Decision Time: Futon or Sofa-Sleeper?

Posted on Sun, Nov 25, 2012

The decision to purchase a sofa-sleeper or a futon can be major decision. They both serve the same purpose but are very different in how they perform and feel. They both open to beds, but that's where the similarities end. Futons allow you to quickly customize the way they feel and look by selecting one of many different mattresses for your comfort level.
