage endured by other types of furniture. If left in its natural state, and polished, it is outstanding in its beauty and an asset to any household.

Inviting one to enjoy resting, they present the perfect place for inviting friends over for a casual evening or relaxing and enjoying a family event. They fit in perfectly with anyone who wishes to carry out their decor on the theme of the tropics or south seas.

Having a room with this beautiful furniture, potted palm or other tropical plants and a woven rug presents a picture of which any homeowner would be proud. Any visitor, entering the room, would immediately be overcome by its perfect arrangement.

From the artists who design the furniture, to the workers who put it together there is a great deal of skill involved. Each piece must fit perfectly to reach perfection in the final product.

Ways to Save Time and Money When Buying Futons

Why buy direct?

Wicker Futon Frame

Buying factory direct is a way for people to save money. A retailer is an intermediary between the manufacturer and the consumer. They buy the product from the manufacturer and then raise the price before selling it to the consumer. Although retailers need to make money for selling items, the difference between what they buy the item for and what they sell it can be two or three times its original cost.

Wicker Futon Frame

This can put consumers at a disadvantage. If they want to buy an item from a retail store, they need to pay these higher prices. If they have the option of buying directly from the factory, however, this will take the retailer out of the picture, and help consumers save money.

Not all manufacturers are willing to sell their products directly to consumers. These companies don't want the extra work that is involved with selling to the public. Often, this can mean having a showroom and additional staff. This can also mean store locations, further increasing the company's overhead. With the extra cost, these businesses feel they are making less profit than they would if they sell only to stores.

More selection

E-commerce sites eliminated this objection for many businesses. Online stores are easy to set up and maintain, without the need for a showroom or additional staff. This allows companies to sell futons directly to consumers online.

Purchasing futons directly from the manufacturer provides benefits other than saving money. Retailers don't always carry a complete line of products. The stores need to be able to show a profit, so they will only carry items they know they can sell. This may mean that several styles, colors, or collections may be available from a manufacturer that a buyer may never see.

Factory direct sellers will display all the items that they make. This may mean that the ideal futon which goes perfect with the living room rug did exist; it is just that it could only be found online at the manufacturer's website. In addition, an item that may be discontinued at a particular retailer may still be available.

Accessories and repair kits

Even though people may take good care of their futons, things do happen. A damaged item may not need to be replaced. Replacement parts may not be available at a local store, but they may be available at the manufacturer.

Futons from the manufacturer often carry repair kits and replacement parts for their products. Retail stores buy them for inventory that is damaged in transit or when it is in the showroom. Some retailers offer repair programs for their customers, at a price. If the repair is simple, a customer can buy a repair kit from the manufacturer and save a great deal of money.

Manufacturers often offer accessories for their products that can't be found in retail outlets. Pillows, covers, sheets, and mattress covers may be excess inventory that a store feels won't sell well. Buying futons from them can mean finding a complete line of accessories designed to coordinate with, and fit the futon.

If someone is lucky enough to live near a company that sells futons, they may be able to visit the location and see the quality of the product first hand. Otherwise, they may need to rely on the information provided on a website to determine if they like the selection. The company may sell the product disassembled, so this can mean that the buyer will have to put the product together after it arrives.

As long as the buyer looks at the details of the product and its components, they should be able to tell whether the futon is made well or will fall apart after a few uses. In addition, it is important to find out if there is a return policy, and if a customer service department is available to help with any problems that may occur.

Buying futons directly from manufacturers can save money, offer a wider selection, and provide the opportunity to purchase replacement parts or accessories that may not be available otherwise. Just make sure to research the company's reputation and prices before buying futons from a manufacturer.

Planning Your Sunroom Addition

One of the best ways you can maximize your sunroom use is to locate your sunroom addition along the southern side of your home. Having southern exposure will maximize the amount of sun your sunroom additions gets in every season of the year, and will make your sunroom more comfortable in winter than a sunroom addition with different exposure.

Wicker Futon Frame

You may want a conservatory style addition, which has a glass roof as well as glass walls, but your climate might not allow it. If, for example, you live in an area where you can expect large amounts of snow in the winter, adding skylights to your room, instead of a full glass roof, makes much more sense.

Wicker Futon Frame

If, however, you intend to use your addition as a dining area or extra bedroom, you might consider replacing the lower portions of the glass walls with knee panels to give the room a more traditional appearance. You'll also have an easier time installing electrical outlets in the knee walls.

Sunroom Addition Windows

Because the windows and doors of a room addition are responsible for its ventilation, their placement is important. However, your room may have both vents to pull in warm air and exhaust fans to expel it when necessary. You can also keep your room cool for much of the day by installing window shades which you can set with a timer to open or close automatically, and you can ask for your windows to be coated with gray UV-blocking film. Doing so will protect your room addition's furniture and flooring from fading.

Sunroom Addition Furniture And Decorating Ideas

One of the most important features of your room will be its furniture. You should furnish your room with pieces which will be appropriate to its use, but sturdy enough to handle lots of sun and wear. Wicker is one of the most popular of all room addition furniture materials.

Made from woven plant materials, wicker room furniture is ideal for warm humid climates because its fibers absorb dampness and become softer and more lustrous. But wicker tends to dry and crack in cold weather, so is not a good choice in a year round room.

While PVC-coated metal makes weather resistant furniture, it lacks the natural charm of wicker. So great sunroom addition compromises is to choose teak or another wood, for its natural looks, low maintenance, and weather tolerance. Whichever material you choose for your furniture, you can make it even more inviting with plenty of soft, colorful cushions and pillows, area rugs, wall art, and of course, plant stands overflowing with bright tropical blooms, abundant ferns, and graceful palm trees!

Rattan, Bamboo, and Other Plant Fiber As Furniture Material

Furniture with natural material finishing usually will attract some people, not only because of its natural impression but also because of its exclusivity. It becomes more special if the designer creates the unique design furniture, when using natural material like rattan, bamboo, and plant fiber. Cane work (wicker) and the flexibility of rattan style become the art work.

Wicker Futon Frame

Plant Fiber such as banana fiber often amazes many people. Chair from banana fiber gives unique style, so people are anxious to touch it. Generally people have an opinion that rattan and any other natural material are susceptible to termite and easily broken. But this is the wrong opinion. Manufacturers of wicker furniture have made special preparation of their natural material (rattan, bamboo, plant fiber) before they used it as furniture material. Some processes have been done to make the natural material will have some important properties i.e. weather resistant, durable and anti-termite. Usually plant fiber is using only as finishing touch where wood solid or some metals are used as its frame.

Wicker Futon Frame

Most popular plant fiber is rattan. To make furniture, we can only use the rattan skin, inside material of rattan, or can be combination both of them. Many kinds of rattan are categorized based on its origin, strength, and diameter size. One of popular rattan is Kalimantan rattan (Kalimantan is one of island in Indonesia). This rattan has 3mm - 6mm diameter, termite resistant, and high water resistant. It is usually used in whole because of its strength and its diameter quite small. But not all kinds of rattan are termite resistant and high water resistant like rattan Kalimantan. That is why if rattan especially rattan inside material is used, it must be protected with anti termite first.

The signal of a termite presence is usually marked with white powder came out from the rattan. Separate this rattan immediately from the good rattan and apply/spray with anti termite.

Beside rattan, bamboo also is quite popular. Betung type bamboo has diameter 10cm - 13cm, most used as platform for sleeping (amben), table, and chair. Recent popular bamboo types are Cendani and Mayan. Cendani bamboo has 1cm - 3cm diameter, while Mayan bamboo has 5cm - 10cm diameter. Even though the diameter of these 2 kinds of bamboo is smaller than Betung bamboo, they have good strength. Mayan and Cemani bamboo are good to be used as rack, cupboard or room divider.

Other plant fiber using for furniture material is from banana plant. Banana fiber is taken from stem of the banana bunch. After dried, banana fibers are twisted and then applied to furniture frame. Same processes usually apply to water hyacinth (enceng gondok) and water pandanus. These kinds of material are better using for interior only, not for exterior. Even though they are using as interior furniture, we have to place them at the area where enough sunlight is able to reach them. They are susceptible to water and moisture. When the condition is wet and moist, these kinds of materials are dilatable and mold can easily grow there. And as a result, color will change and material will decay. If you found these materials are wet, quickly dehydrate them with dryer or dry it in the sun to avoid mold growing.
