Are Metal Futons All That?
The question posed in the title of this post is one that many futon shoppers ask when they delve into futon country. Metal frames have some great lines and look super modern, but are they as well made as wooden futon frames?
The simple answer is yes and no!
Some metal frames can be extremely well made, stylish pieces of furniture. They can provide great support and be fantastic fixtures in your space. Other metal futon frames, like those peddled by the mega marts are not worth the cost of the metal used to build them. Cheap metal frames have slats that are too thin and too far apart. This feature, or lack there of reduces the support and can ruin premium futon mattresses.
So, if you’re looking into a metal futon frame, steer clear of the mega marts and find a quality metal futon frame from a retailer that specializes in such goods.
