Let's jump right into this list with a few quick reviews of some different styles of futons which will include metal and wood frames with rustic to contemporary designs.

This is the Futon with the lowest Price Tag. The Evolution Futon frame is very cheap compared to the other models but it has a futurist styling most others lack. The Evolution Futon is made with a light weight pewter or black frame. But just because its light weight doesn't mean it can't hold its weight. Assembled correctly this futon frame can hold a lot of weight. The part you sit on has bars spaced about 6 inches which can be felt on a thin or cheap futon mattress. Its best to get at least a 6+ inch mattress for maximum comfort.  American Furniture Alliance Evolution Futon Frame
 Is a great investment for people looking for a good quality Futon setup but don't want to break the bank.

The second cheapest futon frame on my list is the Silver Finish Metal Futon Frame by Coaster. It has a similar futuristic styling to that of the previous futon frame. I prefer this one for about the price. I really like the front end styling with the legs, but you side arms are sacrificed. Which the first futon on my list had arms that were rounded, its not like you can put your coffee on it anyways. This Silver Finish Metal Futon Frame has wooden slats underneath where you sit, which are designed to help the futon mattress from slipping and sliding out from under you. For the price this futon frame is a steal. Definitely worth it's price.

Just beyond $200 you can get a solid wooden futon frame, with a seductive espresso color. Very clean styling with a reasonable price tag. Makes it even better knowing you can get free shipping on this futon frame. The wooden futon frame itself weighs quite a bit and is built similarly to the first futon frame listed, The Evolution Futon Frame. Metal bars underneath your seat, so make sure get that thick futon mattress. It has nicely positions metal handles that prevent the futon mattress from sliding out from under you, and provide easy handles for when you want to turn your couch into a full size bed. If you don't like the metal futon looks, this is your cheapest futon frame option. One of my family members owns this style and they love it, they have owned it for about 6 years now.

Sexy Leather anyone? I am a sucker for leather, specially when its faux tufted leather. It just has this executive high class, uber luxury look to it. This Futon needs no mattress so no worries in extra cost in that department. This particular Luxury Futon has 2 separate backs parts which allows half of it to sit like a couch while the other half lays down flat like a conventional futon. These are some pretty cool features if you have another person on your futon. Easy to set up, easy to clean, easily impresses guests. A little slice of luxury with out the Luxury size price tag. 

The most comfortable futon on the market. Hands down. Nothing is better then a soft microfiber mattress cover. Pair that with its' plush mattress and a stylish design. Easily justifies the bigger price tag. Even so, if you look else where you can find this one selling for as low as $368 on Amazon. Which is such a bargain for the most comfortable futon ever! Check this one out, for a full sized bed/couch and its functionality makes this an easy buy  in my eyes. I can't think of a better futon to purchase then this one. I simply can't praise this one enough. Even for $500 I'm sold. 

The most expensive full sized futon on my list. It's rustic wooden log design gives it a unique feel. The bottom part where you sit is actually metal for a easy conversion from sofa to sleeper. This particular futon comes with a futon mattress as well. The futon mattress is a full sized innerspring mattress made with natural blended cotton. This looks more like a regular sofa then the other futons on the list. So if that was the idea, this could be a perfect fit for you! Its high price tag breaks down nicely considering it comes with a high quality futon mattress, and a *BONUS* of 2 extra pillows.

The first thing that always enters my mind when out shopping for Furniture is PRICE. What is the price of this Futon? Call me frugal, but I always end up sacrificing a little slice of comfort for a little extra money in my wallet.

Some key points you may look for in purchasing a new futon

Price: How much are you willing to spend on a futon?

• $100 - $200 (most metal futons frames fall into this category)
• $200 - $300 ( can get some good cheaper sets. Metal and wooden but most are just futon frames)
• $300 - $400 ( this is about how much you spend for a good futon + mattress )
• $400+ ( Comfort + style + futon frame and quality mattress )

Comfort: What do you want your futon to feel like?

• Leather ( Not so soft. rather firm. But some people prefer that.)
• Cloth ( Soft, but has a generic feeling to it. Do you really want to blend in with everyone one else? )

Style: What kind of look do you want your futon to have?
Are you looking for contemporary styling or something more rustic? Metal or wood?

Purpose: What is your futon going to be used for. This is usually my deciding factor for the above options, besides price

Are there going to be people sleeping on this often? Wouldn't they rather have something more comfortable? A thick mattress with a soft cover ?

50/50 Couch/sleeper The ideal thing for young adults, college students or small apartment dwellers. Multi-purposeful furniture. Crash when needed, quick fix for guests when someone shows up, and easily convertible back to couch for long hours of studying, watching TV, video games or reading.

The almost permanent couch that is mostly for looks. Reminds me of the sofas you see in an executives office. 90% couch time with the occasional nap doesn't require the softest materials but will require a nice look.
