Glad to see the shout-out to Futon d'or. I needed a sofa-bed some months ago and ended up buying one from them - a big draw for me is that both the frame and the mattress were locally made, with the mattress being made by a company on-island and the frame coming from a small company in Sherbrooke. I considered buying something from Wayfair, but for something where the mattress was actually replaceable and not affixed directly onto the body (read: disposible) Wayfair was about the same price, not to mention probably lower quality and manufactured who knows where. Support your local businesses folks!
I saw the thumbnail and thought, wtf is going on with Paige. What is interesting about futons??! Now I understand, you made me completely rethink the whole bedroom situation. Actually so much room to be gained. Now I need to research good futons and also try and convince my partner about it lol.
I have a sofa-style futon in my Montréal studio apartment. I prefer it because (as you mentioned) it's a lot nicer to have a real bed when you have someone over, but mostly because I'm not on the floor with the mice, which are common in these old buildings. There's a reason why people go for raised beds! That futon stuffing being misshapen material scraps was heinous though 😅
I studied Japanese and I have been so confused as to how these futons have 2 different variants thanks for the video! And personally I initially thought as a futon as the Japanese one not the couch thing…
Another great and insightful video🎉 great food for thought. The only problem with having a mattress on the floor are cold drafts in winter…and make sure you have no mice😂
Even though I don't have bug issues in my building, I'm still very paranoid about sleeping on the floor. I knew that the Japanese have a tradition of sleeping on "mats" on the floor, but I didn't know they're the original futons.
This is genius. A western bed is effectively pure wasted space 66% of the time. The real Japanese futon makes a lot of sense, there is a probably a business case there. Big Mattress won’t be happy about it though, difficult to charge 5000$ for a futon 😂
These futons will undermine the whole podcast industry. “Canadaland hates him!” But yeah it’s the kids that futons seem most game changing for. They can just grow up with a futon and not know any different, sleep anywhere, have all that play floor space etc.
He’s back! Make sure to share this video so we can finally send a Paige Saunders video to the moon!

Massive shoutout to Noriko for helping you out with this video. She was great on camera and super nice to share her experience.

Try before you buy
Le retour!!!
I had no idea there was a japanese connection to futons. I didn't expect to learn this today!
glad to see you back

I live in Hamilton and bought a shikibuton from Futon d'Or a few months ago. It's amazing.
qu'est-ce qu'il y a dans un futon? broken hopes and dreams
Where can I find the results of your building cladding preferences survey please?
You sleep with a padding? In my country I sleep on a hard wooden bed
Very interesting comments there paige agree never slept on a comfortable futon well done paige 👏
love your show!
Another great and insightful video🎉 great food for thought. The only problem with having a mattress on the floor are cold drafts in winter…and make sure you have no mice😂
So useful! This will actually help me in moving out
Isn't Japanese have tatami instead of hard floor so sleep is easier?
Comin' in hot
Always try your furniture out at the showroom never order it without seeing how comfortable it is first.
just bought a queen from futon d'or let's go
Funny enough, i ordered my shikibuton from futon d'or in Montreal.

A suggestion. Get egg crate foam. It's rehabs any mattress. You can use a fitted sheet to tuck them down.
The messiah returns !
