Below you'll find helpful information to help you identify and locate your lost or broken hard-to-find futon frame parts and hardware.

Futon Frame Maintenance Tips

At Futons.net you'll find all the parts you need to fix your futon frame instead of buying a new one. A little preventative maintenance can greatly increase how long your frame lasts. Check the bolts every month or two and tighten gently if loose, but don’t overtighten.

If you have a wooden frame, rubbing a bar of Ivory soap in the arm tracks now and then will keep things moving smoothly.

Most damage happens when people force a frame that’s stuck. If it won’t convert from bed to sofa, stop, remove the mattress, and check for binding or uneven force. Don’t yank one side harder than the other.

Plastic parts can dry out or wear over time, and loose bolts can lead to shifting and eventual breakage. Some parts are made of plastic to protect the frame—if forced, a metal part could crack the wood, so it's better for the plastic piece to give way.
