* Note: The size designations of "single," "queen," etc. are not the same dimensions as those in the U.S. Please make sure you take special note of the dimensions to make sure they're a good fit for you and you're not surprised when your futon arrives. It might be helpful to use a tape measure and fold out a flat bed sheet to the dimensions of the futon you intend to buy. This will help you visualize the size much more accurately.
IMPORTANT: Especially when your futon first arrives it will likely be a little smaller than the dimensions shown above. During the vacuum-packing and shipping process your futon gets compressed and shrinks roughly as much as 10 cm (about 4 inches). However, after hanging and regular use, your futon will fairly quickly return to the original manufactured dimensions. Also, to correctly measure your futon, due to the construction of traditional futon, the sides tend to curve in at the center, so you can only correctly measure it from the corners.
