The difficulty arises in finding a lower priced frame without, completely, sacrificing quality.  Purchasing a cheap frame that only lasts a short time is not a bargain.  Quality construction is as important as cost.  Futon frames are, typically, made of wood or metal.  With wood frames, the type of wood (pine, poplar, oak, etc.) varies and should be considered.  The mechanisms (hinges, bolts, wood dowels, etc.) are vital in using the futon.  These should be checked to ensure easy position changes and stability.  With metal frames, the type of metal and the gauge of the metal, the mechanisms, and the finish (polished, painted, chrome, etc.) are essential points to consider.
