What does FUTON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thin, padded mattress that can be folded or rolled up, originally used in Japan and now also common as a folding sofa bed in Western homes.
In Japan, this kind of mattress is traditionally laid directly on a tatami mat at night and stored away in a closet during the day, keeping a small room flexible for other uses. Western manufacturers later built a frame around the idea that folds between a sofa and a bed, so a futon in many households now refers to the whole convertible piece of furniture rather than just the mattress. Because it takes up less permanent space than a full bed frame, it remains popular in small apartments, guest rooms, and student housing.
