Here at The Futon Shop, we're specialists in futon mattresses, sofa beds and bed frames. Whilst we stock a large range of space-saving sofas and chairs, sometimes you need a more permanent sleeping solution. That's where our excellent range of beds comes in!
From the Elan to the Kanso, our low-level futon beds are made of strong redwood pine, making them durable and long-lasting. Many of them come in size and colour variations, allowing you to choose the bed that works best for you.
Read on below to learn about our most popular and our newest beds, or click here to view our full range.
Most Popular Bed Frames
One of our most simple frames, yet one of our most popular, the Senza Bed combines classic style with a touch of contemporary.
Available in both natural and black satin finish, the Senza comes in both a double or king size width. The timber frame is manufactured in FSC Certified (managed forest) Scandinavian redwood pine from Europe and features a simple style base with strong flat timber pine slats for even, firm support.
A similar popular choice is our Japan Bed. Like the Senza, it is also made with sustainably managed redwood pine and comes in both black satin and natural finish. However, this low-level bed can also bed used in conjunction with two of our Tatami Mats for a more authentic oriental feel.
These mats are traditional with a compressed rice straw filling and an Igusa, soft rush, woven covering giving a very firm feel to the sleeping area.
New Bed Frames -
With this summer season, comes two new bed frames: The Osumi and Osaka Futon Beds.
Both of these beds have a low-level design and are made from 100% European Redwood Pine with a natural, untreated finish. They feature slatted bases allowing for good ventilation, as well as a central support bar and four sturdy legs to create extra stability and durability.
The low-level design of both the Osaka and Osumi mean they would be perfect for smaller spaces such as loft rooms and mezzanines without compromising the space.
The Osumi Bed is also available with a pair of optional Cocoloc Tatami Mats. These feature coconut hair and cotton-based natural filling, making them lighter and more flexible without compromising the traditional appearance and fitting neatly within the frame on top of the slatted platform.
All of our beds are available as frames only or paired with one of our Devon-made mattresses. Learn more about our mattress range on our website or view the rest of our bed frames.

The Monk Futon Bed Roll has been around for decades. It is a staple piece, traditional and classic, perfect for an authentic, firm feel.
Our Monk Futons are available in three sizes: single, double and king. Each bedroll is handmade in our studio in Plymouth, UK - from sewing the mattresses covers, to tufting them, each is made with love and care. The Monk Roll is manufactured using a top and bottom layer of pure lambswool, with two layers of cotton-felt in between. We then button them through using felt mattress tufts, giving a thickness of around 8 cm. We also offer an upgrade to include the addition of a mini pocket sprung cage, creating the Pocket Monk. This provides a softer, supportive feel through individually pocketed, 3 cm springs — ideal for more regular use, with around 10 cm total thickness.
The ever-popular Monk Futons have been around for decades, often copied, but never quite to the same as the original. They are very practical, designed to be easily rolled up and secured with the provided velcro straps. This makes it easy to carry around or store.
Where To Use A Monk Futon -
A Monk Futon Bed Roll is excellent as a stopover bedroll for campers, yurts or similar accommodations. Perfect for solo travellers, who want to throw a bedroll into their van for extra comfort. Consider using the Monk Futon for stay-cations, back garden campouts or as soft extra seating for your family movie night.
In comparison, use your Monk Futon as a more permanent sleeping space by pairing it with our Folding Tatami Floor Mat.
Overall, the Monk Futon is adaptable to any situation where you might require additional sleeping space or a quick sleeping solution. Pick from our various fabrics to guarantee your Monk futon is perfect for you. So get yourself comfy, have a seat to meditate or relax on, have a snooze and, once you’re done with it, simply roll it up until next time!

One of the commonest requests we get from customers is if we can make futon mattresses to specific and, often, extra large sizes for them. I'm pleased to say that in most cases we are able to accommodate this and help our customers to get the futon mattress to suit their needs.
It is the case though that custom sized futon mattresses need to be entirely prepared by hand as our normal production runs are 'jigged up' for standard UK sizes so the extra use of materials and specifically time will incur increased costs but naturally we try to keep these to a minimum as we always enjoy the challenge of creating a lovely new futon mattress for our customers.
The images in this posting show a 'Super King' sized futon that we recently made for a returning customer, it's one of our Traditional 8 Layer futons for everyday bed use and measured in at 6ft wide by 6ft6ins long.
