The Bonus Room Isn’t A Bonus When The Sofa Won’t Fit!

Now that you bought the sofa, are you having a hard time getting it into the space it is meant for? We have your answer.  Take it back and get a futon!!  Futons are the perfect solution for getting around corners, going up stairs, and fitting into lofts or tight spaces without scraping or damaging your walls. You can take it up in pieces and put it together right in the room or space it is meant for.  Futons are comfortable and stylish, and won’t hurt your budget.  You can design your own look and get it in time for the holidays.   Best of all it will make a comfortable place for overnight guests, as well as, provide a great place for family and friends to sit and play….. Now that is a bonus!

Visit either Memphis Futon Store today and check out our large inventory of futon frames, mattresses, and covers.

Maybe it's your mattress...

   

You use it all night, every night & some of the daytime too (if you’re lucky!)

Are you…
...waking up tired or sore? 
…finding it hard to get comfortable? 
…rolling or slanting toward your partner when sleeping or sitting?

It might be time for a new futon or bed mattress. A good mattress usually only has a life of 7 to 8 years. Even when you buy a great mattress your body changes over the years and your mattress may no longer be supportive. How old is yours?

In today’s economy, we work long hours only to come home to the headache of bills, bills, bills. Sleeping (or lack thereof) on an unsupportive mattress not only causes your body physical stress, but mental stress too. Don’t hinder yourself any longer. And now that nights are getting longer and the weather is getting colder, think about trading in your old futon or bed mattress for the comfort and coziness of a supportive one. We can help find an affordable, supportive mattress just for you. Stop by either Futon Store location today and check out the improved quality and comfort of today’s futon or platform bed mattresses. Our only concern is that you won’t get out of bed for work!

Size Doesn't Have to Matter!!!

...if you make the most of what you have!!! When money is tight, many of us don’t have the luxury of adding square footage to our homes, or purchasing a new home. Here are some simple tips to help you make the most of your space: (1) Use multi-purpose furniture. Futon furniture has become increasingly popular for maximizing space in home offices, guest bedrooms, den and play areas. Not only can a futon provide a comfortable sitting and sleeping option, but many have storage accessories options and interchangeable covers allow you to customize the look of your room. (2) Make use of hidden storage. Adding a twin or full platform bed with under the bed drawer or trundle space is a smart way to add storage and/or extra sleep space to any room. Plus, the simple lines offer a streamlined clutter free look. By adding one of these accessories to a kids bed, bunk or daybed, voila, extra space for overnight guests and/or kid clutter. (3) Maximize vertical real estate. A simple bookshelf can provide a plethora of storage and design options to any space. Taller shelves take advantage of valuable space. Baskets and decorative bins can be used to organize and hide smaller items. Add colorful binders, books and accessories to jazz up the space. Or, use a loft system or bunk bed to maximize vertical real estate in small kid’s rooms. Many come with shelving and desk options to add additional storage and work space for one or more child.
