A futon originated from Japan and was similar in style to the modern day futons that are widely available, but the mattress used to be much thinner and filled with beans or straw.

A futon can be bought in various sizes, the most common being a sofa or double bed size. A futon allows you to have the flexibility of a having a sofa when folded up and when needed a spare bed that is easily converted and made ready.
