Two Styles - Chair and Mattress
There are two styles of twin futons: The chair style and the mattress style.
The chair style looks exactly as it sounds. It's a futon frame with a futon mattress on top of it, but instead of lying across horizontally it's laid up vertically.
The effect is that it creates a very comfortable padded chair. Unlike a normal chair, the futon chair is great for napping, cuddling, even for kids to bounce up and down on.
Pets love them. In fact, almost everyone loves them - Plushy chairs are very popular in any household.
Then there's the mattress style, as you might expect from the name, the style similar to that of a regular futon. It's a futon frame with a twin sized mattress stretched across.
The Different Styles of Futon Frames
Futon frames come in many different styles. Here are a few to think about, as well as a couple tips on how to choose the right style for you.
Futons are often purchased by college students, whose #1 criterion might be price. Price is certainly a crucial point, but also consider how long you want the futon to last.
If you're buying a very cheap futon frame, chances are it'll be made from inexpensive materials. That means it won't last as long. If you're only in college for a year, that's fine. If you're planning on being where you're at for 3-4 years, then it make sense to invest in higher quality material.
There are wooden futon frames, metallic futon frames and even plastic futon frames. It really depends on what kind of look and feel you want to go for.
Just as there's a variety of materials they're made from, there are a variety of styles as well. Some fold out and turn into a bed, while others are static. Some look rather stiff, while others look creative.
