Does this futon have a way to lock it in the sofa position so that leaning back in it won't make it start flattening out in bed mode?

Yep, it actually has 3 positions. Bed mode, Sofa mode, and a leaned back sofa mode I call perfect slouch mode to totally take a nap on, on the weekend mode. It makes this awesome little gap you kinda roll into and no light gets through. It locks in by pulling it up and putting it into the sofa mode first, and then you have to kinda play with it again to get the second position. It is easiest to do with either two people or the bedding part off. I've had the frame for about three years now and i've yet to have issues with it.

Yes..there are "notched out" pieces that holds it uptight in place. To open it into bed mode you have to lift up from the front seat area while pushing the back for it to open. It will not open open on its own from sitting on it. Actually the first few times I opened it it was a bit awkward. Trust me..I have not had any regrets with this frame or matrass I purchased.

yes. there are two sofa positions, one leaned back more and one pretty upright. both of the positions lock. you have to pull on the bottom to get it to the bed position; leaning back won't do it.

Yes it locks in place, I use it in my motorhome high above the two front seats where I used to have the big clunky TV. I have 31" LCD there now, When closed it is 3" from the wall to the back of the TV

Mine does not do this. It is left unfolded on a high, deep shelf over our washer and dryer, though, so that would tend to help it to lie flat.

It does lock out at full extension. It doesn't really lock in, but it isn't loose in a way where that would matter.

Doesn't need locked in. The weight of the tv keeps it from moving much. I just moved it up or down and then left and right when I installed it and have not moved it since. Very heavy duty and does the job.

Yes it doesn't let you lean all the way down, like a bed. It only goes part way, but I find it comfortable for my lower back problem.

It rocks backwards, but there's not a way to lock it into a reclining position. You may, however, lock it into its upright position if yours has a tilt-limiter.

No. It is a flat pad that lays on top of the mattress. Your fitted sheet holds it in place. (Mine doesn't move around very much at all.)

I have not had any issues with the mattress sliding when in the sofa position. I left my frame unfinished though and it is not as slippery as a urethane finish.

I have a sleep # / Adjustable bed and I just leaned it up against the wall at head of the bed. When the bed is flat it rests against the headboard and when head is raised it stays leaned in place against the wall as long as no one moves the headboard it's fine. It has been that way for over a year with no problem.

No it does not. it compresses and snaps right back once you open the sofa bed

I sit it upright on the sofa sometimes and it stays put, but agree with other people, best to use hanging strips or hooks.

Mine is at my cabin so I can't see it right now, but I don't remember there being any brackets. Also mine is used only as a bed so it's open all the time. I have another futon used as a couch. It's a little different than this one. It does not have brackets either, but the mattress miraculously stays put. If you look at the picture of the futon you're asking about, see how the seat area slants downward toward the fold? So basically where your knees bend over the edge, its a little higher than the fold/hinge area. I think that downward slant toward the back fold is kind of helping keep it in place. Hopefully someone using this as a sofa can help more! Mine is at my cabin so I can't see it right now, but I don't remember there being any brackets.

I do not believe so the only lock I've found is the lock to prevent you from leaning back.

It does not lock in place, just folds from one position to the other. It's pretty secure. We've all all manners of shapes, sizes and ages on them and not had any issues.

It locks to keep it from telescoping out but it will still move from side to side. I really haven't had a problem with mine. I just push it back flush against the wall. given the size tv it's made for I would'nt think it would be a problem

the mattress is permanently fixed to the frame, so you can't rotate it. That means you cannot change the orientation of the lounge position. I think this is because the frame isn't your normal futon frame with slats or bars - it appears to be 1 large plastic platform piece..
