How To Put A Futon Together?

To put together a futon, follow these steps:

  1. Lay out the futon frame on the floor and unfold the legs so it stands upright.
  2. Unfold the futon mattress and place it on top of the frame, making sure it is centered.
  3. Attach the back support board if your futon frame has one. It usually clips onto the back of the frame to provide support when the futon is in couch position.
  4. Optional: Place a mattress pad or sheet over the futon mattress and attach with elastic straps if it is not permanently attached.
  5. You can now use your futon as a couch. To convert it to a bed, simply pull the back down so it is flat.

That's all there is to assembling a basic folding futon. Let me know if you have any other questions!
