These Stylish Futons Are Nothing Like the One You Had in College

The slouchy old sofas of your dorm-room days have no place in your current space. There's an impressive array of style-forward futons available now, and some of these seats may not even look convertible at first glance — which makes them all the more appealing.

If you want to host overnight guests right in your living room or home office without overhauling your whole space or breaking the bank, you need to check out these smartly designed futons.

The Best Futons:

What to Consider

The main thing to consider is where and how you will be using your futon. Their smaller size and convenient convertibility make them more appropriate for placement in a spare room as opposed to serving as your main living room seat. Even the comfiest futons may be a bit firmer than a regular sofa because they tend not to have removable, foam-and-spring-filled seat cushions.

Also, these are not sleeper sofas with hidden mattresses tucked inside the frames. Futons have much simpler hinge mechanisms that can turn an upright seat into a flat, horizontal one. And for this reason, they may not be appropriate for accommodating more than one adult-sized sleeper at a time.

These petite seats are ideal for occasional hosts to provide additional sitting and sleeping room for their guests. And even when not in use, they complete a space beautifully with their crisp tailoring, soft upholstery, and cheery colors.

Here are the best futons and convertible sofas that can easily turn into a bed at a moment's notice.
