Size Guide
| Choose The Right Size Couch Frame |
| The type and level of use you anticipate for your futon will determine the type of frame to best suit your needs. Futon frames generally come in two broad varieties: folding frames and stationary platform beds. Folding futons are designed to fold in half or thirds and can be used as both a sofa or as a bed. They make excellent guest beds, and can also be used as a primary sleeping surface for the budget-conscious. Bed futons are specially designed to replace a traditional box spring and mattress on a platform bed. |
| Bi Fold Style Frames |
|
| A bi-fold frame is the most common type of futon frame. Bi-folds are convertible futon sofa-bed frames that use two slat racks, allowing the futon mattress to fold once, along its length. Full size bi-fold frames are approximately 75” (inside the arms) and queen size bi-folds are approximately 80”. (The arms can be expected to add between 4 and 12” to the total width of the frame, depending on the specific frame design.) When opened to a bed, a full size measures 54x75” and a queen measures 60x80” | |
