Abstract: A futon style sofa bed, preferably made from a metal frame, and having an elastomeric material stretched to cover the frame. The elastomeric material obviates the need for support slats, as well as cushions or a mattress. In a preferred embodiment, the frame members are made from steel tubing, and the fabric is oriented within the frame so that the warp direction (the direction of primary stretch) runs from front to back or from side to side in the seat frame, and also in the seat back. Adjusting means is disclosed, for adjusting the length and/or width of the frame, thus adjusting the tension of the fabric stretched about the frame.
