What I Found In A Futon

Futons are the uncomfortable lumpy thing that you pull out for a guest, but do they have to be? They weren’t always like this, so how did they get so bad?

They're working on Sake, but for now I recommend the miso doux blanc. It's a very versatile ingredient that I vacuumed up in a week on coconut noodles and to boost packets of miso soup.
If you're in Montreal, there are both types of futons for sale at this shop on St Denis: www.futondor.com
Already had a couple of patrons tell me they bought one.
Yes that's right, this video and many others available early on / paigesaunders
I don't take money from BIG FUTON because I would prefer to take money from YOUR POCKET.

He’s back! Make sure to share this video so we can finally send a Paige Saunders video to the moon!

[@PaigeMTL]

Low earth orbit pays the bills

[@georgekarnezis4311]

Massive shoutout to Noriko for helping you out with this video. She was great on camera and super nice to share her experience.

[@curtismah1261]

Good to see your bear doing well after his hospital stay

[@adf8u284ja]

Glad to see the shout-out to Futon d'or. I needed a sofa-bed some months ago and ended up buying one from them - a big draw for me is that both the frame and the mattress were locally made, with the mattress being made by a company on-island and the frame coming from a small company in Sherbrooke. I considered buying something from Wayfair, but for something where the mattress was actually replaceable and not affixed directly onto the body (read: disposible) Wayfair was about the same price, not to mention probably lower quality and manufactured who knows where. Support your local businesses folks!

I had no idea there was a japanese connection to futons. I didn't expect to learn this today!

[@Amir-jn5mo]

I saw the thumbnail and thought, wtf is going on with Paige. What is interesting about futons??! Now I understand, you made me completely rethink the whole bedroom situation. Actually so much room to be gained. Now I need to research good futons and also try and convince my partner about it lol.

[@PaigeMTL]

Try before you buy

[@GR-uh7me]

I have a sofa-style futon in my Montréal studio apartment. I prefer it because (as you mentioned) it's a lot nicer to have a real bed when you have someone over, but mostly because I'm not on the floor with the mice, which are common in these old buildings. There's a reason why people go for raised beds! That futon stuffing being misshapen material scraps was heinous though 😅

[@reverendrocky1485]

New Paige Saunders. Today is going to be a good day.

[@yukaira]

babe wake up new Paige Saunders video

[@casualviewer835]

glad to see you back

[@whapabab4340]

Le retour!!!

[@samsam21amb]

I studied Japanese and I have been so confused as to how these futons have 2 different variants thanks for the video! And personally I initially thought as a futon as the Japanese one not the couch thing…

[@pykepyke_]

Thanks for sharing this, I was very happy to see a new post, I've missed them

[@MultigrainKevinOs]

Goldie! Thank goodness you are okay.

[@CalCalCal6996]

Happy to see you're back. Still loving the content Paige. I'm happy someone is out here making what I want to see!

[@keithtonkin6959]

Good to see you are back

[@Tavarna]

Yeay Happy to see you back!

[@jerQCote]

qu'est-ce qu'il y a dans un futon? broken hopes and dreams

[@AvianYuen]

I live in Hamilton and bought a shikibuton from Futon d'Or a few months ago. It's amazing.

[@martyfill9690]

Very interesting comments there paige agree never slept on a comfortable futon well done paige 👏

[@CurtisThorpe]

Comin' in hot

[@catherinemain-oster8513]

Another great and insightful video🎉 great food for thought. The only problem with having a mattress on the floor are cold drafts in winter…and make sure you have no mice😂

[@parllax]

You sleep with a padding? In my country I sleep on a hard wooden bed

[@akhilkarandikar99]

love your show!

[@elizabethdavis1696]

Where can I find the results of your building cladding preferences survey please?

[@mirrenbodanis5224]

So useful! This will actually help me in moving out

[@ikesau]

just bought a queen from futon d'or let's go

[@dmnddog7417]

Even though I don't have bug issues in my building, I'm still very paranoid about sleeping on the floor. I knew that the Japanese have a tradition of sleeping on "mats" on the floor, but I didn't know they're the original futons.

[@AmberSparrow-cn3vo]

Always try your furniture out at the showroom never order it without seeing how comfortable it is first.

[@planningpersonlaidbackdeep1273]

A suggestion. Get egg crate foam. It's rehabs any mattress. You can use a fitted sheet to tuck them down.

[@al.kenzie]

Funny enough, i ordered my shikibuton from futon d'or in Montreal.

[@joepowah]

The messiah returns !

[@darcy_1]

Yo

[@kynamleduc2138]

This is genius. A western bed is effectively pure wasted space 66% of the time. The real Japanese futon makes a lot of sense, there is a probably a business case there. Big Mattress won’t be happy about it though, difficult to charge 5000$ for a futon 😂

[@PaigeMTL]

These futons will undermine the whole podcast industry. “Canadaland hates him!” But yeah it’s the kids that futons seem most game changing for. They can just grow up with a futon and not know any different, sleep anywhere, have all that play floor space etc.

[@etbadaboum]

Isn't Japanese have tatami instead of hard floor so sleep is easier?

[@Alex_Plante]
