When it comes to saving space in your home, furniture is one of the first things people look at. Furniture items are obviously bulky products so it is worth bearing this in mind when it comes to purchasing new furniture for your home.

Some of the most common items that can be more compact are those which you do not need to have available all the time. Many people choose to have folding dining tables for instance, as these can just be put up to full size for mealtimes and folded away for the rest of the time. Small things such as this can really make a difference to the look and feel of your home.

Guest beds are also another factor which should be considered carefully. Many people feel the need for double beds in all their spare rooms due to the amount of family and friends that stay over, however this is not always practical. For starters, many homes do have a smaller bedroom which can often look cramped with a double bed in it.

The other factor is space itself. A lot of home owners depend on their spare rooms for other uses, whether it is an office space or additional storage, making double beds an unfeasible option. A great solution to both these problems is to invest in double futons, as these give you the best of both worlds.

At Beds Direct our range of double futons covers anything from metal to wooden futons, all of which are super stylish and have various fabric choices, meaning they will fit in with your other decor. Most of our double futons do not look obviously like a spare double bed, making them ideal for slotting into any spare room space or even a living area if need be.
