The Karup Merge futon bed 160×200 cm is a floating double bed made of solid pine with a bench at the foot end: 164 cm wide, 227 cm long, top of frame at 32,5 cm. The 10 cm legs are set inwards, giving the platform the appearance of floating off the floor. There are open storage compartments under the bench, and the bench has a depth of 22,5 cm for books, a magazine, or your morning coffee.
The Merge is the Karup bed for those who want storage space without placing a wardrobe or nightstands. Everything you want to have close at hand is visible and within reach at the foot of the bed. The design is by Says Who, the Danish agency behind more Karup models.
What you buy
The natural solid pine frame carries the FSC Mix certificate and comes with a wooden slatted base and assembly instructions. The 160×200 cm mattress is purchased separately: a Karup futon from the selection list or your own mattress. If you choose the tatami bed base, two 80×200 cm mats will fit into the frame instead of the slatted base.

Choose a futon
When configuring, you choose a Karup futon, or you order the bed without a futon and use your own mattress. The futons are constructed from layers of cotton around a core:
- Traditional: coreless cotton, approximately 13 cm
- Comfort: cotton with a 4 cm foam core, approximately 15 cm
- Coconut: cotton with a 3 cm coconut board core, approximately 16 cm
- Sandwich: cotton with a core of 4 cm latex foam and 3 cm coconut board, approximately 16 cm
- Double latex: cotton with an 8 cm latex foam core, approximately 18 cm
- Triple latex: cotton and wool with a core of 6 cm latex foam and 2 cm horsehair, approximately 20 cm
More information about each filling can be found at our futon mattresses.
Organic futon
The Karup futons are made of recycled cotton, eco-friendly but not organically certified. Those who want a fully organically produced mattress, without chemicals and pesticides, with certificates and quality marks and a more luxurious finish, choose the organic futon mattress Traditional 160×200 cm and orders the bed without a futon.
