what are the advantages and disadvantages of futons?

are they comfortable enough to sleep on everynight

I love futons because they allow others a nice bed to sleep over in but the arms and legs are either made of wood or metal and are hard. Also you can dress a futon up as much as you want but it will never look as nice as a couch. I would go for a futon if you're looking for something cheap and economic but if you can afford a couch then go for that.

Should you buy sofas from charity shops?

Should you buy sofas from charity shops? I saw some sofas in local charity shops, but my friends don't like the idea of buying. It seems too cheap.

What about you?

Well, i wouldnt, its not about the prices, its about who & what has been on the sofa, you just dont know! For example, if you had a bad alerigic reaction to dog hair, and say a dalmation had been lounging on it well, thats trigered your alergies, BUT you culd buy it take it home, remove the covers and wash them, but its up to you.

Personaly i would'nt but like i said, its up to you.

Hope this helps and good luck in you sofa hunting!
