Your first thought probably is what is a wall-hugger? A wall-hugger is a type of futon frame that does not require the frame to be moved away from the wall in order to convert the frame. Another name is zero tolerance futon.

Why is this a big deal? Well for one, the frame and the mattress may weigh over 300 pounds. Who wants to move something this heavy just to go to bed or worse yet have to call your neighbor to come over and help you move it.

Strata Furniture is the only futon frame company that makes a true wall-hugger zero tolerance futon. Place the frame next to the wall and the front loading mechanism allows you to convert the frame from sofa to bed quickly and easily.

Another great advantage is that an uninformed guest trying to convert a typical frame will scratch and dent your walls. As we say at Strata: Are Your Walls Safe?

Strata Furniture has a patented front loading wall hugger mechanism. One of the reasons you purchase a futon is to have the versatility of a sofa and a bed. Why not buy one that is the easiest and quickest to convert from sofa to bed.

Shop and compare the mechanism as well as the design and I am sure you will agree the small extra cost is worth the benefits.
