I have a metal futon frame with a 10 inch thick matress, and I love it! I use it as a bed, and when needed, a couch. Then later on when I'm out of college and get a new bed, I can use the futon as my couch. Due to the cost of futons in comparison to beds, along with my expeirince with one, I recommend the futon. You can get some really good deals on them if you go somewhere that specializes in real futons. Don't go to the discount places... some of them call a one or two inch thick futon pad a matress, and the frames some of those places sell are too weak to hold a real futon matress.
