“Futons are the sporks of the furniture world”

A futon (a sofa and a bed) has been compared to a spork (a spoon and a fork)—something that tries to do two things and does neither well. “‘To me, a futon (or hide-a-bed) is just the furniture equivalent of the spork.’ –@skoda” was posted on Twitter on May 6, 2011. “Futons, the sporks of furniture” was posted on Twitter on April 3, 2012.

Wikipedia: Futon 
A futon (布団) is a Japanese traditional bedding.
 
A bedding set consists of both a mattress (敷き布団 shikibuton, lit. “spreading futon”) and a duvet (掛け布団 kakebuton, lit. “covering futon”). Both elements of a futon bedding set are pliable enough to be aired, folded and stored away in an oshiire closet during the day, allowing the room to serve for purposes other than as a bedroom.
 
Western-style futons, which typically resemble low, wooden sofa beds, differ substantially from their Japanese counterparts. They often have the dimensions of a western mattress, and are too thick to fold 180°. They are often set up and stored on a slatted frame, which avoids having to move them to air them, especially in the dry indoor air of a centrally-heated house (Japanese homes were not traditionally centrally-heated).
