Some futons are easier to reconfigure
than others. The more difficult (and
more compact) kind could benefit from
a geartrain. Two buttons: "couch",
"bed".
I'm imagining a mechanism like the
one used on modern convertible autos.

Or on the motorized beds you see on TV all the time <In the US, anyway> |

Huh? With a futon, the worst that could happen is that you roll over. A sofabed's another story, but those are actually easier to convert. |
|
| |
If you had *two* people on the futon and set it to "couch", those two people would get a lot closer really quick..... |
|

I love this idea. I've mashed a finger or ten on my own futon so it would be great to use remote control. |

i am afraid you have stumbled upon pure genious without realizing it. motorized futon yes, not to fold and unfold, to drive around town. think of it, you never have to get out of bed! i am starting work on this right away, soon as i get out of bed. |

I think a third button might be in order...the amorphous blob option for carrying it down the stairs of your apartment when you're moving out and you get wedged at the landing and the string you have tied around it breaks and it slowly busts out of itself like a leg that's gone to sleep from lying inactive too long... |

|
| |
