Sleeping on a queen airbed right now in that space. Have to air it up every few days, but that is pretty easy with the attached corded pump. Air beds are pretty cold even with a fake fur or wool pad for insulation. Air is not particularly insulating.

Good to think about all the maintenance involved with a real futon esp queen size. They are tough to move around.
