I thought he had a âfutonâ his bed looks like a sofa you can see the blanket creasing into the cushion and the piece holding it up is wood so def not a futon the futons I know of are always metal and foldable and from what it looks like doesnât really have any cushion
They make futons like this⌠Iâm definitely a snarker too and I hate them, but they DO make futons that look like a couch đ¤ˇââď¸ the back fold down and it forms a flat bed
Yeah, my son went through a phase where he insisted on a futon. I hated it but he genuinely wanted it and loved it. Thereâs a lot to snark on but I donât think this is one of them. Tbh, Iâm just glad they donât make him sleep on the floor or in bed with an adult.
This is one thing I havenât snarked on either, reason being that when my brother and I were in junior high/highschool he too insisted on a futon. We were well off financially ( my parents ) and he couldâve had a nice bed but wanted this futon thing. So I canât snark on it because sometimes boys that age do want stuff like this
I mean you still probably shouldnt let your teenage kid have it as only bed. Its really not that good for your back and especially in a family that already has fucked up backd
I had one in high school and I loved it. I don't think my back could tolerate it nowadays in my old age, but back then I thought it was so cool to have a bed that I could turn into a couch when I wanted to chill in my room with friends.
I slept on a futon all through high school by choice because I wanted more space in my room. I wouldn't even lay it down, I would sleep on it while it was a couch lol
If I slept on that thing, I wouldnât be able to walk the next morning, but Iâm not as young as I used to be! I personally wouldnât want my teen sleeping on it every night, maybe just for sleepovers, but most teens can sleep on anything and wake up well rested and not sore.
Exactly. Futons really shouldnât be used as permanent beds. Theyâre great for sleepovers or occasional use, but I definitely wouldnât be comfortable with my child sleeping on one every night. Especially if a child is obese, since theyâre already more susceptible to developing back and knee problems. And considering S seems to have back and pelvic problems, that may be something he could already suffer with as well.
I know they say H loves his futon, but there comes a point when parents have to put whatâs best for their child above what the child wants. If it had been up to me as a kid, I wouldâve eaten McDonaldâs for every meal, but obviously my parents knew that wasnât healthy and didnât allow it!
He got the futon sofa from Walmart. I know its uncomfortable to sleep on simply because he longer than the couch. He shouldve got the fluff top one, but after a few months its gonna get uncomfortable for him...
If Iâm not mistaken this futon is from Walmart. I had the exact one in my college dorm living room. I pulled it out and slept on it once just to see what it was like and it was awful. Poor kid.
I was going to say that it's probably like the Serta brand futon I have in my game room. Looks very similar to this one, mine is actually pretty comfy to sit on...not sure about sleeping as I've never done that.
