Cheap Futon Bunk Bed

Here would be my warning about buying a cheap futon bunk bed. I once purchase a futon bed that converted into a sofa. I'm presuming that this is what you might be looking for when buying a futon bunk bed, a flat futon bed on top and a futon bed below that folds up into a sofa? Well it looked great in the pictures and indeed pretty damn good when I got it home, but after a few weeks, when the futon mattress had softened up a bit, things started to go wrong.

Basically once the bed was converted into a sofa the back of the futon, where you would rest your back, started to slide and shift downwards every time I got up or sat down. I was constantly having to pull the futon back up so that the back rest was vertical. This was a real pain as I didn't like the look of the sofa when the futon had slipped down and I didn't much enjoy the effort of pulling it back up all the time. Anyone who has had a futon will know that they're a bit of a dead weight. So be careful what you purchase, make sure the cheap price doesn't mean lousy quality.
