Abstract

A futon bed includes two bed boards. The two bed boards are divided into a mattress and a backrest cushion. Each of the two bed boards includes a bed board frame, a plurality of elastic units, and one or more buckling members. An upper cover and a base of each of the plurality of elastic units respectively comprise a locking member and a locking matching member. Each of the one or more buckling members includes one or more releasing portions each of which has an insertion position and a separate position. At the insertion position, the locking member is fixed in a locking position. At the separate position, the locking member is separated from the locking position. The backrest cushion can be in a horizontal state to define a second mattress, and the backrest cushion can be in a vertical state to enable the futon bed to be a sofa.
