Unlike a sleeper sofa, a futon is a lighter piece of furniture that goes from seating to sleeping in no time. These multitaskers became popular in the 1970s but the futon couch history goes back to ancient Japan. Its origin started with the humble tatami, a rice straw mat covered with woven grass, that was often used as a sleeping pad. What we know as Japanese futons are also called shikifuton, a mattress meant to be rolled up or stored away during the day.
