Nittany Lyin’: Futon shopping in State College

April 18, 2022 5:15 AM

I’d like to buy a futon from somewhere that will deliver to State College. It should be sturdy enough to sleep on occasionally. The main local store Google points me to has a BBB rating that’s in the tank and appears not to have a showroom anymore. I think the closest IKEA is VeryExpensiveDelivery miles away. But this is a college town and presumably it is full of futons. Where do I shop?

Wayfair has a number of futons with extensive reviews, if you're comfortable buying something without trying it first.

I bet State College or the university has a used furniture marketplace if you don't mind second-hand.

Bob's Discount Furniture? They're a regional chain, and have direct-ship options. Closest location is Harrisburg, if you'd want to try the futon out first.
