Re: How to raise futon frame

Actually, I don't need this information anymore - I did get the frame raised but it wouldn't fit in the van, even in "couch" position, so I gave it to a local thrift store. But thank you to everyone...

Re: How to raise futon frame

Update: I have acquired a bed.

After I got back from the thrift shop I was taking some stuff outside and found 2 twin-size frames, mattresses, and box springs in the "donation" area. They had...

Re: How to raise futon frame

That's a nice idea. It wouldn't work with this futon frame; it's just too long (wide?). I actually thought about something like that when I had the frame set up in the van yesterday. There wasn't...

Re: How to raise futon frame

Actually, I was thinking of just using the futon mattress; I don't think thrift shops accept used mattresses anymore (bedbug issues) so if I don't use it it will just end up at the dumpster. But if I...

Re: How to raise futon frame

Update: I have good news and bad news. The good news is, I got the legs on blocks and raised the frame enough to go over the wheel wells. It was only about an inch and a half but that was enough....

Re: How to raise futon frame

Well, I got a chance to try putting the frame leg inside the piece of PVC pipe I bought. It doesn't fit; they're too close to the same size (don't know what I was thinking there). On to the next...

Re: How to raise futon frame

It's funny - I've read about how much easier it is to have a motorhome than a trailer when it's time to move it because you just start the engine and go. But I always figured it wasn't that easy -...

Re: How to raise futon frame

Thoughts on this, anyone? I can't bolt anything down. Should I forget the futon frame, keep the mattress folded up somewhere, and put it on the floor when I need to use it?

Re: How to raise futon frame

Wow, they *are* expensive. But they look like what I was thinking of with the PVC pipe; I wonder if that's what they're made of. The regular plastic doesn't seem to hold the weight well. ( I see they...

How to raise futon frame

I want to use my current futon frame in my van but it won't fit across the back and it's a bit too low to go over the wheel wells; it needs to come up about 3". I've talked to several people at Home...
