Cost :

• When most customers are looking at futon frames, mattresses, or platform beds based on cost, they’re usually trying to get a lower priced futon.
• Lower priced futons usually sacrifice finer details the higher priced futons include. Features like finish options, wood choices, and futon longevity are all effected by the cost.
• While lower cost futons do sacrifice some on quality, lower priced futons are great for college kids, or first time renters. The isn’t much sense in buying a futon that you won’t end up keeping once you’re out of the dorm. So, they’re the perfect starter futon.

Quality :

• Higher quality futons usually provide a better end result. They last longer, provide more support, and are generally considered real furniture which is made for more than your friends to crash on.
