This review has been updated 22 times since it was first published in March of 2015. Whether space is at a premium or you’re just in need of a versatile piece of furniture, a futon is sure to come in handy. Most of these will serve well as an occasional bed for unexpected guests, and can double as a comfortable sofa for a dorm room or a gaming area. Choose from an assortment of sizes and designs to find a model that brings out the best in your space and decor.

10. DHP Euro
If you want to maximize a limited amount of space, the DHP Euro (appx. $262) is a logical choice when it comes to furniture. At less than three feet in width, you can slide this into an office or a dorm room without worrying about cramping the area too much.
- Blends in well with modern decor
- Assembles easily in minutes
- Not ideal for regular use
9. Novogratz Brittany
Designed to give you the appearance of a vintage couch and the comfort of a contemporary futon, the Novogratz Brittany (around $291) is a fun option that can accommodate up to 600 pounds. It’s pretty low to the floor, though, so very tall folks may not enjoy sitting on it.
- Back is filled with soft foam
- Slanted legs are very stable
- Tough to clean off spills or stains
8. Better Homes Wood
Thanks to its decorative wooden arms, some guests may not even notice that the Better Homes Wood (around $648) is not a standard living room couch. The same can be said for anyone who sinks into its cushions for a marathon Netflix session.
- Durable frame is rock solid
- Ideal comfort level for sleeping
- Assembly can be tricky
7. DHP Premium
Built with strong stainless steel legs, the DHP Premium (about $212) is a sturdy model that can support a substantial amount of weight. If your office could use some new seating for waiting customers or meeting with clients, this one is definitely worth a look.
- Style is sleek and minimalist
- Converts from couch to bed quickly
- A bit too firm for some
6. Best Choice Convertible
Simple and functional, the Best Choice Convertible (around $258) has squat, sturdy legs and a handsome wooden frame. As a sofa, it will fit into spaces that most couches wouldn’t be able to, and it’s serviceable as a bed for a surprise overnight visitor.
- Can be adjusted to multiple angles
- Solid value option
- Seats 3 adults comfortably
5. Emoor Classe
Anyone who has spent an extended amount of time in Asia and become accustomed to the region’s style of futon will appreciate the Emoor Classe (around $208). It doesn’t have a frame; instead, this flexible mattress is very simple, super comfortable, and easy to store when not in use.
- Crafted in japan
- Cotton fabric is soft and durable
- Comes with a pillow
4. Kodiak Lounger
Once you get a good look at its powder-coated frame and additional wooden slats, you’ll feel at ease about the strength and stability of the Kodiak Lounger (about $289). Despite its sturdiness, the frame isn’t that heavy, which makes it simple to assemble and convert from sofa to bed.
- Wide range of color options
- Frame is 10 inches tall
- Height of arms is adjustable
3. Abbyson Living Jackson
When you think of a futon, a luxurious blend of comfort and style probably doesn’t come to mind — though if you go with the Abbyson Living Jackson (around $399), that may change. You can lock its backrest at two recline angles or set it totally flat for when it’s time to sleep.
- Beautiful metallic frame
- Unit is 4 feet wide
- Quality stitching for durability
2. Nirvana Stanford
With 10 attractive colors and two sizes to choose from, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself if the Nirvana Stanford (appx. $499) doesn’t look fantastic in your living space. You can arrange it in three different positions — sofa, lounger or bed.
- 5-year limited warranty
- Mattress has 4 layers of foam
- Not difficult to put together
1. Michael Anthony Phoenix
The mattress that comes with the Michael Anthony Phoenix (around $592) is eight inches thick and certainly looks more stylish than a standard futon. It’s ideal for homeowners who require extra sleeping space for guests, but want to maintain their home’s classy appearance.
- Made in the united states
- Side tray for drinks
