I have been looking for some futon plans on the net . My daughter would like me to build her one ... but I cant seem to find a set that I dont need to buy . The plan itself is not really what I am looking for it is more the way that the couch folds into a bed . Or how it is done .
If any know of any site that has this info I sure would appreciate .
Marcel,

Arky, Can you share that email with the resty of us? I have been looking for a set of plans for one for about two years...... Just can't find one that I am looking for...... Kinda picky... ;) ;)
What the heck is a Futon?
I now what a meci beau'coup is but haven't the slightest idea what a Futon is :-\ :P
Tom, it's a couch that doubles as a bed. The back of the couch flops down and then guests can toss and turn on it all night. They help keep the guest from overstaying their welcome.
Here's a couple of free Futon plans on this site

Oh-h-h-h-h! A fold-out.
I've had to try and sleep on those before. :D
I need to build one of those for my camp as well, but mine will have a single bunk above it. I have been looking around a bit too for a good plan on how they fold, or where I can get the steel hardware for one.
Be sure to have plenty of padding in the mattress tick. We have two futons and I hate them both becuase sitting on them for any length of time is just downright uncomfortable and sleeping on one is not a pleasant experience!
I've been lookiing for a while and could not come up with any that seemed to fit my daughters likings ..
So , this is where I came to ask ... should of saved me a bunch of time and come here first . :)

I just get so confused??
First it's Regular meaning coffee milkshake and then it's a funny name for a foldout bed and now, I'm almost afraid to ask....... Does "regular" mean something special here?? :P :-\ ;)

After a search on the links given..... I still could not find the futons. :( :( :D
Brad.
My wife drug me to IKEA last week and we looked at Futons. Decided not to buy one, but sure did get a lot of other stuff. The one I saw that looked useable was under $200. If you have an IKEA anywhere near, getting a close up look might give you some pointers on how they make it work.
Here is a link to the information at their site:
