March turned out to be the month of the Convert A Couch at Goodnight Moon Futon. My website visitors couldn’t get enough of these great couches; they fit through any doorway, come in several styles, ship for free, and are very comfortable! The Madrid convert a couch was the most popular model, with it’s pillow top arms and matching pillow.
The A-Frame futon frame really combines the best of two futon styles. As most trifold style futon frames are armless, it’s tough to think of them as real pieces of furniture. The A-Frame fixes that by adding arms while still allowing you to purchase a one piece futon mattress for a loveseat style futon frame! That means huge savings on a futon frame that looks just a nice as a more expensive loveseat futon frame. At $240 with free shipping the A-Frame is a great bargain.
Today I’ve been working with a customer who needs a cot size futon mattress for an occasional use guest bed that’s going to get more frequent use by an exchange student. Well, she doesn’t really need a cot size futon mattress, but all the traditional cot size mattresses are thin and made with inferior foams, so she being a good host by looking into a nice, thick futon mattress option.
And so my search began!
At first I figured I’d have no trouble finding a cot sized futon mattress. Then I started looking at price sheets and calling manufacturers. To my disbelief cot futons are either non-existent or way over priced! As it turns out, cot futons are often considered custom jobs, thus the pricing is a bit higher (more expensive than a twin size futon). Who would think that smaller meant more expensive outside of the Fabergé egg world?
In the end I did manage to find an affordable all cotton cot from one of my manufacturers, so now I have an option for anyone in need of a cot size futon mattress on a budget.
May 2nd I’ll be traveling to Portland, Maine for my black belt test in Aikido and wanted to figure out an inexpensive way to stay the night. So, I searched online and read about the Econo Lodge American values sweepstakes, and visited their site, but couldn’t find a thing about it! So I searched the term and found tons of bloggers writing about how “cool it would be to win” since they entered and was pretty stumped. If it does exist and someone wants to point me in the right direction, please comment on this post. I’d love to get in on it.
Hands down, the Nomad Bed is one of the most affordable, solid platform beds I carry at Goodnight Moon Futon. Every month it’s one of my best selling platform beds, with four sizes to choose from and free shipping anywhere in the lower 48 states. What other platform bed is made from solid wood, sells for $159 in full size, and has a five year warranty?
