Futon Mattresses

1. Futon mattresses are made of a supportive foam core surrounded by layers of cotton or polyester material that provides softness. Futon mattresses should be at least 6-8 inches thick for adequate comfort and support.

2. Breathable futon mattresses made of an innerspring coil system surrounded by layers of foam and polyester materials will provide a cooler sleeping surface than solid foam futon mattresses.

3. If your futon is used only occasionally, it might not be necessary to buy top quality futon mattresses. If you sit or sleep on your futon every day, however, you'll appreciate the comfort and support that the best futon mattresses provide.

4. Some styles of futon mattresses are designed to fit all sizes of futon frames. Other futon mattresses are available in king, queen, and twin sizes to fit specific frames.

5. To best match your preferred sleeping surface, soft, medium, and firm futon mattresses are available.

6. Futon grip strips are an inexpensive and handy accessory that will keep futon mattresses from sliding out of place on the futon frame.

7. Lightweight but durable, top quality futon mattresses will stay soft and supportive long after you buy them, providing you a comfortable seat or restful night's sleep for many years to come.
