Futon Frames

The futon frame is the foundation for the futon mattress. In addition to being the futon sofa's foundation, the futon frame is also a mechanism.

Lowering the backrest of the futon frame enables the bendable futon mattress to become a bed. There are different ways to convert a futon frame and much of it depends on the model and features.

Sizes range from chair sized futon frames that can make small cots to queen size beds. The other futon frame sizes, include twin, full and queen.

Loveseats make full sized beds, but also require special attention to mattress selection. Some love seat futon frames come with special extension pieces that slide out.

Futon frames are usually made of wood, metal, or a combination of both materials.
