Futon Frames

Several different mechanisms determine the operational characteristics and performance of futon frames. We carry all styles and varieties of futon frames.

View the following categories:

"A" Frames or Tri-Fold frame

This is the model that started the futon revolution. It is both easy to operate and a space-saving frame that can double as a simple chair and covert to a bed. This style converts like an expanding telescope. All these frames come in hard woods, with or without arms.

Back Operating

This is the second most common of all the couch style frames. It comes in similar colors and styles as the front loading frame, and has the ability to convert to the lounger position like the front loading frames. These frames take a little more muscle and effort to convert from a bed back to the couch position.

These frames are limited in style, versatility and durability. All are imported in low-grade metal with no warranty. However, they are typically the least expensive option. These frames are extremely lightweight and require an innerspring futon to be used with them.

These frames are made with rattan or wicker, and utilize either the front operating or back operating mechanism. They have a real tropical feel and are quite classy. All sizes are available and with the right cover your futon sofa will look as if it just came back from an island vacation.
