The Karup Social futon bed 140×200 cm is the smallest size of the Social, a low bed that appears to float: the frame of clear lacquered pine rests on 10 cm legs that are set slightly inwards, so that they are barely visible from the side. With a width of 148 cm and a length of 204 cm, this double bed fits in a small bedroom, a studio, or a guest room that also needs to serve as a seating area during the day.
That last point is what the Social is all about. Place the separate backrests from the options set against the wall and the bed becomes a wide sofa, with a small table within reach for coffee or a book. Slide them to the headboard in the evening and you have a bed with a headboard and two nightstands. The design is by Says Who, a Danish design agency.
What you buy
The frame is made of solid pine with steel connections and is FSC Mix certified. The wooden slatted base is included in the delivery, as is the assembly manual. You purchase a mattress separately: a Karup futon from the selection list or your own 140×200 cm mattress. As an option, you can choose the set with two backrests and two tables. The backrests are 50 cm wide, 30 cm high, and 11 cm deep; the tables are 35 by 25 cm. You can place all four anywhere on the frame, around the perimeter, wherever you want them at that moment.

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 140×200 cm and orders the bed without a futon.
