6 Inch Coil Futon Mattress, Futon Frame Not Included, Black Microfiber

This futon mattress is used primarily as a futon sofa on the lower level of my daughter's bunk bed. When guests spend the night, we use the futon as a bed. This 6" futon mattress is more ideal than the 8" version if the futon is frequently used as a sofa. The reason I say this - when you fold the 8", it is so thick that it starts to slide off the frame. The 6" folds up a little easier and is less prone to sliding. If you are sleeping on the 8", it is extremely comfortable. The 6" is reasonably comfortable to sleep on and I think is a better compromise. Both have a good appearance.

Bought this to replace the mattress from a used futon I purchased. I was concerned it would be too large for my standard sized futon, but it fit like a charm. I was also concerned the inner springs would be uncomfortable, not so. It replaces a non-spring mattress so it is not "as comfortable" as a lump of foam, but it is certainly comfortable enough, and is more firm than the foam. And when the futon is laid flat, this mattress is unmatched in comfort. Pic is below. I would not hesitate to purchase this if you want a value. One tip, when unpacking, be careful when cutting the outer wrapping. I used a box-cutter and almost ended up cutting the mattress. There is no real protection around the mattress other than plastic wrap.
