Our take on the Mainstays 73 in Storage Futon

The Mainstays 73 in Storage Futon is a fabric sofa that folds flat into a bed and hides a storage compartment under the seat. The back reclines fully, so it moves from upright seating to sleep mode in one motion. A solid wood frame and padded cushions give it a sturdier feel than most budget futons. It suits small apartments, guest rooms and dorms where one piece has to seat, sleep and store. Against plain convertibles, the built-in storage is the real differentiator; against larger sleeper sofas, it is smaller and lighter but offers less seating room.
