Has anyone had success putting this mattress on a futon frame? Do you think that would work? I don't plan on folding into a couch, just for a bed.

I have not. As long as you don't try to fold it I can see why it would not work unless the frame is not sturdy.

I didn't try on a futon, but if the dimensions are right, I believe it will work, just as a bed. Mine is on a platform bed (no springbox) and it woks fine.

I put this mattress on top of another spring mattress originally, on a hard futon frame. However, the spring mattress just made the whole bed jiggley. Mattress is lower, but perfectly comfortable on just the hard frame. In every sense except added height, the futon frame acts just as a box-spring.

The frame is not bad. Just a couple of wingnuts. The matress would be a bigger hassle in my opinion. I'd go with a rollaway couch or futon unless you want to put into storage when not in use.

Sorry - no. Just as in the picture - the arms are adjustable. At 90 degree angles it is 50 and 1/2 inches (couch position) on the metal frame - so even if you squeeze the futon mattress to 48 the frame won't fit. The mattress is 72 inches unfolded. I measured it for you with a tape measure to be sure.

I don't believe so. It is a typical spring mattress and does not readily fold. It comes compressed and rolled up, but as soon as you release it from its bindings it quickly springs open and inflates. It would not work with a futon, I believe.

I have this frame...I use a boxspring with it, but I guess you could use only a mattress. I don't know, it might sag though. I really love this frame!

If the mattress has springs and it is not a futon matress the mattress will not fold. The mattress that is featured with the futon frame is a firm comfortable mattress that is high quality.

it's definitely better than a futon mattress, but it doesn't bend very well, so if you just laying flat, it will be perfect for it!

I would check the dimensions to see if the mattress would fit. If the size is not an issue, I would definitely go for it. It is a nice mattress and would make a decent guest sleeping area. The only hesitation I would have is this mattress, when folded, is about 13 inches thick, so I don't know if you are thinking of leaving it on the sofa permanently, if so, I'm not sure it will be what you want. I use it as a bed on the floor for my granddaughter when she comes to visit. She does like having her own bed. I hope this is helpful.

I used a regular bed frame and it works perfectly fine for me. I also used a traditional mattress without any problems. Hopefully that helps.

No! At least, I was unable to accomplish folding it. In my case this was not a big deal as my intention was to keep the futon base in an open, "bed" position, but if you plan on folding up the futon, good luck...and let ME know how you did it

Nope. The mattress is 10"s think and not soft enough to be 'bendable'- the futon frame could work as a base, but it won't fold.It's not hard, just kinda dreamy - I love it!

i doubt that it will fold up easily in a futon. it will work as a bed - but it's really thick and would be nearly impossible to fold. i think the same company makes a thinner mattress though - that might work.

I had a queen mattress which I bought this frame for. The queen is about a foot too long so get the next size smaller mattress. The queen still works but it sticks up above the backrest one foot when set up as a couch.

Jonah, Although it is soft, it would not stay "folded" in the seated position. Also, because it is memory foam it would compress around the support bars. I would not recommend it for a futon.

Our beds could fit in a futon couch frame if the dimensions are the exact same. However, our beds are not able to easily fold up in half horizontally because of the firmness of the bed.

It takes a futon mattress the same size as whatever size the frame is. Mine is a twin frame with a twin futon mattress. It does not need a tri fold mattress. The thickness and the quality of the mattress determine the comfort of the seat and bed. If the mattress is too thick it will be hard to fold and too thin, it will be a bit uncomfortable. I have a 4 inch futon twin mattress and can feel the slats underneath but it is really easy to fold to use a a seat (I use mine primarily as a bed). Hope this is helpful.

I don't think it would make a good futon mattress because of its thickness and firmness. I don't think you would be able to fold it like a regular futon mattress. If you left it as a bed all the time it would work great.
