How To Pick Your Perfect Single Futon In 5 Easy Steps

A single futon is a fantastic solution for small apartments, guest rooms, or multifunctional spaces. Whether you need a compact sleeping option or a stylish seating choice, picking the right futon single chair requires thoughtful consideration. Follow these five steps to ensure your single futon bed is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Measure Your Space

Before purchasing a single futon, determine where you plan to place it. Measure both the available floor area and the wall clearance needed when unfolded. A compact option like the LAYTI-90 Single Futon Chair (Width: 90 cm / 35.4 inches, Length: 200 cm / 78.7 inches) is perfect for smaller spaces, offering a seamless transition from folding futon chair to bed without overwhelming the room. Always leave extra room for movement, ensuring a comfortable fit within your living area.

Choose Your Style

Your single futon couch should complement your existing decor. Scandinavian-inspired designs, such as those offered at AliBene, blend minimalism with practicality. Opt for neutral fabric tones if you prefer a timeless look or go bold with a statement color to enhance your interior. The LAYTI-90 Natural Wood Futon Chair provides an elegant yet versatile aesthetic, effortlessly fitting into modern, rustic, or classic decor schemes.

Decide on a Frame Material

The durability and visual appeal of your futon chair single bed depend largely on its frame material. Solid beech wood, like that used in the LAYTI-90 Futon Chair, is an excellent choice for longevity and sustainability. Treated with linseed oil, it not only resists wear but also adds a warm, organic touch to your space. Metal frames, on the other hand, offer a sleek, industrial vibe but may lack the warmth of natural wood.

Select the Right Mattress

Comfort is key, whether you use your single futon chair bed for occasional guests or as a primary bed. A high-quality single futon mattress made of polyester and cotton-wool blend, like the one included with AliBene futons, provides balanced support and coziness. If you plan to sleep on it frequently, opt for a thicker mattress that maintains its shape while providing pressure relief. Breathable, easy-to-clean fabrics also extend the life of your futon single bed.

Make Sure It Folds Well and Is Comfortable to Sit On

The true test of a single futon sofa lies in its versatility. Ensure that it folds smoothly without requiring excessive force. A well-designed mechanism, like that found in AliBene's futon chair sleeper, allows easy transformation from a stylish 1 seater sofa bed to a relaxing single futon bed. Test the seat depth and backrest angle—your armchair futon bed should be equally comfortable for sitting, lounging, and sleeping.
