A couch or sofa is a big purchase that’s going to stick with you for years to come. For 20-something’s that are constantly on the go (either for college or work), now might not be the right time to invest in a fancy sofa. But, good news, there’s actually a better option, a futon. Futons don’t just have to be a smelly place to rest your head when you’ve had a few too many at the bar, they can actually be stylish and sophisticated. And even better news, Amazon has some of the best futons on the market for a lower price than anywhere else — yay!
No matter your budget or living situation, there’s a futon out there that’s calling your name. You’ll be praised among your friends when they come visit and have a comfy place to sit to watch your favorite TV shows. Check out ESL’s favorite picks for the best futons — I call dibs on the Divano Roma Modern.
