Futon Mattresses: Then and Now When futons first appeared in the U.S., futon mattresses were usually made of all cotton. Present day manufacturers typically use some combination of cotton and foam to create a futon mattress that meets a firmness code. Generally, the firmer the mattress, the more foam content. Additionally, many futon mattresses are now being made to be plusher and softer to the touch. These are made to be premium mattresses. The plusher, premium futon mattresses are for the mainstream customer who is used to the conventional mattress seen in most brick and mortar stores. Composition and Firmness Futon mattresses respond to weight based upon their composition. Futon mattresses are versatile because they can take some bending to accommodate the seating position of the futon frame, but have varying levels of firmness to accommodate each futon owner's preferences.

Luxurious Softness
A minimum of a 6-inch thickness is required for comfort. Six inches will provide adequate cushioning between the futon user and the futon frame. Thicker futon mattresses are heavier, adding weight to the futon mattress from sleeper to seating position.

Medium Firm
Futon mattresses graded medium firm are resilient and stand up to years of use. These futon mattresses are user-friendly, too, and work quite well for combination sofa/bed futon frames. Converting from a futon into a bed and back into a sofa has never been easier!

Firm Futon Mattresses
You and your guests will feel the difference of a firm futon mattress. A firm futon mattress reduces motion transfer across the bed. You will enjoy undisturbed sleep that a firm futon mattress provides.
