Three Types of Futon Frames
When it comes to a futon frame, you can choose between a bi-fold and a tri-fold futon frame. The bi-fold is an excellent space saver as it allows your futon to function as both a sofa and a bed. It is also considered as industry standard and therefore the most popular type of futon frame. It allows you to fold your futon mattress once. Moreover, a bi-fold futon frame size may range from queen to full size. This allows you to easily accommodate one additional person.
The tri-fold futon frame, on the other hand, allows you to fold your mattress twice. It makes use of a thin mattress because it’s easier to fold than the thick ones. It may be a bit uncomfortable to convert it to a bed or a sofa, but it is loved for its versatility and the varied choices when it comes to settings.
Futon frames can also be used in a loveseat as well as an armchair. It thus makes a beautiful and useful accessory in a loft, guest room, or your home office. If you are only going for regular seats, you can select a futon frame for arm chair. Visit AffordableFutons.com »

Materials of a Futon Frame
A futon frame expresses its flexibility by the kind of material being used for it.
Wood
There are many kinds of sizes, colors, and styles you can choose when it comes to wooden futon frames. Those made of pinewood have been dominating the market for several years now, but hardwood ones are trying to catch up because of their affordability. They are, however, prone to being damaged more quickly than pinewoods. Nevertheless, if you have basic knowledge about the construction of a wooden futon frame, you will be more confident when you are going to compare prices and models. |
Metal
A metal futon frame is excellent in minimalist houses. Its design may range from traditional to modern. College students go for a metal futon frame because it’s easier to move around and can achieve different kinds of looks. Moreover, it’s an excellent investment as it can last longer, even for many years.

Wicker and Rattan
The wicker and rattan futon frame is perfect if you have a rest house somewhere near the beach or you simply want to add an exotic look in your home. It is also a great overlay for your metal or wood to give it more character as well as style.
If you want to match your wooden futon frame to your bed, you may purchase an unfinished wood frame so you can stain it according to your preference. Metal futon frames, meanwhile, do come in a myriad of colors, but they can also be easily painted so they will complement your other decors.
