would a futon mattress cover be useful?

Yes, you just have to cut a whole for the back legs.. We also bought a mattress pad because there's a gap in the middle when u lay it flat.. But my mom sleeps on it a lot vs having it as a couch most the time. Hope that helps

I would definitely recommend a cover. Especially if you have pets or children. I would go as far as keeping it covered most of the time, and perhaps removing cover when you have guests.

A mattress cover? For what reason? If you mean like A fitted sheet it may work but I'm not sure why you would want to. It's not comfortable enough to use as your everyday couch or to sleep on for more than a nap. The point of this piece is the look of it and a cover would change that. Not sure if this is any help at all

Personally I think this a one of the nicer convertible sofas and using a cover would defeat the purpose if having a nicer futon. The leather is soft and easy to clean. It's not really built for extensive use but a great option to have for the occasional guest. I've had this sofa for probably 8 months and its still going strong. If you plan to use it primarily for sleeping I'd recommend a mattress topper as the middle seem can be uncomfortable at times

Yes, mine is white and I have a cover to protect it when an important event comes up I take it off and it looks great.

I can't answer that specifically; the mattress I use it on is Full with a Pillow top -- and it fits very nicely there. My experience with futon mattresses is that they tend to be flatter -- so I cannot accurately tell you if the elastic would pull snug on a flat mattress. Sorry I can't be of more help there.

yes. a full-sized mattress cover fits perfectly, as does a standard full-sized futon cover. it's a wonderful futon. took a day or so to fully "inflate" but it's great! good luck.

I'm only using mine for a massage table but the skirt for the mattress cover is wide and stretchy so it's worth giving it a try.

The cover itself is very thin. --so I would say, 'no.' I would advise covering mattress as soon as it is set-up with a thick quality mattress cover and plan on washing this periodically rather than attempting to wash the thin covering that comes with mattress. --lacking that I would cover it with a queen quality comforter to serve as a protection to the mattress.

I guess you could, but I'm not sure why you'd need one. Standard sheets fit well. Since you can adjust the firmness, you probably don't need a mattress cover. But, it would certainly fit.

I actually put this cover on my box spring. We had a good mattress cover, so I felt that would work for us.

If your question is...would it need an outdoor cover because it will get wet or damp...absolutely yes it would need a cover. It is a futon that is not unlike a big pillow.

Yes, I also have a soft, thin mattress cover protector, along with a sheet over it. It feels great !

1st question: It may work as a futon, but I'm not sure because I haven't tried it. I think a 6 inch mattress may be too thick...4 inches might work better. 2nd question: I think it would last as long as a futon mattress as long as it is covered.

I would say that it totally depends on the mattress. My futon cushion is actually 2 of the Wal-mart cushions from their (crappy) store brand futons, and while it doesn't slide off, it does "bunch" at the hinge in the center. I've compensated for that by hooking the full fitted sheet I use as a cover over the corners of the wooden frame and it's not a big problem.

Hmmm, no definitive answer on that. I 've slept on a Futon so I know what you're talking about. I'm on a seraphina 14 inch gel/foam mattress so I'm super comfy. My inclination would be to add a foam gel topper to your futon over this product.

This is 4.5 inches. You can use it but then you need to check dimensions but I think you should buy something thicker. just search for futon mattresses on amazon.

Flat sheets, as they work best folded under futon military style. A heavy quilted bed cover works great under the mattress to provide an area around the bed for the blankets to touch when not directly on it. It is a way to provide a bedding area when there is no rise/platform.

Sure if the futon's flat...check the measurements! This mattress is best for back-sleepers.

Sure. you will likely want to use a heavy duty cover. Also be advised this mattress is very firm.

This should help to keep an airflow layer between you and the mattress topper.
