Futon Mattreses

Futon mattreses now come in a wide variety of qualities and comfort levels. I've seen them from $100 to over $1500. Just for the mattress.

And they aren't just lumpy old cotton mattreses anymore. You can actually get futon mattreses with inner springs. I've even seen one that was latex. So they're really starting to make them much better than the old days.

But it's hard to justify spending so much money on a futon mattres when you could get a real mattres for the same price or less. If you're main concern is with space and you want your sofa and your bed to take up the same space, then I can understand. But otherwise, it seems like getting a regular bed might be better for the money.
