I recently transformed a small bedroom into a home office, sitting room and spare guest room. The process required very little ingenuity, it all boiled down to finding the right items. Many of which I already owned. However, since the room is meant to perform triple duty it was essential that I find the right seating.
Dorel Home Products, aka DHP, has the best selection of futons, day beds and other functional furniture at extremely competitive prices. There were quite a few pieces from DHP that I really liked, so choosing was a bit challenging, but a lot of fun. I went with the very versatile Euro Futon which works perfectly for the small space.

Euro Futon with Magazine Storage |
I absolutely love this futon! As you can see from the image above, the arm rests fold at different angles. This is not only great for creating extra seating and sleeping, it's also ideal for comfort in that I'm able to position the arm rest at the right angle if I'm watching TV or reading. Thus, it can also functions as a chaise lounger, the back cushion can be removed to create that look. Talk about versatility.
The futon is offered in either black or grey. I opted for the grey and it's actually more like a taupe. It has both elements of grey and brown, so you can opt to bring out the grey or a warmer hue.
Assembly was easy. Just add the legs and the back bar. Everything I needed; the legs, back bar and tools, were contained in the futon with a velcro enclosure.
Is it comfortable?
It's what I would call firm comfort. I'm an average size female and I sit, lay and nap on this all the time and I'm perfectly comfortable. With that said, it's not designed for permanent sleeping. For a guest it's serves its purpose wonderfully. It sits three average size adults comfortably. The weight limit is four hundred pounds.
Euro Futon measurements:
Height:32"
Width:56"Depth:30"
Weight:63.94 lbs
I can see this futon working in so many different settings. such as extra seating in a master bedroom, kids' room, family room, etc. This piece enabled me to turn a small room into a very functional home office, sitting room and guest room. The futon is so unobtrusive, it's as if it were designed specifically for a small space. It's light and airy and really makes the small space appear larger.
As I mentioned, Dorel Home Products offers a really nice selection of functional furniture along with beds. They consistently receive high ratings and have a high customer satisfaction. The prices are phenomenal. You can find their products just about anywhere, including Walmart, Kmart

I really love the selection of products they offer on there site, great home décor pieces and very affordable prices when your on a budget.
I love the looks of the futon. It doesn't look like your typical futon that is made for "college students". It's too bad that this isn't more grey, I'd love it even more.
Futons are so versatile. We have a giant sleeper sofa in our office/guest room. A futon would have been a much sleeker choice.
I love futons, there handy in guest rooms.
I love the style of this Euro Futon! It's different and very nice.

I would like this for my apartment next year.
this is fantastic! i love that you can use it for multiple things. I often have people staying over, so that would be great too.
What a great piece of furniture. I love that it plays the part of a couch, and the arms can fold down too for a lounger/bed. Really cute.
I have been looking for new furniture to fill my living room!
I think this is a great idea!!
This looks really nice!
I love the style of the futon!

I could definitely use this. Thanks for such a great giveaway!
This would look great in my living room
This would be wonderful to win. I love the sleek style. THank you
Wow, I'd love to have this! I like how you can put the sides down.
I have huge, old furniture pieces and hope to replace them all eventually with something sleek, smaller yet still functional and comfy.
thats really cool how it transforms like that. ive been looking for a smaller couch/ futon
I love the look of it, it is definitely European in look.
I really like the futon as a versatile piece for living or bedrooms.
I can think of a couple of places in my home where this futon could be used. Nice description.
I could use a futon so I'd have a place for the grandchildren to sleep when they come to visit

I've always thought futons were the coolest--but this one definitely tops the candy-colored ones I begged my parents for when I was a teenager. This would be a perfect addition to our living room.
mandaenjoy(at)gmail(dot)com
Since we made our guest room into a child's room for our grandson, having a futon for guests would be great.
This looks pretty stylish. Something to consider for our home.
I like this..so versatile! I think this would be perfect in our home office.
I also wonder- just how soft is it? I have known futons to be SO hard... "cotton" stuffed.. you may as well sit on a hard chair as those. Sleep on it? never ever. A futon made with foam cushions.. now that would be the ticket. I could use a thing like this in my room, I retreat there to watch TV sometimes, get away from the endless sports the hubby watches.
I've been looking for a solution for our small office/craft room/guest room. This futon would fit perfectly. I like its neutral color.
the furniture is absolutely gorgeous :)
My daughter would love this! She's a college student & will be getting her 1st apartment this fall.
This looks really nice!
This would be great for college kids
I just moved to LA and my boyfriend and I have no furniture for our little itty bitty studio and this is the perfect size!
This would be great in my guest room.
I love that this futon has sides! That would be great for reading or relaxing!
We have been considering a futon for our spare bedroom/office and this one would be perfect! The color matches the theme of the room and it looks quite comfy!

Very well thought out.

sherri crawford
love the features of this futon
arms that fold down and a mag holder awesome
i think i could fall asleep on this thing..looks cool
I think the furniture is a chic design and comfy
This is like an updated version of the chaise lounge type couches they used to have in old movies...i LOVED them, always wanted one. I'd keep one arm down for that same look.
Great versatility!
Futons are the best they tend to be very comfy.
Looks like an amazing Futon
I would love to have this for our spare room. It is so much nicer than the old type of futon.
I need a futon for my guest room. This would be perfect for when we have company over!
Carly D.
I really like this Futon and would put it in our den. We need more seating in there and this looks really comfy.
This would be nice for the sleepovers
Striking, modern, functional and most importantly to me, it doesn't take up too much space like my current futon.
I love versatile furniture pieces! This could work in so many rooms
We really need something like this for our house!! Always needing extra room for guests!!
This would be great for our game room! Our old one is about ready to be tossed.
Futons are the PERFECT gift for College Kids -- doesn't take up a lot of room and serves a dual purpose: sofa or extra bed!
Love this futon for the office and guest room area.
This would be perfect for Hubz' home office! It is basically an empty room with a desk, desk chair, and dresser. It really needs a great sitting space.
Mary Beth Elderton
I think the Dorel products are great. A Futon in grey is functional and could go just about anywhere. The price is right too.
This would add so much class and comfort to my living room. Gorgeous!

futons come in handy for guests.
The article on the area rugs is dead on! You can change the look and feel of any area in the house by just buying or switching a rug! It is inexpensive and effective!
Love the easy look of this furniture! I would much rather have a futon than have an air mattress that i have to store.
Wow....that is one stylish, classic futon. I would love to have that in my living room....great piece.
This would be great for our house. We don't have a computer room, not a "guest bedroom", but my mother in law is supposed to be staying with us for a couple weeks this summer. I don't want want to get a giant bed we don't really need, and I would feel bad having her sleep on an air mattress. This looks like the perfect solution
I really like that it can also function as a chaise lounger
I love the way the sides can go down, and the magazine storage area is a big plus as well. My daughter would love this for her room, I can see her using it with one side down and lounging on it while playing video games, watching TV or reading magazines.
This would add much needed seating to our living room. And I love how versatile it is.
I like the looks of this futon/sofa. It has a great retro vibe.
The chaise option is the selling point for me, I can already visualize me basking in the sun, flipping through a magazine with my feet up on the chaise loving life!
This futon would be lovely in our playroom! We often have our college-aged nephew visit, so he could also use it as a guest room.
We have been shopping for a futon for our game room. I love the style and design options. Got to forward this to my husband.
I love the look of this chair. It don't look like it takes up much space which is great.
Have been thinking of adding a futon to our home. Love the pockets.
This would be way less mess making prone than the pillow covered couch my kids use now.
This Euro Futon is awesome and would be perfect for my 2nd bedroom to serve as a couch/sofa as well as sleeping for company.
This would be so cool for our camp!
I love this style chair! It's different!
This futon looks awesome. I love furniture that has more than one use and purpose. I'm hoping to move soon and have no furniture so this would be amazing.

I love this futon, it is a neutral color and would be a great place for a guest to sleep. I love that the sides fold up and down and especially love the chaise feature.
I love the sleek styling
This is such a cute classy futon. It would look so cute right by a window in the corner of my living room.
How pretty! This would be great for a guest room :)
I love this futon I am one that likes to change up and rearrange alot so it is very much something I would buy

This futon looks way better than most. i wonder if it comes in different colors?

What a great idea! I have never seen a chair like this and it would be so perfect in our spare room as we do not have anything in it yet. I am so in love!
This would be a great futon for my Very small apartment-cute and smart!
As a writer, I spend a lot of time in my home office and Futon like this one would be so perfect. Often I just need to lie down and either take a little nap or relax and think. And it's nice to get away from my desk and computer screen ~ I like to read off of actual PAPER in a relaxing position. A regular couch wouldn't fit nor look appropos with the rest of the room. Thanks for the the review. I am definitely going to look into this.
Jesselyn A/Jesstinger
We have purchased many futons over the years. This is much more functional than the ones we've had.
Thanks for the chance.
i love that you can adjust it to different ways
This looks way better than what you think of a futon. Love the style!
I think this would work well in a game room, and to be used for any extra bed occasionally.
This futon looks stylish and functional! I know just the room I would put this in! It's gorgeous!
I've always wanted a futon. My neighbors had one in college and it was surprisingly comfortable.
We are in the process of redoing a room in the basement for our teenage son. I think he would like to have a futon in his room.
We just finished our basement, and our daughter is moving downstairs. I'd love to add a futon to her room for when she has sleepovers with friends! It would be perfect!
Sure could use this looking for something you can sit on and when I have over night guest can sleep on it to .
I love that this futon is so versatile. So many different ways to use it/set it up.
This futon looks comfortable and I like all the options to convert it how I would like if I change my mind and won't it to function a different way. It appears to be made well with great structure and fabric.
Jeana O'donnell-Murphy
Futons are an inexpensive way to spruce up a small space without making it look cheap.
My husband and I are looking for a new home, most in our price range are unfurnished, however. We could use a Futon like this one.
This would be perfect to replace our much-used love seat. I love the various ways you can use it.
This futon looks so comfy and modern! I love it!
Thank you for having your blog. You offer a lot of great information.
I can't wait to move so I have an office to set up like this! As we already have some other furniture and pillows etc to accessorize in grey, the grey futon would be perfect. Even my picky husband said it looked cool. Very nice choice!
I really like the arm rests are adjustable!
adrianecoros(at)gmail(dot)com
See, I love nice furniture like this, but I have three cats. So, I wind up liking furniture that exists somewhere under a blanket of fur. I wouldn't trade them for the world, through. =)
This futon would look great in my family room.
This would go great in my room!
Oh wow! That's such a cool futon! Love how adjustable it is!
