Is a futon bed comfortable?

Answer by  mem4dr (1378)

Futon beds are generally more comfortable than a sleeping bag, but less comfortable than a regular bed with a quality mattress. Futons tend to be stiff and/or lumpy and generally don't offer good lumbar support.

It depends on the mattress. Some futon beds have a cheap sorry mattress that comes with the frame. I also would not recommend a futon bed for anyone overweight. Most futons have a weight limit of 200 pounds. But they are very comfortable to sleep on.

It depends. If you purchase a $100 futon from a cheap furniture store, the bars can be fealt through the mattress. More expensive = More comfort.

They are only good for a short time. You want a full or queen bed to get a full nights sleep. These have a more solid feel and you can buy they in firm or extra firm. A futon has just a cot mattress covered with cloth and would only be good for overnite guests.
