Instructions

    • 1

      Make space around the futon by moving any objects, such as a coffee table, away from it.

    • 2

      If the back of the futon is resting against a wall, pull the futon out to create a space behind it. If you unfold the futon while it is against the wall, it may leave unsightly marks.

    • 3

      Locate the handle at the front of the futon. It will usually be located at the center of the cushion. Traditionally, a futon has one or two pull handles located at the front base.

    • 4

      Grab the handle and pull it towards you. Slowly walk backwards so that the bed can unfold without causing injury.

    • 5

      Let the futon bed gently unfold, allowing it to rest against the base. Your futon couch is now a futon bed.
