As time passed, futon mattress makers began to see the potential of the futon frame as a new design alternative to the conventional sofa bed. Although a multitude of frame types and styles now exist, in the early days it was the team of Irv Wieder and William Brouwer who developed the first convertible futon frames. The convertible futon frame has made the North American industry what it is today. The development and growth of the frame market is the heart of futon history. Early on, simple frames that looked like shipping pallets worked well for college students. Unfortunately, this type of product has created a lasting negative impression of the futon, which has been difficult to shake. The advent of the Brouwer bed by William Brouwer was an entirely American idea. The frame was made to fold the futon into a sofa, and has a simple design. (see picture top right). The sofa can then be converted into a bed. The mattresses were still made out of high loft linter cotton. The Brouwer bed was initially a high end product targeted to an elite clientele.
But other manufacturers saw the potential for the potential customers looking for a low budget solution to their furniture. The early budget futons were of very little quality. As the industry matured, manufacturers developed many beautiful hardwood frame designs. These products helped the futon industry make major inroads toward the traditional home furnishings market and also toward true legitimacy as a product category. A second major development occurred in 1985 with the creation of the T.H.I.S. frame by Ron Massey. Massey developed his frame to hinge along the length of the mattress at the request of a Canadian consumer for whom he was making non-converting futon frames. This development was a major advance and probably was the single most important factor in jumpstarting the growth that followed. (Ron Massey is still making solid wood frames. His company is called Horndove.) Another addition to the market arrived in 1987. Nippon, a Danish company, introduced the first all-metal convertible futon frame with a sturdy all metal mechanism.
Many other companies have developed metal frames with metal mechanisms and solid wood frames with metal mechanisms as well. The frame was also incorporated into a bunk bed configuration. The bottom bunk is a full sized futon that doubles as a sofa during the day and a full-sized bed at night.

For research bias, see FUTON bias. Japanese-style futons laid out for sleeping A futon (布団?) is traditional Japanese bedding comprising a quilted mattress that is usually laid on the floor. A bedding set consists of both a mattress (敷き布団 shikibuton?, lit. "spreading futon") and a duvet (掛け布団 kakebuton?, lit. "covering futon"), although the word "futon" is also used to refer specifically to the mattress. Both elements of a futon bedding set are pliable enough to be folded and stored away during the day, allowing the room to serve for purposes other than as a bedroom. Western-style futons, which typically resemble low, wooden sofa beds, differ substantially from their Japanese counterparts. Originally written as "蒲団" (futon; lit. "cattail" + "round"), the word "futon" originally referred to a round cushion filled with cattail leaves. Today, futons are generally filled with cotton, and the character "布" (fu; lit. "cloth") is now generally used as ateji in place of "蒲" (fu; lit.
A Japanese futon is a thin mattress with a fabric exterior stuffed with cotton, wool, or synthetic batting. Futons are sold in Japan at specialty stores called futon'ya (布団屋?) as well as at department stores. They are often sold in sets that include the mattress and the duvet. Other usual bedding items include a blanket (毛布 mōfu?), a taoruketto (タオルケット?, a summer blanket resembling a large towel), and a pillow (枕 makura?) generally filled with beans, buckwheat chaff, or plastic beads.[] Futons are designed to be placed on tatami flooring, and are traditionally folded away and stored in a closet during the day to allow the tatami to breathe and to allow for flexibility in the use of the room. Futons must be aired in sunlight regularly, especially if not put away during the day. In addition, many Japanese beat their futons regularly with a futon beater (布団叩き futon-tataki?) to prevent the padding from matting. A futon-beater is a special instrument, traditionally made from bamboo, which resembles a Western carpet beater.
