Futon is good for a quick change in bed to couch, to bed again. I have had both a bed and a futon, and I find that a futon is good for a while, but they tend to wear out within a year or so and the bars start poking through a bit. By that point you have to add some padding underneath in order to get rid of the bars bugging you at night.

If you are in a smaller place, a futon is a better choice than a bed. Because you can more easily move a futon around than a bed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

For the futon? Ok, well after about a year and a half... but it also depends on how much you use it as a bed as well... Maybe the one I have is a piece of crap?.....

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, that is a good point. If you spill food or a drink, that wouldn't be great to sleep on. As a result, you would have to put on a sheet every night before you go to bed... I know it sucks having to make the futon every night but....

You know, on second thought, a bed might be better. It really depends on space, and how messy your friends are...

How ya doing, buddy?

Wow! There is a system to the madness of a futon.... Hmmmm.... maybe I should have read the instructions... (Seriously.)

Hmmm... seems like there is a lot of maintence for a futon.

Here is my final advice. After seeing all the positives and negatives of the futon, I would say go with the bed. Less work in the long run, more comfortable, and better for sex....

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, at least that maintains cleanliness in a corner of the room since the dust can't go underneath the bed. Its nice to have a high bed as well. Well, I guess not too high, otherwise falling off the bed would hurt a lot more.

I was speaking idiomatically.
