How to Unfold a Metal Futon
The futon is a very popular furniture item for both the home and college dorm. From the living room to the office, a futon is an affordable and convenient addition to any space. It is available in a wide range of sizes and styles, and comes with a twin, full or queen-size mattress. It is also available in a variety of colors and materials, such as wood or metal bases, and can blend with any home decor. Both convenient and comfortable, a futon can unfold into a bed when additional sleeping arrangements are required.
-
Make space around the futon by moving any objects, such as a coffee table, away from it.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Grab the handle and pull it towards you. Slowly walk backwards so that the bed can unfold without causing injury.
-
Let the futon bed gently unfold, allowing it to rest against the base. Your futon couch is now a futon bed.
