Many futon companies today have become so concerned with being the cheapest they have lost sight of many important details of a futon. At Strata we feel your futon should have the looks of conventional furniture with the versatility of a futon. We also feel you should get a high quality product at a fair price. Yes, you can buy a cheaper frame, but as the old saying goes you get what you pay for. We see it every day. A person buys a cheap frame at a discount store and then six months later it breaks down and they come to us. They always say I wish we would have spend the little extra and bought a better frame.

Strata offers many distinct advantages over other futon frames. First, we employ a patented front loading wall-hugger mechanism. This mechanism allows you to convert the frame from a sofa to bed without moving the frame away from the wall. Who wants to lift a heavy frame and mattress away from the wall in order to go to bed? Most companies fail to mention this fact when you buy their frame. The first time you have to move the frame to convert it you wish you would have bought a wall-hugger.

We offer two distinct types of frames. Our Signature Collection contains four frames with a finished back. Strata is the only futon company that has a frame that contains a finished back. The finished back creates the look of a conventional sofa, the versatility of a futon frame and a piece of furniture that looks beautiful from any view. When the frame is unfolded it is not only a great place for sleeping but for placing pillows to relax or read. It creates the look and feel of a day bed when unfolded.

Our Carriage line is our less expensive line that contains numerous unique styles in many different finishes. This collection has great style and design. It employs the wall hugger mechanism. The arm styles in this collection are unique from our competitors and are comparable in design to traditonal furniture. Strata has trademarked and patented all our arm styles so our competition can not knock off our beautiful designs and try to sell a cheaper less quality version.

Our frames are built at a quality manufacturing facility according to rigid standards and quality control procedures. We expect each product to not only look great and operate smoothly, but also to he extremely well built and to last.

Many companies cut back on the strength and construction of their frame bodies because the mattress hids the bodies. The problem is that wear and tear will eventually cause problems. Strata Furniture uses thicker stretchers and reinforced slats to insure durability and also comfort by supporting the mattress.
