Cheap Futon With Mattress Questions and Answers



Resolved Question: So, the bedframe is too big?

My fiancee and I recently moved in together and he had a futon. The futon worked for a while until it bent and was unusable. So we had to find a frame, boxspring, and matress all on a budget. And I mean B U D G E T. We are TIGHT on money... Im not going into details on that. So we got a 44 dollar universtal type frame from Value City. It says it can be a twin to a king frame. The thing is so cheap it didnt even come with instructions, just a diagram pitcture thing. There are three sizes. A twin/full. A twin/full/queen. And a king/cal king. The ONLY difference between the first two is the middle of the queen has a bar going down. The size for the frame though is the same for a twin, a double and a queen. We have a double bed, the same size as the futon we had. After we got the frame set up and put the boxspring and mattress on the bed, we realized something. The frame is a little further from the side of the bed. About three inches further. I assume its because it could also fit a queen? We got the matress and frame pushed up against the wall - where my fiancee sleeps - and so it hangs on the left side - where I sleep - and my fiancee is scared Im going to hurt myself waking up to pee or something in the morning cause Im short. We cant fit the bed to where its not hanging out on my end, cause then the matress is away from the wall and fiancee will probably roll off and hurt himself. What are we supposed to do? There is no possible way we could afford even the cheapest frame right now. We have to save the rest of what we have for rent and utilities and will be lucky if we have enough left.The twin/full notches are the same as the queen notches. I could take picture of the box if needed. Both the twin/full diagram and twin/full/queen diagram use Fig. B to show you exactly where the notches go. more

Resolved Question: do you think that if i get a spring futon mattress, it will be almost as good for your back as a normal bed?

first off, i am used to using a traditional spring bed, i am not into those fancy space age beds. the mattress i am getting is more expensive than the typical futon mattress. i used to sleep on a bed but decided to get a futon. my concern is that just because it feels comfortable when i tried it at the store , how will it be in the long run? i will get it in a couple of days and there is a 30 day return policy. i also picked the less expensive futon frame with the more expensive mattress, so i dont know if the cheap bed frame will cause discomfort. more

Voting Question: how to clean a futon mattress of cat dander?

My boyfriend is allergic to cats. We bought a futon and didn't realize the house had cats. I've vacuumed it and it's covered with a brand new sheet. I've sprayed with frebreeze as well. every time he lays on it he itches and starts sneezing for a bit. He won't have to sleep on it so it's not a huge deal but he has friends and family that are allergic as well. Does anyone have any extremely effective ways of getting this clean? I don't want to buy a new mattress. We got the futon for cheap so a new mattress wouldn't be worth it. Let me know any ideas. Thanks. more

Resolved Question: redoing my room for a cheap price?

I live in Minnesota and I want to re -do my room. I'm 13 year old girl and my room is really small so I was thinking of getting a convertible sofa. I thought that would be easier than a futon, since you don't have to buy the mattress and frame separately. I want to know where to get the cheapest one. I'm thinking about having a zebra theme, with maybe a zebra cover for the convertible sofa and a zebra lamp or chair. My carpet is a whitish- color, so i don't feel the need to replace that. but my walls are in need of a paint job and it's one of the things i need to do to re - do my room, so i want lime green walls, then 3 stripes going around all of the walls. the colors of the stripes would be blue, pink, and orange.I need a new lamp too. I have a window on one side of the room, and on the wall next to that there is a big desk that used to be attached to my bunk bed thing. I'm thinking of getting rid of that.I have a hot pink furry rug that I don't know what to do with, and two mattresses laying on the floor right now. but i'm getting rid of those. In my closet is this entertainment stand sort of thing where i keep most of my stuff. my room is really small so I want a convertible sofa to make more room . I wanted to know if anybody has some ideas for it and the biggest thing, WHERE CAN I GET ALL OF THIS FOR A CHEAP PRICE? more

Voting Question: help with decorating my room.?

okay so ignore my past questions that say i'm an interior designer or whatever, i'm not, it was my sister on my account (: anyway, everyone in my house is currently switching bedrooms, so i am painting mine white because i leave for college in less than a year & my mom wanted it a plain color so she can do whatever with it after i leave. so i'm trying to spice it up with as much decor as i can. things i need/want: -beaded curtains -string lights -futon cover -floor lamp the color theme of my room is lime green, turquoise & purple. i'm not anal about things HAVING to match, but i don't want like obnoxiously bright pink & yellow things just randomly sticking around. 10 points to the person who can find me the cheapest/most affordable things on my list (: here is a picture of my bedspread: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10877960 this is my loft bed that i have (not exactly the same, but you get the idea): http://www.furniturehomedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/storage-loft-bed.jpg ^the only difference with my bed from that one is that it is higher off the ground & it is open underneath the bed & on one side of the mattress! more

Resolved Question: Laid off and now what?

I have been laid off. Am single and have found a small part time job where I can earn no more than about $800/month. The place where I am staying I pay a rent of $700 which includes all utilities, food and laundry bills. I have a single room and shared facilities (bathroom, kitchen). I found a new place to live in where the rent is $500/month but food and cable is extra. It would include sharing a two bedroom place with a university student whom I do not know at all. Should I move into this new place ($500 rent) and save money or continue to live in my old place? I will also need to buy some furniture (table,2-3 chairs, futon, mattress) since the current place provides me with these facilities. I have no qualms about buying cheap second hand stuff on craigslist or Salvation Army. How much will all this cost? I will leave the town after 8-9 months and move to Europe where I will start a professional course. So that's the other thing to bear in mind while making my decision. Finally the living environment in my current place is getting very stressful with quarreling neighbours, noise etc. I feel depressed living here at times. What should I do? more

Resolved Question: Who sells foam mattress' (College students)?

Where can you go and buy those foam blocks that you can sleep on ? I think I remember they fold out. What stores sell them , were you can actually go in the store and buy them ? Need some type of mattress for under $50.00. The air mattress' are all over $50.00 the ones under all have bad reviews or do not come with the pump. I seen the Futon mattress' those are all over $200.00 , $200.00 for cloth and stuffing that is rolled off a machine , for that price it should be hand sewn. Any type of foam or cheap mattress that is twin or full size for around $50.00 ?And no used mattress'. Thanks more

Resolved Question: i have a question about a futon?

i am planing on getting a mail flex futon for my room, and i was reading the reviews and i saw that a lot of people said the wooden bars that support the mattress break/snap. so i was wondering if there was anyway that i could replace the wooden bars with metal ones( like i could just pick them up at home depot or have them specially made). so i was just wondering if there was anyway i could replace the cheap-looking wood bars with metal ones, to support the matress. PS here is a pic of the futon i want: http://www.target.com/Mali-Flex-Futon-Aqua-Polka/dp/B00266J87M/sr=1-19/qid=1244484260/ref=sr_1_19/179-7759925-5060130?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Amali%20flex%20futon&page=1 and also, for the people who have one, how is it? do you like it? more

Resolved Question: is there a web site for this?

i know, i'm cheap. i was wondering if there was a website where i could find mattresses and/or beds with minor defects that would be less expensive than buying one from the store. i don't know about the rest of you, but i don't see the point of spending $2000 on a bed when i live in a trailer house that didn't even cost that much lol. i'm just tired of sleeping on a futon... any suggestions? more

I dont need a carpenter - i am just looking for a way to get my bed off the ground. I have a futon mattress lying on the ground. It weighs about 60-75 lbs, I swear its packed with bricks.

College kids with some ghetto but successful ideas? websites and pictures are greatly appreicated. more

Resolved Question: How can I fix my livingroom? It looks like crap! Help!?

I decided to go with the main colors of tan, brown and olive in my livingroom. I want to get rid of my olive couch and get a fouton, but I want a neutral color for the futon mattress. I just don't want it to be *too* neutral, where everything looks muted. I feel like I have to many little figurines and it seems to clutter everything up, but I like them a lot and can't really think of how to re-arrange. I've got an olive and tan striped chair, small white table, olive couch, black tv stand, brown speakers, small brown wooden stand and brown coffee table...How can I do this without making it look like there's too much brown (the livingroom itself is brown and can't be painted)? I feel like the livingroom (although I want it to feel personal) is so much so that it makes it look like an eyesore. How can I fix this?? Are there any places to get cheaper home furnishings (aside from walmart/kmart/meijer)? more

Resolved Question: need to find cute chair for my room?

well im getting a new bed (pic= http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t132/PrincessHeidiNicole/yo.jpg ) and it has a cot sized removable futon thingy. the thing is, the mattress doesnt come with it and its $100 extra.

Voting Question: Question for guys on guy breaking up with me?

I met this guy L on an online dating site. We hit it off good, went on many dates. L is in the process of divorce which should have been a red flag to me but I just hit it off with him and figured it was minor. L treated me like a Queen. Great times and chemistry was so there. BTW, he has a 15 yr old son and I have 2 teens as well. So the last weekend together was awesome. 1. It got to the point of him deciding not use a condom because 'he is with someone (me) and doesn't plan on being with anyone else and trust that someone'. 2. He was going to hand the phone to me - which was his mom on the other line 3. He got upset and said he was going to buy a mattress cuz when I spent the nite that nite my back hurt on the cheap futon he had (ex took the nice bed). 4. He talked of the summer me jumping from his pool. 5. He met my kids and wanted to know how to please my bro to accept him since my bro is protective ...6.He went to my softball games and I went to his soccer games and we’d both get nervous of each other 7. His sis and best friends knew of me 8. We had a strong connection having so much in common. ...So when we started we both said 'go with the flow'. he called out that he didn't want a serious relationship and i too was not focused on that. i really just wanted to go with the flow. as you can tell, from all the numbers above things moved fast over 7 weeks. But after that last weekend, I didn't hear from him for 2 days which was odd because we were at a point where we at least texted each day. So Wed, OVER CHAT, he says "you know more that anyone my situation and the stuff i have to do for the next few months i really dont want to waste your time Chris i think is best to stop" (his situation is he is close to losing his house and needs to get a 2nd job to save it or find a financial solution for that AND he has a lot of divorce issues to deal with). ...And then later when I kept on asking him that I didn’t understand all of a sudden how this occurred he started getting impatient and also said that he wanted to focus on his son and him and didn’t have time to date. He acknowledged that what we had was real good but that ‘he had to’ end it. So that was 2 weeks ago and no communication since then until yesterday I emailed him on the results of a prego test (long story there full of stupid mistakes). I did not look for a reply at all so my intention was just to let him know as I had promised him that on the day we broke up that I would contact him with results. So… How could a guy end something so good? Do I wait? Is this a phase he is going through with all the stress in his life??? Help please.**Responses - I am not pregnant and the pregancy thing came up after the breakup talk started from him. I want to add that he lead a lot of the leading on actions (meeting kids, family talks, games). I honestly was going with the flow and he apologized too on what he had already put me through. Is he genuine in why he left? Can I say that he does have a lot to deal with and when he is 'better' might contact me missing the 'good' thing we had? more

Resolved Question: Memory Foam Mattress Top, is this a good Deal?

Right now I am sleeping on a futon with my boyfriend. We are both in our senior year at college, and needless to say, we don't have a lot of extra money. We went mattress shopping at the beginning of the semester but everything is so expensive, it was pretty overwhelming. I don't want to buy a cheap mattress because I know I will have it for years, but I can't imagine buying a $1300 mattress right now (even with the payment options... I just dont want to deal with that). So as a temporary solution (We will only be living where we are with this "bed" until May), I thought we should buy a memory foam topper, just to make our "bed" a little more comfortable. I found a 2" Memory foam topper (comes with 2 pillows also) from Overstock.com (free shipping, yay!) http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Serta-2-inch-Memory-Foam-Topper-with-Contour-Pillows/2653495/product.html Do you think this is a good deal, or what else should I do!? Thanks more
