“Futon” is an English derivative term of a Japanese word of the same spelling.    A futon is the general term used to refer to Japanese beddings which consist of a padded mattress and thick quilts made of cotton, wool or polyester.   Futons can be easily folded or rolled to be stored away when no one is a sleeping.   This allows for the space previously occupied by a futon to be used for other activities during the day.   It is still popular in Japan today.

In western cultures, there is a different version of a futon.   A “western futon” consists of the same pliable mattress which is placed on top of a metal or wooden frame and has the dual function of a bed and a couch.  Western futons would usually fold in the middle to easily convert them to a couch.  They also flatten out to turn into a bed.   This is the reason behind western futons being thicker and larger than their Japanese counterparts The duality of function has made western futons as the alternative furniture to the modern home because it saves space.

A bunk bed is one type of bed and can be simply described as having one bed frame stacked on top of another.    Similar to the western futon, bunk beds can be made of wood or metal frames and were designed to allow at least two people to sleep in the same room while having separate beds.  A bunk bed is another good example of a space – saving furniture.
