08 Apr 09 Finding The Right Futon Mattress

In purchasing a mattress for your futon, there are a few things you need to consider. Such as, is your first purpose comfort when the mattress is used as a bed, or better functionality for the unit to be used as a couch or chair? Because that’s going to be your driving force in deciding exactly what sort of mattress is going to best fit your needs. While all futon mattresses are designed to function as both a place to sleep, and also a piece of furniture, you’ll find some are better suited than others to each task.

As a general rule, no matter what use you’re looking to use as the mattresses main function, you want to look for a mattress about 7-9 inches in thickness. Anything thicker than that and you’ll start to compromise the effectiveness of being able to easily fold and convert your futon into a comfortable piece of furniture.

There are three main types of futon mattresses to choose from, each with their own function, and each with their own advantages and disadvantages for multiple uses. The first of which is the foam/cotton interior mattress, easy to fold and form into a very comfortable seating area, and also a very comfortable bed. The only problem is that these types of mattresses tend to flatten out the longer they are in use, meaning if your futon is strictly a guest seating area or bed, foam/cotton is perfect, but if you’re going to use the futon as your main sleeping area, this may not be the best choice.

The second common mattress type is innerspring, which is perfect for sleeping, as the mattress contains springs similar to a normal bed’s mattress. Making it extremely comfortable and durable to sleep on, but also meaning if you have a futon that requires a mattress to fold more than one time in conversion from bed to lounger, you’d have a hard time bending the innersprings to your will. Great for sleeping, not so much for using as a couch or chair.

And then there’s the third type, memory foam futon mattresses, which are probably the best overall, though they can tend to be pricier. Memory foam, unlike innerspring or cotton, is meant to contour to your body shape, but to then return to it’s original shape when not in use. Meaning the padding will never compress into a thinner more uncomfortable layer, and is also easy to fold and maneuver as you convert your futon between both a bed and a couch.
