Return To Futons FAQ Archive   What size futon mattress should I buy? Answered By Editor The tradtional futon is a bi-fold style that goes from an upright position to a flat sleeping position. The mattress is about the same size as a full sized bed. Over the years as futons have become more popular, this had changed. Now, there are trifold and platform futons, and most futons can come in single, twin, full, queen, and even king mattress sizes. If you are sleeping with a partner, buy the biggest futon mattress you can afford. Never choose one that is smaller than a queen size. Consider that you will be spending over a third of your life in your futon. Take your partner along with you when you select your futon mattress. Decide how and how often the futon mattress will be used. If the futon will only be used on occasion for overnight guests, a standard futon mattress should suffice. However, if the futon mattress will be used for sleeping on a regular basis, invest in a thicker, higher quality mattress. When purchasing a futon mattress, you also need to consider its thickness. You need a mattress that is at least six inches thick, and thicker if it will be your primary sofa or bed. Choose a thicker foam core with cotton polyester blend batting if the futon mattress will be used as a bed on a regular basis. A thicker futon mattress provides more comfortable sleeping for most people. It will also fold well without sagging and hold up well to everyday use. The rule is, the thicker you can afford, the better. keywords: Futon | Futons | Furniture | Mattress | Sofa Bed | Bedding | Futon Mattress Black Futon Bunkbed
