Beyond Bending Tell You How
Having a futon is a great way to maximize space in your home. It’s comfortable to sit on and provides a cozy bed for your guests. However, there may come a time when you need to take apart your futon to move it to a different room or to a new home. Disassembling a futon may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and a little bit of patience, it can be done easily. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to take apart a futon.
Step 1: Remove the Mattress
The first step in taking apart your futon is to remove the mattress. Depending on the type of futon you have, this may involve simply lifting the mattress off the frame or unscrewing it from the hinges. If your futon has a cover, remove it before you take off the mattress.
Step 2: Unscrew the Arms
Next, unscrew the arms of the futon from the frame. Depending on the design of your futon, the arms may be attached to the frame with screws or bolts. Use a screwdriver or wrench to loosen and remove the screws or bolts, and set them aside in a safe place.
Step 3: Detach the Backrest
Once the arms are removed, you can detach the backrest from the frame. This may involve unscrewing it or lifting it off the hinges. Again, depending on the design of your futon, the backrest may be held in place with screws, bolts or pins. Use the appropriate tool to detach it from the frame.
Step 4: Take Apart the Frame
With the arms and backrest removed, you can now take apart the frame of the futon. Depending on the type of futon you have, the frame may be held together with screws, bolts or pins. Use the appropriate tool to remove each piece of the frame and set them aside in a safe place.
Step 5: Store the Parts Safely
Once you have disassembled your futon, it’s important to store the parts safely. Keep all the screws, bolts and other small pieces in a plastic bag or container, so they don’t get lost. If you plan on moving your futon, make sure to label each part of the frame so you know how to put it back together later.
If you need further assistance in taking apart your futon or putting it back together, you can consult the manufacturer’s instructions or seek help from a professional.
