Abstract: The futon includes a back deck guided for movement between horizontal and forwardly-inclined positions by rollers engaging in slots of the side frames of the futon. The seat deck is pivotally secured to the forward end of side extensions of the back deck by inter-engaging slots and pins. To convert from a bed position, the seat deck is initially pulled forwardly to locate the rollers in positions in the guide slots for movement of the back deck from the horizontal position to the inclined position. By pivoting the seat deck upwardly and permitting it to slide downwardly relative to the pins, the seat deck is positioned to leverage the back deck into the inclined position upon pivoting the seat deck back towards its horizontal position. The back deck is thus inclined and locked in the inclined position by the engagement of the rollers in extreme ends of guide slots. The seat deck rests on a futon cross piece and is supported along its rear edge by the slot and pin connection with the back deck.
