Futon sofa/bed……?

I want a new temporary (1-2years) bed and was wondering if a futon would be a good idea or do they wear down easily? bad for you back???

He, as the person stated before me, if you get a cheap futon and a cheap matrress, yes, it will be uncomfortable since they are usually held up with a metal bar frame under the mattress. HOWEVER, if you get one that is supported by a wooden frame, then you wont have that issue. I might suggest IKEA, they have great frames and nice mattessses that will NOT cost you a fortune.

I've included a link to the IKEA website that might help you out….

where can i find cheep futons with the mattress on them besides eBay.?

What about the hallways of malls, I've seen them there, not the cheapest futons, but not a bad price and fairly good quality.
