When you're short on cash or space for a typical sofa bed to kit out the office or living room, you might want to think about investing in a futon sofa bed.
Inspired by traditional Japanese futons which are a type of floor fold-out mattress, the futon sofa is a versatile and stylish solution to sleeping a houseguest with short notice and ease.
Differing from a regular sofa bed that is usually a traditional sofa with a hidden mattress that can be pulled out and unfolded to create a bed, a futon sofa bed folds in on itself to become a seat, and can also fold out to be a mattress. Though, nowadays, there's sofa bed-futon hybrids that often feature aspects of regular sofa beds' frames such as legs but also with the foldable mattress design. Futon sofa beds are generally less expensive and more portable than typical sofa beds.
With style and affordability in mind, we've rounded up some of the best futons and sofa beds currently on the Aussie market. Read on for our top picks.
