When you’re looking for extra comfort in a stylish design for your futon frame, a sleigh arm can offer some additional support and a unique look. Sleigh arm futon frames are designed to curve outward, and serve as an extra area to lean against, prop up a pillow, and also provide extra comfort. They add some distinct lines to the overall look of your futon frame, and can transform the style and overall ambiance of your living space into a ‘softer’ style.
Key Benefits of a Sleigh Arm Futon
Key reasons to choose a sleigh arm futon include:
- No sharp edges to knock your arm or elbow. This is especially important for family rooms and living areas where young kids are using the furniture on a regular basis
- Extra comfort for tall people. The ‘ledge’ can serve as a comfortable rest for feet to rest upon, and makes it easier to lie down comfortably for extended periods of time
- More space for a pillow. It’s easy to prop up a few pillows or cushions to the edge of the futon, and lean against it comfortably.
- Smoother design. If you’re looking for softer edges for your living space, the sleigh arm futon is designed with a ‘soft design’ instead of sharper, straight-cut edges of standard futon frames
Examples of Sleigh Futon Frames
The Sleigh Futon Frame is designed with wooden slats and offers three adjustable positions. You’ll notice the sleigh arm on this one runs all the way from the back of the frame, and curves outward for a distinct look. This frame is designed with a patented front-loading operation system, and you have an option to add drawers for additional storage if needed.
The Renoir Futon Frame is another great choice for sleigh futons. It’s a popular design that is both comfortable and versatile; it’s available in a light beechwood finish, and also features a front load operation system that makes it simple to convert it from a sofa into a bed.
The Venice Futon Frame is made with a rich wood finish and offers an elegant touch to any room. If you’re looking for a little more sophistication, the Venice is a great match; it’s made with plantation-grown hardwood materials, and the sleigh arm is also 100% hardwood. Drawers are available, and these can roll right under the futon frame for easy storage.
