Oblong Nylon Futon Glides
Oblong Plastic Futon Glides are found on many older A-Frame
Futons as well as various Bi-Fold Futons manufactured in
the US and abroad. This futon part is often referred to as
an oblong futon roller,
futon glide, oval futon glide, oval futon roller, futon
glide, plastic futon glide, nylon roller bushing,
and various other futon parts.
Caring for your Oblong Glides
Unlike most other futon glides, the oblong glide is usually
made of a harder, denser plastic. This can be especially
problematic of the inside of your futon frame is rough or
jagged. It is recommend you carefully sand down and jagged
edges on the recessed areas where your oblong futon glide
will slide. These areas are usually located on the insides
of your futon arms. Be careful not to over-sand the areas
and ensure that you do not round the edges of the recesses
with your sand paper.
It is essential that you keep your futon frame in tune.
Check to make sure your futon frame is not loose, by
wiggling the arms and joints. If something appears to be
loose, tighten it. Take care not to over-tighten any part
on your futon, however, as damage can occur.
Oblong Futon Roller Specifications
We have had some difficulty obtaining these parts and our
inventory is limited. It is possible we will not be able to
obtain any more of oblong futon glides once we run out.
Therefore, you might consider purchasing an extra spare for
your own personal inventory if you think you might require
another in the future.
* Thickness is the measurement of the futon glide as if it
were sitting on a table with the Metal Shaft sticking up in
the air. The thickness would be from the table to the top
of the plastic area.
* Width is the measurement of the futon glide as if it were
laying sideways on a table, with the Metal Shaft on the
horizontal. The measurement from the table to the top of
the plastic futon glide would, in this case, be considered
the width.
Although the picture above displays a pair of glides, these futon parts are sold individually, not in pairs. Discounts are given to orders of 4 futon glides or more.
