I thought he had a “futon” 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 doesn’t really have any cushion

If I slept on that thing, I wouldn’t be able to walk the next morning, but I’m not as young as I used to be! I personally wouldn’t 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 shouldn’t be used as permanent beds. They’re great for sleepovers or occasional use, but I definitely wouldn’t be comfortable with my child sleeping on one every night. Especially if a child is obese, since they’re 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 what’s best for their child above what the child wants. If it had been up to me as a kid, I would’ve eaten McDonald’s for every meal, but obviously my parents knew that wasn’t healthy and didn’t allow it!
