Is anyone else having an issue with the couch not wanting to fold back into a couch? Mine has decided it wants to stay in the bed shape.

Mine is very difficult to fold back into a couch. I have to try several times and finally it will catch. It's not the most comfortable bed either but I bought it for a guest bed and its only used occasionally for a night or two so it will do.

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 had the same experience at the beginning, but I took it apart and looked at the directions again. they are not the clearest but once I figured how it should go, it turned out well and it's a great bed. sturdy and unshakable. good make and great deal. good luck

Mine does not lay flat either. It popps up even with a sweater drying on it. The legs also tend to fold in so it can be a bit frustrating but it seem to work even though it does not lay flat.

The couch is low to the ground. Honestly, it's not that comfortable as a couch. We have it in our gameroom more as an extra bed.

Hmm, mine popped out fine but I have trouble getting one to fold back on now. Mines packed so I can't look at it now. I'm sorry.

I guess there is somewhat of a firmness issue. The area around my hips and shoulders I have noticed that the padding tends to move away and has to be fluffed. However I have to admit I don't know if that is normal or not because this is the first time I have ever owned a futon . . I hope my comments were helpful

Mine does not do this. It is left unfolded on a high, deep shelf over our washer and dryer, though, so that would tend to help it to lie flat.

We love ours too! However we have had casulaties with it too. This is our 3rd now. We feel that that perhaps it must not be tucked in tightly any where. we just leave the blanket on top of the sheets and that spread lays loose over it.The last time it was a problem we just unlugged it and replugged it in and it worked. We feel it must not be confined anywhere on the bed. Hope this helps and we hope ours will last more that one year.

Make sure the horizontal stabilizing bar is up, pull the seat up in the middle and the chair folds right up. Never had any problem. If your chair is particularly tight right out of the box, maybe put a small drop of lubricant on each joint?

I wish I could tell you a special trick to use but my daughter folded the couch into position before I got home. She did it by herself which surprised me because it is very heavy.Maybe if you got another person to help, you could put it in place. I know I could not have done it alone.

yeah, I dont know if this foam is meant to stay folded like that when it fully expands.. I have no idea, maybe just place it somewhere else. Possibly you could put a cardboard or thin rectangle piece of wood in between the folds when you are trying to fold the sofa?

Hi Christine.. Any luck on the sofa? Were you able to get help to put it back together?

This is not the most greatest couch to sleep on. My husband is 180 & has slept on it one night. He said "that couch is terrible!" I have since moved it in my bedroom to throw clothes on in the morning. It's super stiff & it looks like a midget couch. Everyone used to come in & ask me if the couch was super small. The picture shown makes it look way more plush than it really is. Just my thoughts... Hope it helps.

Yes. We have enjoyed the bed. It did come missing some bolts or the bolts were the wrong length. We called to have them sent, but we didn't get any delivered. It was just as easy to go buy some bolts the right length. The boxes came dented and some damage to the wood. I bought my futon online and it came with a cover. Very nice. I'd say that we definitely got our money's worth out of the bed. It is hard to take the futon from a bed to a couch. You have to have someone strong and tall to do it for you.

No. We did not have that issue. Maybe it is overheating slightly, and off-gassing since it is new. I find that a lot with new plastic goods/furniture. If it lasts for more than a few days, I'd be concerned.

I have the same problem. The way they shipped it (folded), you can't make it lie flat. It is a piece of crap. I'm going to send mine back.
