As a futon novice, I was grateful to receive some great advice from Futons247 about the best futon mattress for my needs. Based on this, I ordered the traditional 8 layer, and the scandi base, and the whole process was straightforward and supported by Peter when I had any queries. The futon arrived in good time and on the promised delivery day, and I was kept up to date by the carrier. The bed is clearly well made and beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with it or the buying experience. This kind of personal service or craftsmanship is rare, and I'd recommend this company and its products to everyone

We absolutely love our Domo click clack sofa. Measurements and descriptions were accurate which was important as we needed to fit it into a small space. This sofa has great storage within its base.
Moreover, we are very pleased with the personalised service that Peter Farrow at Futons 247 provided. We live a fair distance from this Futon Shop, almost on the other side of the country but amidst the chaos of the pandemic and Brexit he was always contactable and kept us up to date with manufacturing and delivery. Thank you so much, top quality service.

Thank you so much for our wonderful futon. It fits perfectly in our campervan and is really very comfy. Very excited to have it on our adventures. After speaking to Peter at the Futon Shop, he was able to create a bespoke size to fit into our space. Everything about the futon is of such high quality and has clearly been made to last. Thank you once again, we love it!

Single Monk Futon/Folding Tatami Mat/ Mattress Protector
It took me a year to finally take the plunge and buy an authentic futon mattress. Peter was extremely helpful and patient answering all of my questions and helping me to decide if futon Sleeping was for me. I did a lot of research into the huge variety and quality of futons on the market. I chose to go with Futons247 not only for the excellent customer service, but because I knew the mattress was made in line with UK fire regulations and was made with quality materials. I also purchased a folding tatami mat and mattress protector.
