EVG reader EJ shared the above photo... showing that Economy Foam & Futon is leaving its home of 15 years on West 8th Street between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue.
Per EJ:
They close at the end of the month. But they're moving to Chelsea, though "under new ownership." The gent there said it'll be a much smaller space, so there will be many fewer offerings. Still lotsa stuff there at a discount before the move.
Economy Foam & Futon was a Lower East Side fixture, anchoring the corner of Houston and Allen from 1937 to 2003...maybe you bought a futon there...
