The 10 Most Cheap, Affordable, and Inexpensive Futons
Sacrificing comfort for price is not in our game plan and it shouldn’t be in yours either. We love new styles that give us plenty of options, but we don’t always like the price tag that comes with them. That’s why we personally curated this list of the best most affordable and inexpensive futons for you to browse for the newest addition to your home or office. Futons provide the ultimate space saving bed and couch combos that work for just about any location. But, they are most popular in apartments and dorms. The good news?

But, most of the futons on this list would look just as good sitting in your living room, maybe with guests not even knowing it was actually a futon as well.
