Whilst checking out eBay's guide to buying a sofa bed or futon I couldn't help but draw a comparison to an old record I used to have 'PXR5' by Hawkwind!
Older readers may recall this particular album had a sleeve design which showed a incorrectly wired 3-pin plug which had to have a warning sticker placed over it for fear of someone following the wiring suggestion and, naturally, giving themselves a nasty shock in the process!! Anyway, after reading the eBay buying guide I think it's just possible that it too should have an appropriate warning sticker over the top of it; the wording is bad and the information contained within is, to say the least, sketchy and not really correct or informative.
So the suggestion here is that if you're looking for a futon or sofa bed then ensure you take advice from specialist stores like ourselves who will be happy to guide you with your choice ensuring you purchase the correct product for your needs.
You can check out the eBay guide at http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Sofa-Bed-Buying-Guide-/10000000177320575/g.html or simply read the articles in our blog!

What?? it can't be that time of year already...can it? Well not exactly but every year we try to encourage customers who are looking for a futon or sofa bed for Christmas use to buy early. Why is this?....
Well the closer we get to Christmas the busier the delivery companies get and, in our experience, the more errors they make which causes hassle for our customers and us - I'm sure we could all live without that!
In addition, and just as importantly, please be aware that stock levels of futon bases in particular can decrease rapidly as we get into mid / late November so if there is a certain item you are after then take the plunge and buy it sooner rather than later.

I know you're thinking...'what has this got to do with futons?'...well nothing really but we loved these bags so much that we had to get them in stock.
Fans of retro computing and gaming will love the 8-bit graphic style which enables you to create your own designs (I'm thinking Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Galaxians etc..) using coloured silicone pixels fixed onto a silicone panel on the bag front and you can change your design time and again!
On top of this the bags are really well made and feature padded compartments for your laptop / kindle etc plus all your daily stuff.
Check out the YouTube clip to see for yourself...

Yes, I know, lots of futon mattresses are comfy so not really a fair title for this blog post! However the tricky area has always been the futon mattress for two seat style futon sofa beds. Whether you have a hardwood two seat, metal two seat or traditional pine 'A' frame sofa bed the futon mattress has always been a bit of a balancing act between producing a comfy mattress and one that is practical to fold into the 'semi-S' shape when being used as a sofa.
Well, our friends at Cambridge Futons are now making the new Flexi-Pocket Futon Mattress which makes use of a micro-pocket spring cage in the center of the mattress which improves both sitting and sleeping comfort along with increased durability. For the 'untrained eye' this futon looks 'normal' and, thankfully, still provides the usual benefits of support as the spring cage is surrounded by layers of woolfelt and pure lambswool.
So, if you're on the lookout for a futon mattress for regular use then we think the new Flexi-Pocket is worth a place near the top of your list. Find it by following the link below;

In today's furniture stores there are so many futons and sofa beds to choose from it can easily cause confusion and lead to the good old pine futon being overlooked as 'cheap' or 'uncomfortable' which, as you may be aware, is not always the case.
The internet is crowded with the cheap sofa beds imported from the farthest corners of the world, many are just crude metal frames covered in foam and cheap fabrics that look great when they are new but are best 'binned' after 6 months or so!
Pine frame futon sofa beds have been around for a few decades now in the UK and in the present market the quality can vary in accordance with the type, grade and thickness of the pine timber used. We would always suggest going for a frame in Redwood Pine as this is tough and durable and, of course, look for the detailing; is the wood smooth and free of sap pockets, how well are the screws and fasteners fitted, is the timber a decent thickness and can parts be replaced in future if needed? All important questions that need to be considered. It really is worth giving good consideration to the pine futon as a well made one will last you forever and will certainly outlast the metal sofa beds we previously mentioned.

Not really a direct futon discussion but I thought this article was interesting. Google have a monopoly here in the UK which would, perhaps, not be allowed in any other industry. Why not spend 5 mins reading this article from the BBC, is it time to look at the alternatives, after all who needs to know about Tesco's and five entries for Gumtree that are adverts that have expired? Is Google loosing the way?

Over the years I know many people have purchased Sofa Bunk sets and what a great idea they have been, we've sold some different models over the years including the original Jay-Be Sofa Bunk, many of which are still around today, in fact we've just given our old one at home away after 12 years of use and it was still going strong!
Anyway, as I'm sure you will know if you have a sofa bunk the futon mattress on the sofa can need replacing after a few years and, you'll be pleased to know, this is not a problem as, here at The Futon Shop, we have a selection of futon mattress types and sizes to suit Sofa Bunks of all types.
If you follow the link below you can view these on our website. If you are unsure what to look for the please give us a call from the number on our website. Before you call us can I suggest that you open the sofa into the bed position and measure the size of the bed (width and length) and also check if the sofa / bed base uses metal mesh / poles or wood 'arched' (or 'sprung') slats for the support. Once you've done that just give us a call!

One of the most common questions we get asked concerns how a futon mattress feels to use as an everyday bed......
Well all our futon mattresses are manufactured down here in Devon using a variety of filling types such as woolfelt, lambswool, coir and, sometimes, polyester or foam cores. The typical behaviour of a new futon mattress tends to give a fairly soft, 'squidgy', feel when the futon is new, fresh out of the bag, but as you start to use the futon mattress the fillings will compress increasing the firmness. After a couple of weeks you will notice the difference as your futon gains the firm but supportive feel you are used to experiencing from a futon mattress.
We would also recommend that regular turning of your futon would be good practice, each time we change our bedding at home we rotate our futon end to end and upside down, this helps even out the wear on the futon. You may also find that as the compression takes effect your futon mattress develops a 'person shaped' pit in it which is common place and will even out with use.
Of course, if you would like to discuss any particular areas of futon mattress use please feel free to contact us through our website...

These brightly coloured fabrics are UK designed and printed on tough cotton, half-panama weave, fabrics and are contrasted with a plain border and reverse.The Carnaby range is a little more expensive then the standard plain cotton drill but, in our opinion, well worth the extra as the futons look great.

Sleep finding ways to get more
Why a bedroom should not be just another family room. Sleep finding ways to get more or enough of it is a broad subject and here's the first in a series of posts that may help.
Most people enjoy a good night’s sleep. There is little doubt “a good kip” is a necessity for putting the anxieties of the day behind you and setting up the body for the events of the following day.
An essential element in getting “proper rest” is the state of your bedroom. The reason society has developed a separate place to sleep is that it’s a unique environment; try not to have too much clutter.
Your bedroom should have curtains or blinds that shut out light completely so morning sun doesn’t wake you too early, something that can easily disturb your sleep particularly in summer months. Good quality curtains help keep noise levels from traffic and disturbances in the street down to a minimum.
Extremes of temperature affect sound sleep so err on the side of coolness if you use central heating. Also, try to find natural bedding, all cotton or silk sheets together with a decent duvet will help peaceful rest. If it’s too warm in your bed, make changes.
When getting ready to sleep a radio is a better option that the stimulating effect of television. If at all possible a computer should be used in a room other than the bedroom. Of all aids to sleep, reading is probably the best.

These days we seem to have every type of filling for a futon mattress, you name it we've got it; woolfelts, cottons, lambswools, foam, springs...the lot!
Despite all the various options providing different levels of comfort and support it seems some of our customers are looking for a pure and simple traditional futon mattress to provide a firm but supportive sleep. To us a traditional futon is usually being used, laid flat, on a bed frame for everyday sleeping, as opposed to a futon mattress used for a futon sofa bed where the mattress is required to fold. If this is the case we would manufacture the futon mattress using, simply, lambswool and woolfelt layers, the lambswool as the top and bottom layer of the futon and six layers of woolfelt inbetween with an option to substitute the woolfelt futon fillings for a cotton rich filling for a softer / springier feel. This type of traditional futon mattress, although starting its life with a medium feel, will compress down in the traditional way to provide a firm but supportive sleep that has become the preference of the experienced futon bed user.

Glamping? I know you're thinking what has that got to do with Futon Beds? Well, over the last few years we've supplied our Futon Beds and Futon Sofa Beds into some great camping environments. 'Glamping' is the name given to, er, 'posh' camping! This includes Yurts, Bell Tents, Safari Tents and basically any traditional canvass tents which are made lovely and cosy with soft furnishings, often wooden floors and comfy beds or sofabeds.
This lovely glamping site in Snowdonia has used our Osaka Futon Beds in their traditional Bell Tents and, as you can see from the picture, they look great and suit this style of camping perfectly.
For further information on our futon beds follow the links in this posting and, of course, if you fancy a glamping trip in Snowdonia follow the link below:

I'm sure that many of you have noticed the recent invasion of page one of Google organic listings and how the 'big boys' of business have started to take this page over?
Google Search used to be the one place that you could seek out alternative and different products and information from independent sources and retailers without having to conform to the ideas and profit driven motives of the multi-national chains but this now seems to be fading away as these companies have stepped up their manipulation of Google's search criteria. Do we really need to be told of the existence of Tesco and Argos, isn't the reason we're using Google in the first place to avoid them?
Well, if you want to support smaller, independent, businesses the do what I do...skip to page two! Better still, let Google know, tell them you preferred the old results, do something before the internet becomes just a virtual out-of-town retail park!!

With Spring just around the corner (fingers crossed!) this is the start of the time of year when we'll be spending more time in sunnier parts of the house such as a conservatory or sun room. If you're looking to add a bit of privacy why not have a look at our range of Oriental room divider screens which make a great addition to many rooms in the house.
I know from conversations with customers that these screens are great for dividing off area's of a room such as separating a desk / work area, a dressing area or kitchen space as well as making a great privacy screen for, as previously mentioned, a conservatory or a large window area.
We also seem to send many of these Oriental Screens to businesses as well, such as beauty and nail bars, restaurants and health clubs to name just a few.
We also now have a range of Decorative room divider screens which actually not only make a great room divider but are lovely decorative items in themselves. Anyway, if you have any questions please feel free to contact us through our website or via the blog.

Over the last few weeks some street art has been springing up around Union Street, where we are based in Plymouth. I love this type of art and think that it really helps to brighten up and add interest to 'eyesores'such as long term empty shops and pubs etc.
Union Street in Plymouth has had its fair share of economic depravation over the last couple of decades but seems to be showing signs of improvement which would be great as there always seems to be a strong and varied community down here.
Anyway follow the link to our Google+ page to see all the photo's.

Chatting to one of our customers the other day I realised that they were putting one of our low level futon beds into their recently completed loft conversion. Now this is interesting as I've seen a lot of loft / attic conversions being done around Plymouth recently.
Naturally ceiling height is often an issue in converted roof spaces and a low level bed will help take care of this by not making you sleep uncomfortably close to the roof and, additionally a bed frame with a low height also gives a perspective of taking up less space generally in your room.
Of course the other question we get asked about beds is 'will it fit up the stairs' and, as our futon low beds come in an easy to assemble flat-pack form getting them up (or down) a narrow or 'spiral' type staircase is no problem.
Our beds can be purchased with a selection of futon mattresses or you can use them with other mattress types such as sprung mattresses or foam based mattresses, please feel free to contact us through our website or ask a question on the blog here if there is anything else you would like to know.

I guess if your reading this your maybe looking for a new Futon Mattress to replace your existing one? Well buying a futon mattress can be confusing so here at The Futon Shop we've got a good selection and we're quite happy to chat to you on the phone to discuss your requirements.
Basically the first step is to decide what type of futon mattress you need and I would suggest dividing this into three main areas:
1) Futon Mattresses for bed use - if your intention is to use your futon mattress for everyday sleeping use on a bed frame, tatami matting or on the floor then you need to choose a futon mattress designed specifically for this purpose such as our Traditional 8 Layer Futon Mattress for a firm but supportive feel or our Pocket FutoFlex Futon Mattress for a softer supportive feel.
2) Futon Mattresses for 3 seat futon sofa beds - often referred to as a Bi-Fold Futon Mattress these type of futon mattresses are designed to simply fold along the length to allow them to fit three seat style (or 'bench' style) futon frames in wood or metal. The rule here is to consider how frequently you use the futon, if it's regular use I'd recommend making a choice of a futon mattress with a high density foam core.
3) Futon Mattresses for 2 seat futon sofa beds - such as the traditional pine 'A' frame futons, the classic style we all know and 2 seat style hardwood and metal futon sofa beds. These type of futon mattresses can also be referred to as Tri Fold Futon Mattresses and are designed to be a combination of comfort and flexibility to allow them to fold in the 'semi-S' shape to fit correctly on the futon frame.
Information on all of these futon mattress types can be found at our website or please feel free to call us on 01752 662030.

I know I'm always 'banging on' about the subject of organic and natural futon mattresses but this subject is getting more important as time goes by.
The first big question is what is the difference between organic and natural? Well as I understand it a futon mattress with natural fillings and fabrics would mean that the futon is manufactured using materials that are free from artificial interference, i.e. free from man-made fibers and any chemical additives, this is truly what we should be sleeping on.
For a product to be truly organic the fillings and fibers should have a link from the origins and sources of the animals, plants or ground they were grown on or in! Now this is a tall order and I do wonder if any of the people posting that they have 'organic' futons should, in fact, be using the term 'Natural' instead?
Anyway, I think we should all pay more attention to what kind of mattress we are sleeping on and I'm please to say that here at Futons247 we can offer a couple of Natural Futon Mattresses of varying degrees of firmness and filling choice. Check us out.

Well, yesterday morning was spent delivering a new futon mattress to these lovely people who have made their home on a boat on the canal near Bath, a really beautiful and peaceful spot.
To help ensure all went smoothly I delivered the Futon Mattress myself, meeting up with the boat at a suitable mooring spot.

We've blogged before about the desire to expand our range of futon mattresses that use chemical free coverings and natural fillings and are now pleased to say that we've expanded our range to offer a choice of sizes and fillings in futons for everyday bed use and we will also soon have available a chemical free futon for use on three seat style futon sofabeds, keep checking the blog for updates.The biggest development in this type of natural futon mattress is the use of the totally natural wool and hemp weave fabric for the mattress cover thus taking away the necessity to have FR treatment. This type of fabric is quite expensive pushing the price of the futon mattress up, but, in our opinion, this is a small price to pay to achieve a chemical free sleeping environment. The Natural Futon Mattresses are offered, for bed use, as either the DeLuxe Natural Futon Mattress featuring two central layers of coconut fibre / latex coir or the Traditional Natural Futon Mattress which uses a traditional mix of lambswool and woolfelt. Follow the links to our website for full details.

Are Google driving you crazy? Why does their search system seem to favour the big companies like eBay, Amazon and Argos? More annoyingly the system seems to detect your IP address and then feed you results with a local bias....great in principle but useless in practice as my BT Business Broadband suggests that I'm in Bath so the results reflect that, very frustrating. I think we should all go back to using Yahoo, like years ago, as their results now look like Google's did a year ago, much better!
