When looking for a piece of furniture to add to your living room or even any area of your house, a single futon mattress is a great option if you’re looking for something that has a lot of utility while remaining compact in size. This item, like any other of its type, can serve a double purpose by acting as a futon chair or by taking on the role of a bed. What then distinguishes the single futon? Simple. It’s size. While a double or a queen size futon can end up taking up a considerable amount of space, a single is actually very compact, and you’ll find yourself easily able to fit it into even a small room. Let’s take a look at some of the different types and features offered.

When picking out your futon, you’ll have to choose between several main options, one of them being the material used for the actual mattress part. If you love a soft bed, then you may want to choose one that has a latex mattress to give you that feeling you’re used to. On the other hand, if you favor a more firm mattress, you can instead opt to go with a foam futon instead.

Next, you’ll also need to take into consideration the actual thickness of the mattress. Some futons use mattresses that are thicker than others, so you’ll have to take into consideration how much weight will be on the mattress and how frequently it will be used. Fortunately, since this will only be seating one person, this isn’t as big of a factor as it would be if you were purchasing a twin futon mattress or a full size futon mattress.

You’ll also want to take into consideration the look and style of the futon that you’re purchasing. There are many different styles and types, ranging from the Japanese futon mattress to the American futon mattress. You’ll also be able to choose between the types of wood or metal used for the futon frame of the bed.
Futon mattresses can be further customized by the usage of futon covers. While some covers are fairly straightforward and serve merely to protect and cover the mattress, others offer more customization and style. For example, you might be able to find futon mattress covers that also cover the armrests and or pillows of your mattress. This can add a completely new dimension to stylizing your futon.

Color (of both the wood and the actual mattress) is another thing that you’ll definitely want to take into consideration. You want to pick something that matches the room that you’ll be putting the futon in. But since it’s such a mobile piece of furniture, you may actually end up using it in multiple rooms, so perhaps a more neutral color scheme would be preferable. Either way, pick something you like and you’ll be sure to enjoy and get a ton of usage out of your single futon.
