Futon Company

Ok, I love a place that provides clever furniture for stupidly small flats because not many people do it. They have thought of most bedroom things — which is great — and I’d love to see living room solutions too… That would be my only criticism.
Prices are very reasonable. They always have sales and offers and the quality of the items is very good.
I asked for my stuff to be delivered as I don’t have a car and that was done through an external company, coordinated by the Futon Company. It arrived without a hitch and a lot of the stuff is flat packed — which I loathe — but those pieces are so handy, I’ll do it with a smile, a glass of wine and a good Indie sound track.
This is a great little business!

It a good shop to browse. When you have just moved into a new flat and you want to avoid the monotony of cheap IKEA furniture (which may fall a part as fast as thunder) the Futon Company can be your next best option. There is a genuine difference in quality of the wood, hence the price. The most important thing for a good night sleep is a good mattress. Don’t bother buying it here, there are decent ones and when you try them for a few minutes they are fine, but for a whole week (at my friend’s house) they are not. However, two things I would recommend from here are:
1. A mattress topper. What? For £55 this will make a difference between a sumptuous good night sleep or a toss and turn ‘sleep’ They give that extra spring.
2. A bean bag. Lovely to sit on, play about with you daughter and many other uses, be creative! Although the colours are quite limited (chocolate and beige) change their look with an exciting throw.
However, if you are looking for furniture that is not mass produced look somewhere else.
