Cabin Furniture: Futons are Ideal!

Click here to see our selection of Futons for Cabin Furniture.

Whether tucked back into the mountains or at the seashore, a getaway cabin is a dream come true.  Cabins may have limited space, so families often need to maximize the sleeping arrangements when kids bring friends, and relatives’ families come for a stay. Cabin owners often end up using twin beds as sofas where they would really prefer to have sofas and beds. Why not use versatile, multi-functional furniture that provides both comfortable sitting and comfortable sleeping? 

Futon couches have many advantages as cabin furniture!  Consider some of the great things they can do for a cabin:

Futons serve both purposes – sitting and sleeping – admirably.  Today’s futons are comfortable and attractive sofas that open out into comfortable beds.

Futons come in twin, full, and queen sizes to blend into whatever spaces you have available. Many have a much lighter weight appearance than traditional sofas, so they are an attractive addition to a small room.

If concerned about mattress comfort, you can purchase futon mattresses with full innersprings and luxurious memory foam to enhance your sleeping comfort. There are also memory foam mattress toppers that will make any sleeper bed much more comfortable.

Futons are easy to convert from sofa to bed and back again. Even kids can work them. Some are easier than others.  Tip: the Clic-Clac mechanisms are among the easiest to operate.

Futons not only blend into the cabin décor but they can actually enhance it.  Oak and pine log futons and other carved wood frames give your mountain cabin a wonderful rustic appearance while being attractive and multi-functional. 

Futon covers for the mattresses come in (literally) thousands of beautiful designs.  Many are exquisitely woven with mountain and seashore designs in a variety of color schemes. Other scenes depict hunting, fishing, sailing, and golfing.  Don’t forget the tropical scenes, woodlands, and horse prints that resemble works of art. You can always buy additional yardage when you find the perfect design for your décor.

Covers for futon mattresses also come in today’s microfiber faux suedes and a wide variety of animal prints that resemble the rewards of big game hunts. Take your cabin décor a step further with pillows that match or coordinate with your futon cover designs.

Futons are frequently sold in pieces for (easy) assembly at home, so, no matter how small the cabin door, the unassembled futon frame will fit through it! Futon assembly is a simple process that takes only an hour or two.

Futon beds are available in a wide range of prices, from unfinished pine to beautiful, carved tropical woods and solid oak in a variety of finishes. You can always find the color and comfort level that you want.

Some futons have underlying drawers and secret compartments in which to store bedding when you’re not using it.  When you leave the cabin, stow your blankets, pillows, and sheets away for safekeeping.

Best of all, you will have real couches by day and real beds by night.
