Futon Mattress

Find the perfect rest

No matter what kind of mattress you prefer, there's a perfect futon mattress for you. Whether you like the coziness of a soft mattress or the support of a firm one, you're sure to have sweet dreams on one of many futon mattresses.

Below you'll discover three different types of futon mattress.

Basics of firmness and thickness
 

The futon mattress first graced American homes as an all cotton mattress. Today, manufacturers usually use different combinations of cotton and foam, depending on firmness.

Manufacturers also strive to make today's futon mattress plusher and softer to the touch. This luxurious futon mattress caters to consumers accustomed to more traditional beds.

The futon mattress responds to weight based upon its composition, and each of us has a different definition of the perfect futon mattress. Some prefer a very firm mattress, others a soft or medium one. Despite its varying levels of firmness, the futon mattress still folds into the frame's sitting position, making it truly versatile.

For comfort, your futon mattress should measure a minimum of six inches in depth. Six inches provides adequate cushioning between you and your futon's frame. A thicker, heavier futon mattress adds weight to the frame, requiring a little muscle to convert from sleeper to seated position.

A closer look at mattress firmness

Soft. A soft futon mattress will mold naturally to your body.

Medium. Made especially for futons, the medium mattress is both flexible and built to last. Medium mattresses convert seamlessly from sofa to bed.

Firm. A firm futon mattress reduces motion transfer across the bed. If your partner tosses and turns, you'll especially enjoy a firm futon mattress.
