Recently I purchased a futon. This piece of furniture is emblazoned with a fairly vibrant purple that is reminiscent of the late and great Prince. As such, this futon is given the moniker of The Couch Prince.

The Couch Prince was obtained from the web site most widely known as Wayfair. The description of this futon was, indeed, way out there. The fairness of the price is up for debate, however, as the exact specifications were a smidge misleading. The description had the label of “Queen,” which seemed convenient at the time of purchase. But what defines queen-sized in the mattress world?

The only number that seems to matter to Wayfair is the fact that the futon length is 66”, which isn’t quite six feet. I am several inches short of being a giant, and do not approve of my feet to be left hanging off the side of my bed.

When the futon is set to the resting position, it is a Twin at best. Additionally, this couch is meant for someone smaller than myself. And someone with tiny hips. Something to add to the positive column is that it has cup holders. Which my wide hops might smother if I lean over too far.

Overall, I’m not sure I would recommend this futon. But the color demands your attention, much like the late Prince did with their wild antics and spectacular discography. I give Prince five stars, though the purple futon gets two stars; mostly because it reminds me of Prince.
