futon or sofa bed?

i know this board isn't very active on the weekends, but i'm asking anyway...

which do you think are better/more comfortable/better value...futons or sofa beds?  i've always found sofa beds to have horrendous mattresses, but since futons aren't usually "real" mattresses i'm not sure if they're any better. any recs or thoughts?

Re: futon or sofa bed?

  • I would probably go with the sofabed 

    Is this for a living room? We still have a futon in our living room Embarrassed after 6 years of being in our house because we could never find a living room set we liked. I definitely feel it still looks a bit like college (next to my Pompasan from Pier One, LOL)...

    How often will guests be using it?

  • we're putting it an extra bedroom/office...we want the room to be an office with an option for someone to sleep there also.  i have family stay at my house almost every weekend, so it would be used pretty often...
  • I like the look of sofa beds more. But there are some nice futons at ikea. neither are comfy in reality. 
  • We have the Beddinge sofa bad from Ikea-it's sort of a hybrid of a sofabed and futon. We really like it and our overnight guests always comment on how comfy it is.
