Does anyone out there have experience making futon frames? What I am
looking for are good ideas, pitfalls to watchout for in design, etc.
for a "convertible" frame. I am planning a frame (double sized) which
will fold up for the backrest (suggestions on a comfortable angle?) and
fold back down easily for the bed position; and which will slide out
and up (I haven't figured out this mechanism yet--a slated section
which would fit into/under the "seat" and slide out into the bed position,
I think) to extend the bed. Suggestions on types of joints, wood,
hardware would be appreciated.
Thanks!
