The Different Futon Sizes

Here are pictures of the different futon sizes we sell for easy comparison. We've added a few comments about the sizes as well. The futon frame featured in the pictures is the Andover.

You can compare the different mattress size here.

Full Size FutonFull Size Bifold Futon Frame

  • Makes the best everyday couch.
  • Comfortably sits 3 adults and sleeps 2.
  • Approximately 81"-85" width (arm to arm)

Why does a full size futon make a better couch than a queen size?

  • Nicer proportions. The extra width of the queen size mattress (60" versus 54") creates a higher back sofa which alters the feel of the sofa.
  • Smaller & easier to convert. With both the frame and the mattress smaller, it is easier to convert a full size futon.
  • Seats the same number of people. A queen size futon frame only adds 5" of seating space, enough for a cat but not for a person.
  • Sleeps the same number of people. A full size futon can sleep 2 adults easily.

Our queen futons are great sofas and beds but in most cases, we would recommend a full size over a queen.

Queen Size FutonQueen Size Bifold Futon Frame

  • Makes the best everyday bed.
  • Comfortably sits 3 adults and sleeps 2.
  • Approximately 86"-90" width (arm to arm)

Why choose a queen size futon rather than a full size futon?

  • Sleeps 2 adults more comfortably. While a full size futon can sleep 2 adults easily, a queen size futon does so more comfortably, especially if it is what the adults are used too.
