There are plenty of comfy sleeper chairs and cozy platform beds for a good night's sleep. But a comfortable futon? It can be hard to find, but yes, they do exist. With so many styles and choices to choose from, however, a little guidance in this department is necessary. That's why we did the hard part for you and scoured Amazon, Reddit, and top-rated furniture retailers to come up with our list of the 15 most comfortable futons out there.

When looking for a futon that maximizes comfort, it's important to consider other needs. For instance, if you need furniture for a small space, you'll want to think about a compact futon — after all, you may only be able to fit a twin-sized one in your sleeping area. If you are looking for something with more back support, perhaps opt for a futon with memory foam cushions. And don't forget about fabrics and finishes — those with kids and pets will need durable, stain-resistant couches while those with allergies will need something hypoallergenic.

We made sure to consider all of these criteria — size, durable materials and fabrics (velvet, cotton, linen, etc.), style, and price — in addition to comfort when coming up with our list. Check out the results of our search for the most comfortable futons of 2024 below.
