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!
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.
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!
We do not offer the schematics, plans, or CNC files for any of our products, including the Frontier Futon.

Awesome product perfect fit 2025 ford trasit passenger van save lots of room especially small van recommended
I love my Frontier Futon from Camp N Car! A bed/couch is one of the most important purchase for a van build out and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! It’s easy to open and close and it frees up so much space compared to my last van that had a static bed. It was intuitive to assemble and the customer service has been next level. Highly recommend!
Removed RV couch/bed and replaced with this - game changer! Assembly no problem, but made easier with my son that has a history with Legos (put hardware in separate containers to keep organized, and accessible) Cushions are comfy and a 6'3" person can lay diagonally comfortably on the 68" long version. Only had one quick question, and response was immediate. Thank you!
The Frontier Futon is a beautifully made product and works so nicely in my 2021 medium roof Ford Transit. I really like being able to comfortably hang out in my van during the day when the weather is bad and have used the couch mode so much. The mattress that is included is honestly really comfy too, I was surprised, it's a lot better than any normal futon I've ever slept on. It's so well made, not cheaply built at all, you won't regret buying it!
Outstanding craftsmanship and customer service. I am so pleased with my Frontier Futon! Worth every penny.
