Futon

Futon is a type of chair which is described as a thin mattress of tufted cotton batting or similar material , placed on a floor or on a raised, foldable frame. It is a couch where the back drops, creating a bed

Futons are a popular alternative for those who need a sofa by day and a mattress by night. The mattresses must be very flexible, so they are typically made of cotton, synthetic fibers and foam in various combinations. The futon is designed to support sitting as well as sleeping.
