Futon - single or double best?

GlasgowGal

Hi we are looking to buy a futon for occasional guests to sleep on for 1-2 nights per month. It will not be used as a sofa during the day. Hubby thinks we should buy a single futon, thinks double look a bit unsteady at the edge and guest may roll off onto floor. Has anyone found this a problem? Tesco/Argos did have some nice double ones but unsure of quality but would not be in constant use. Any recommendations would be great, looking to keep it under £300.00. Many thanks.

Depends if you're inviting one or two guests?! If two, a single may be a bit cramped but at least if you get the double and they fall off in the night it wont be far to fall :rotfl:

For the limited use it would get, i'd not spend so much but probably get the double at least. Surely eBay/gumtree/freecycle etc would have an old ikea one going for much less than your budget?

Hi TiTheRev, It would be for single use only. The ikea ones did not look up to much. My brother is a fairly big guy and he would be using it at some point so need something that would take a bit of weight. Gumtree have nothing in my area but will check out free cycle. Would prefer a recommendation from someone who has purchased from ebay before parting with my cash. Many thanks for your comments.
