Yes, we can! Like all of our other products, the Frontier Futon is available as an easily assembled DIY kit that will arrive to you in two different boxes. Shipping is included in the price for all customers in the lower 48 of the USA!

Like our other products, shipping a fully assembled Frontier Futon is only available to customers willing to pay very high freight shipping charges. It’s unlikely you will want to do this, but if you insist please contact us and we can discuss pricing.

For customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or other countries please contact us to get a custom shipping quote for your location.

What mattress do you recommend for the Frontier Futon?

Camp N Car offers a custom-designed mattress that works perfectly with the Frontier Futon at an additional $590. This mattress is made up of three sections that easily transform between bed and couch mode with the help of heavy duty velcro.

This is a high-quality USA-made mattress that is wrapped with a rugged gray fabric ideal for your adventure. The included mattress has two sides that can be used with two different feels and firmnesses.

You are also welcome to create or find your own mattress! Just keep in mind the dimensions of the Frontier Futon when choosing your own mattress.

How much does the Frontier Futon weigh?

The Frontier Futon weighs about 120 pounds in the base frame, with the mattress adding another 20 or so pounds on top of that. It is surprisingly light considering how heavy-duty and well built it is!

Can the Frontier Futon be used in tiny homes or other spaces than vans?
Absolutely! The Frontier Futon is a great choice for use in a wide variety of spaces, whether it’s in a cargo van, pickup truck, or tiny house. As long as you have a space that can fit the Frontier Futon there’s no reason not to use it!
I need help installing the Frontier Futon, can you assist me?
We would love to help you install the Frontier Futon! For all customers picking their unit up from our shop in Port Townsend, Washington we would be happy to offer a free load in of your Frontier Futon. If you require a more extensive installation process, we will need to charge our hourly shop rate. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about installation assistance of the Frontier Futon!
Why does the Frontier Futon cost this much?
Everything we make is designed with a great deal of thorough engineering and care using advanced software and expensive machinery. From there we pick top quality and sustainable materials and hand craft everything here in Washington State to an extremely high standard. Additionally, our employees are highly skilled craftspeople who are paid living wages and are treated like our family.

The reality of doing all of this means we can’t offer goods that are as cheap as stuff you can buy from overseas manufactures. We are determined to continue being a company that manufactures solely in the United States and supports our local economy. Once you make your purchase you will see the quality and customer care make it all worthwhile!

Can you ship out of the United States? How about Alaska or Hawaii?
Yes, we can! For customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or other countries please contact us to get a custom shipping quote for your location.

What is the weight capacity of the Frontier Futon?
The Frontier Futon is a heavy-duty piece of furniture and can handle a lot of weight! We have thoroughly torture-tested it with lots of people and weight and haven’t been able to break it, but our recommended weight capacity for the Frontier Futon is 1000 pounds.

Keep in mind that the heavy-duty drawer slides that deploy the Frontier Futon into bed mode are rated for 500 pounds, but the deploying support legs add a substantial amount of weight capacity to the overhanging bed area. If you are not using the support legs then you will not want to exceed 500 pounds of weight on the overhanging bed area.

Are you able to share the plans for the Frontier Futon with me?
We do not offer the schematics, plans, or CNC files for any of our products, including the Frontier Futon.
