Futons with next day delivery FREE

January 12, 2012

Futons from Comfy Living are exclusively manufactured here in the UK. Every futon set that we sell is constructed from quality materials, from pressure treated pine timber for the wood base, to the construction of the futon mattress.

Futon mattresses from Comfy Living are stuffed with 4 layers of natural fillings including felt and wool. Futon mattresses from alternative sources could be filled with pieces of foam which lose their shape and support. Every Comfy Living futon mattress is a fixed cover design, with 4 layers of fillings, twisted and packed for maximum life expectancy.

Standard futon mattresses are 9cm thick, and are approximately 10kg in weight - that’s a heavy mattress. Customers ask us whether the mattress can be rolled to store away, to which we advise the mattress may be too thick to roll, but the mattress can be triple folded and stored.

Luxury futon mattresses use the same natural fillings, however the depth is 14cm thick. These super luxury mattresses weigh in about 15kg and will easily last a number of years of use, whether as a sofa bed, or as an occasional bed for when guests sleepover.

The futon covers are 100% cotton drill, which enables the material to be dyed in a range of colours to suit every living space. There are a wide variety of colours including the popular Chocolate and Cream reversible futon mattress which is available as the 9cm standard and also the 14cm luxury.

Metal futons offer a extra sturdy frame seating you higher off the floor, the futon base is tubular aluminium supplied ready assembled, all you have to do is attach the legs. With the Kingston Metal Futon frame there is an extra supportive leg in the centre. See the video below.

Chairbeds, Foam Cube Beds, Kids Sofa Beds

Kids love nothing better than a fun furniture addition to their bedroom, especially if it means they can have friends and relatives sleep overnight.

Safety is always in mind when buying for children, one popular idea is a bed chair, or sofa bed made from foam. Simple to flop out like a Z bed, and simple to fold away again, chairbeds are a firm favourite with children and parents alike.

At Christmas it is expected that sometime over the festive period and New Year, there will be a good chance that a guest bed will be in need. Choosing the right guest bed is straightforward depending on the age or size of the guest. Here’s the Comfy Living guide for kids and adults sofa beds and futons.

If you’re on a budget and your little ones have invited over the cousins to stop overnight, a cheap and practical bed solution would be a foam cube bed.

These handy cubes double as a chair/stool as well as flopping out into a single bed perfect for kids up to the age of around 12. Look to buy a colour that would hide dirt the most – sometimes black is not the best colour, a chocolate brown or tan colour could be a better choice!

For older children a larger foam chair bed, or a double sofa bed would be a good consideration. 

With the low weight of a foam type filling, these fun furniture items are both practical and modern, as well as providing a comfortable sleeping area for teenagers and light adults. Sofa beds are suitable for 2 small children to share, up to around 5 years old depending on the height of the child.

With adults to accommodate, look no further than a traditional futon. The futon base can be solid pine or a metal action futon. Consider the depth of mattress when buying a futon, mattress range from a 9cm depth to a luxury 14cm thick futon mattress. Look for a cotton drill cover as these will be available in a range of modern and funky dyed colours.

The futon mattress covers are a fixed design in 100% cotton drill, which is the perfect material to dye in a range of colours and shades to suit every home decor.

Futons from Comfy Living are available to buy with a metal action frame, or with a solid wood base. The pine bases are pressure treated for longevity, and are simple to assemble at home - no tools required, just pop on the 2 feet and you’re ready to relax.

Easter 2011 Space Saving Sleepover Solutions

April 11, 2011
Category: Bedroom Furniture, Beds — Written by Nina

This Easter having family over to stay or entertaining the kids could potentially lead to a very squashed household with little room to spare to accommodate guests to sleepover.

There are a few solutions to this situation, depending on what type of visitor you have.
Here are some top tips for space saving ideas when entertaining over Easter:

  • If you’re on a budget and your little ones have invited over the cousins to stop overnight, a cheap and practical bed solution would be a foam cube bed. These handy cubes double as a chair/stool as well as flopping out into a single bed perfect for kids up to the age of around 12. Look to buy a colour that would hide dirt the most – sometimes black is not the best colour, a chocolate brown or tan colour could be a better choice!
  • For older children a larger foam chair bed, or a double sofa bed would be a good consideration. With the low weight of a foam type filling, these fun furniture items are both practical and modern, as well as providing a comfortable sleeping area for teenagers and light adults. If a sofa bed is for a newly decorated child’s bedroom, select a colour that would suit changing tastes as the years go on – a classic navy blue for a boy, and a lavender or pink for a girl.
  • Bunk beds and mid sleepers are very reasonably priced beds for small rooms where space is a premium. Look for a bunk bed with a changeable ladder and that also splits into 2 single beds should the need be required in the future. Mid sleepers are great as an alternative single hi-rise bed, with space underneath for a chair and a small desk for studying and storage. If you choose a standard pine wood, one idea is to paint or varnish the frame to match the bedroom colour scheme.
  • When thinking of space saving adaptable furniture for a living room, futons are a very popular choice. There is a huge variety of futons on the market and the outlay to buy a new futon is economical when you consider how many years you will own one. Whether your taste is for a solid pine wood base, or a sleek silver metal frame, one of the biggest benefits of a futon is the fact that you can replace the mattress whenever you feel like it. Depending on whether this will be for occasional use as a bed, and more as a sofa, or vice versa, take a moment to choose the mattress depth, around 9cm is a standard futon mattress depth, or look for a luxury thicker futon mattress around 14cm deep.
  • Leather sofa beds. Upmarket residences with a minimalist interior design tend to choose a sofa bed with a covering that compliments the surroundings. Leather is always a desirable covering, and materials have developed so much in the last decade that these days you can buy a faux leather sofa bed and it would be difficult to tell the difference between that and real animal hide. National department stores and online sites such as www.comfy-living.co.uk are great places to find a faux leather sofa bed.

So, when Easter comes around this year, remember to be prepared for accommodating guests and visitors and choosing the right kind of dual-use seating and sleeping furniture right the first time round will save many headaches in the future.

Trundle guest beds and captains beds with free UK delivery from Comfy Living

January 18, 2011
Category: Bedroom Furniture, Beds, Novelty beds — Written by admin

Ahoy there, mate! If you’re looking for a way to help eradicate some of the inevitable clutter found in every child’s bedroom, start at www.comfy-living.co.uk

The perfect solution for that small bedroom with too many toys, books and other indications of youth is a captain’s bed. These versatile beds get their name because they are like the beds built into ship’s cabins, with drawers underneath for storage.

Some of them even have a trundle bed, instead of a draw for storage, giving you two beds that fit in the space occupied by just one! How’s that for making more space in your child’s room?

The Wendy cabin bed is a solid frame made from sturdy pine with a handy roll out desk.  The bed also features a blue tent and adjustable ladder.  The Wendy can be used for storing items underneath if preferred. The bed frame has supporting side rails with a natural finish. Creative thinking went into coming up with this bed that has a contemporary look and feel, with storage at the forefront of design.

When purchasing a captains bed, you occasionally might need to hunt around a bit for a properly sized mattress, even though many of the newer ones are sized to accommodate regular twin or full mattresses. Also, traditional bedding is a bit of a problem, but there are great bedding sets designed just for your captain’s bed, ensuring that you get style as well as extra storage with your purchase.

Comfy Living also sell every mattress to suit every bed for sale on the website, so rest assured you can buy your bed and mattress together for delivery, plus you get a 10% discount if you buy both together, and free UK delivery.
