Can anyone tell me where I can buy some futon couches? No one in Belize city seems to have any in stock, anywhere else I can try? Phone numbers would be appreciated too if you have them handy!!

Lea's furniture in San Ignacio has nice ones they make from Belizean Hardwood.

I bought two from Dave's furniture world a couple of years ago, the kind with the painted metal frame. Sorry no phone numbers.

C's Furniture, San Pedro. Basic but functional Mahogany frame, Mennonite made. Bought one there a few years back. Try them at 226 4037

Thanks - I just called C's and they cost $900 BZ

Thanks guys. I tried Dave's with the metal backing last week and they were all out. Does C' furniture include mattresses? The price sounds right.

Mirab's in Belize City had a new shipment a few months back with an updated design (frame not exposed) but they were pricey - pretty cool though.

We got one at C's. Very nice and built really, really, heavy.

We were there on Thursday and Mirabs only has the flip type couches / no futons. Good to know that C's has them (they were closed yesterday, so have to figure out their hours). We will be outfitting a whole house now, so need bedroom and living room stuff. The furniture at Mirabs looks fairly nice, but not as sturdy as we would like

I think the only folks in San Pedro who stock real "futon" mattress fold down couch-beds are Hummingbird Wicker and Rattan.
A real futon mattress is thick & heavy and stuffed with natural fibre. So if that is what you mean by "futon", the place to go is probably Hummingbird.
The fold-down couches at Mr. C's are both affordable & nice looking. They have a 4" piece of foam for the cushion. Kids seem to sleep in them just fine, but bigger bodies may find this cushion lacking support and comfort.

Does C's have an email, anyone know? Or website? Am long distance this month....
