Grand Teton Oak Futon FrameDescription
The L-Frame is our most popular futon frame for students and comfortably seats three adults in the sofa position plus easily lays back into a bed. At 72 inches wide, it fits under all lofts including the shorter beds in Creswell Hall. L-Frames come in two pre-assembled parts that are easily joined together by two cotter pins and two clevis pins. That one-of-a-kind feature makes set up a breeze and is a life saver when it comes time to move out at the end of the term. Heavy duty construction allows for a no hassle Lifetime Warranty from the manufacturer.

Measurments:
Frame: 72" x 52" (This frame will fit under the shorter beds in Creswell Hall)
Futon Mattress: 54" x 75"

Construction
Made In America right here in Georgia from Southern Yellow Pine because of its beautiful appearance and resilience. Two 2" x 6" runners along the bottom make the frame strong and sturdy and the L-Frame comes in two pieces for easy transportation. Just line up two holes and stick a clevis pin through and it's put together.

The 8" thick futon mattress has a 3 inch layer of dense foam and 5 inches of cotton batting. The outer shell is made with a canvas fabric.

 

 Large Selection of full size Futon Covers in stock. Sale prices start at $29.

Futon Mattress Protectors are $59.95 and highly recommended because they're waterproof and protect against bed bugs, dust mites, allergens and bacteria. Ours are custom made from 100% Stretch Kinit Polyester to fit all of our 7 to 9 inch thick futon mattresses. They zip tightly all the way around the mattress and easily bend with it when folded.

Grip Strips made by Otis Bed ae $29.95 a pair and will prevent your futon mattress from sliding down the frame. Nothing else will work as well!

Our L Frame and futon mattress are both lightweight and easy to pickup and setup yourself. They are the easiest to load into a pickup truck but we can get them into other vehicles, too.
The futon frame is in two sections banded together to become 72' long X 38" wide X 8' deep.
The futon mattress is folded in half to become roughly 54" long X 32" wide X 16" deep.

10/1/25 Update On Futon Frame Prices & Tariffs:

 Our hardwood futon frames are all imported and prices have been trending upward due to increasing tariffs that our supplier has passed on to us in the form of price increases on the cost of their products. We have had two price increases so far this year, one in May and one in October, with more on the horizon.

Many manufacturers are slimming down their product lines in these uncertain times and our futon frame manufacturer has done the same. The Eureka and Winter frame models and all models in the dark chocolate finish have been discontinued. We have plenty of these items in stock right now but we will not be able to get any more once they are gone.

The good news is that prices are stable for now, our inventory is good and our hardwood futon frames are still your best value for the money and ease of operation.

My suggestion is if you are going to buy a futon frame in the future, especially for the holidays, you may want to go ahead and do so now.

AVAILABILITY:

We usually have all of the futon frames, mattresses and futon covers that you see on our futon pages in stock. Products are boxed and stocked in our on-site warehouse and ready for immediate pickup. Drive your SUV, van, pickup truck or tow a trailer and I'll load your futon up for you today!

 FUTON FRAME PRICES:

Prices are a little higher now but still pretty good, especially considering the long term value received from buying real hardwood furniture.

FUTON MATTRESS PRICES: Don't forget futon frames and mattresses are priced separately!

FUTON COVER PRICES: May 1, 2025

Large Selection of In Stock Futon Covers Now On Sale! Sale prices start at $29.95 and $39.95 and there are some really nice Extra Heavy Texture patterns on sale for $49.95 that include two matching pillows! We always have a huge selection of Futon Covers in stock so come browse our selection and feel the fabrics!

 
Hardwood Futon Frame Collection

We offer 9 models in our hardwood futon frame collection as reflected in these ten different arm styles. They all feature the exclusive Moon Glider front operating futon body. Totally operated from the front, they are the easiest to convert from sofa to recliner to bed and back to sofa. No heavy lifting from the side or back required to get from the bed position back to sofa position.

All Moon Glider bodies consist of the same back deck, seat deck and strecher rails so the only difference between the different models is the arms. When picking out a futon frame, I always advise customers to JUST LOOK AT THE ARMS and also not get distracted by the covers. You purchase the cover separate to match the frame color or your room decor.

Our hardwood frames are beautifully finished with automated and hand-rubbed techniques for a rich and durable finish. These well-engineered frames are primarily made from solid plantation-grown hardwood. When paired with a high quality futon mattress, they are the ultimate convertible sofa sleeper.

Frames are quick and easy to assemble and come with a limited 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

This is Kalyn relaxing at home on her loveseat lounger version of the Kingston futon frame. She kept it in this lounger position most of the time to study, watch TV or play video games. For ocassional over night guests, the back lets down turning it into a full size bed.

Unfortunately, our manufacturer has discontinued the loveseat size in all models.

Futon Loveseat Loungers
Sorry, Futon Loveseat Lounger and Chair sizes have been discontinued by our manufacturer.
