Futons are designed to accommodate various human needs, from lounging to sleeping to trapping sneaky hobgoblins until they reveal the location of their secret mulberry stash. Combine convenience and goon-catching with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $100 worth of futon frames, mattresses, and covers at Futopia, located on O Street between Sixteenth Street and Seventeenth Street.

Futopia cushions versatile sleepers with an impressive selection of stylish futon frames and accessories. Lonely mattresses find finely crafted companionship in a selection of frames (starting at $199.95) from the sleek Strata collection to the sturdy line of rugged living-room loungers from Night and Day, all constructed out of eco-friendly, plantation-grown hardwood. Conversely, skeletal frames longing for a plush caress can seek solace in four versatile brands of futon mattress (from $199.95), each with its own dimensions, materials, and recommended frame-and-wine pairings. The store boasts hundreds of patterned covers (from $49.95), including muted tropical-patchwork styles and pleasingly color-bombed mosaics. A collection of foam bags (from $99.95) offers an affordable alternative to the futon, equally appropriate for couch potatoes liable to transform into bed potatoes without warning.
