Will this work with a futon frame? I have a tri-fold futon frame that I want to use as both a bed and a loveseat.

i doubt that it will fold up easily in a futon. it will work as a bed - but it's really thick and would be nearly impossible to fold. i think the same company makes a thinner mattress though - that might work.

Our beds could fit in a futon couch frame if the dimensions are the exact same. However, our beds are not able to easily fold up in half horizontally because of the firmness of the bed.

I bought a queen size for my queen size wooden futon. Its great for bed use. I haven't tried to use it in a futon couch position yet.

I bought a "Genesis Twin Size Foam/Cotton/Polyester Futon Mattress" for the frame. I don't know if it's still available through Amazon. It fits fine, overlapping the sides and top/bottom just a bit, as I want it. I've never tried to fold it back onto itself, and I think it's a bit thick for actually using it that way. But it also seems to me that you wouldn't want a thinner futon or else you might feel the frame through it when you use it in the normal way. That's all I know, since I have no experience beyond this frame and futon. You might also consider adding a foam pad over the futon - it's sooo comfy!!! Like floating on air.

I had a queen mattress which I bought this frame for. The queen is about a foot too long so get the next size smaller mattress. The queen still works but it sticks up above the backrest one foot when set up as a couch.

It would be very dificult, this futon is thick and meant for comfort. Just get a normal futon frame from walmart for $70 and this matress.

No, your best bet would be using this for a standard full size futon frame. Because of the coils, the mattress is only flexible enough for one fold.

The mattress wouldn't be flexible enough for a mattress at least for putting it in the seated position. The mattress should be a futon mattress for your best use of the frame.

It may depend on your futon frame. When I got my new frame it was hard to get the futon to stay up, but after a week of sitting on it everything is fine.

It takes a futon mattress the same size as whatever size the frame is. Mine is a twin frame with a twin futon mattress. It does not need a tri fold mattress. The thickness and the quality of the mattress determine the comfort of the seat and bed. If the mattress is too thick it will be hard to fold and too thin, it will be a bit uncomfortable. I have a 4 inch futon twin mattress and can feel the slats underneath but it is really easy to fold to use a a seat (I use mine primarily as a bed). Hope this is helpful.

Sorry - no. Just as in the picture - the arms are adjustable. At 90 degree angles it is 50 and 1/2 inches (couch position) on the metal frame - so even if you squeeze the futon mattress to 48 the frame won't fit. The mattress is 72 inches unfolded. I measured it for you with a tape measure to be sure.

I would recommend getting some Otis grip strps, this will help in keeping the mattress in place. I am very happy with the tri fold futon. Our mattress sticks up higher on the back, but does not fold over. I'm guessing it would depend on the type and quality of your mattress.

I love this headboard, but I use it with a boxspring and mattress, and no frame. My boxspring is directly on the floor. It works perfect for my use. If you have a frame, boxspring and mattress, there is a chance that this would be too high.

As long as the spring futon mattress can bend then yes. We use ours as a lounger and we like it a lot. We would like it even more if we had purchased a mattress with more spring in it. We are using a memory foam futon mattress with no springs and it can flatten out pretty quickly. As far as the frame, purchase without worry. We love ours

I used two separate twin bed frames but just used the SGT Knots on the mattresses not the box springs. It really works great when you add the pad that goes on top of the mattresses so you can't feel where they are joined together. It should work just the same with a king-size bed frame too.

Yes. For example, it will fold down the middle along the longer dimension sufficiently easily that it can be used on a standard sofa-type futon frame. Keeping it in place when in sofa mode might be a problem. I guess that's always a problem. I have resorted to lashing straps to keep the futon from settling down. Basically, it folds just as well along either direction.

It doesn't seem to be designed for one, but if you're a carpenter, I'm sure you could manage to attach one. In my case, I thought it came with a crappy mattress, but found it was intended for a futon. I ended up ordering a rollaway foldup bed which really serves my purposes better. The frame is sturdy, but I think they assume you will apply finish to some or all of it.
