Answer 1

I currently own a futon but was given it from a friend. I use it everynight for a bed but I would prefer an actual bed. You can get a really nice one for around 100 at Target, but I don't know about any other ones. They aren't hard to assemble at all and they are very good for multifunction and space saving.

Answer 2

Don't care so much about tacky, you can choose your covers and style.

You can use them as a bed every night. But when they wear down you can also feel the beams against your back!

They can be very cheap (depends on your budget)

They usually come with a mattress, the cheaper the futon the worse the mattress!

They last a long time but the mattress can tend to get hard and lumpy. If you use it as a sofa the heavy mattress slides down all the time.

Annoying to assemble but not too hard... get a friend to help.

I would rather try and get a sofa bed with a decent mattress! But hey, you check it out!

Google 'Futons' and the place you live, you should get a useful link.

Answer 3

i own a decent one i use for a bed but i paid 700.oo for it.it also can be used as a couch it has a heavy matress that is already stuck to it so no sliding off i bought it in case my couch goes i can use the futon for my next couch it is a nice one.

Answer 4

As a short term solution they are fine.They should come with a matress assembled. ("About a futon" sounds like a new Hugh Grant movie ;-)   )
