Futon Sofa Bed Instructions

Futons are the classic dorm room piece of furniture, mostly due to their unique design that enables them to be transformed from couch to bed in a few steps. Because of their ease of use and the fact that manufacturers are beginning to make them more comfortable for sitting in, futons are making their way into regular homes more and more. There are several different design types for futons, but none of them make the transformation into beds difficult.

Extend the support pieces on the back portion of the futon if it has them, and then begin using your futon sofa bed. If your futon doesn't transform this way, continue to Step 2.
