cotton mattress: However, does it become flat on daily use as it is filled with 100% cotton?

I wouldn't think that it would flatten. Many people use futons on a daily basis, made of the same materials (often 3" thick), and with regular care they last for several years. I just ordered one, I'll try to post a review once I get it and try it out for a while.

No.it is pretty good and doesn't squish much. Very comfortable to make a mattress.

Well it's just like sleeping on a regular mattress.... Once it expands, it stays that way (like a regular, normal mattress). It's just the way it's packed for shipment that makes u wonder how it's a matress...

No. It is a flat pad that lays on top of the mattress. Your fitted sheet holds it in place. (Mine doesn't move around very much at all.)

A thick matress is all I remember and I used it everyday for about a year and it stayed comfortable. I didn't feel any springs if there were any. The mattress is supported by thick wooden slates. At the time of ownership, I was 250lbs. As this is supposed to be a rollout and I used it everyday combined w/my weight, the wooden supports sagged somewhat and created s sort of minor bowl effect. I contacted the company and they simply adked me how many replacement wooden support slates I needed and they sent it out immediately w/o charge. It was like new after the replacementd were put in. I found it comfortable and easily rolled-away when not in use.

Be sure to lay it out on a flat surface for about 24 hours. It should flatten out ok. Mine was shipped in a box and the mattress was pretty much rolled in a ball. I honestly don't see how they got it like that but it was ok within 24 hours.

I really like this futon mattress it is very comfey and is well made. It has not squished down but we do not sleep on it alot so I really dont know if it will if it were used more often.

My experience (using the mattress full-time) is that it won't explode, but if you apply too much pressure (or too heavy a person sleeping on it) for too long, the internal gussets will break loose, causing a bulge which is impossible to sleep on.

No. It lies flat on the mattress and needs a "fitted sheet type of bedding item to hold everything together. I wanted a softer surface to accommodate an old back injury and it did the job. KRJ

We've left ours inflated since we got it in early April - 2 months ago. It became a little softer, but I think that's because it's new and hasn't been inflated before, all the little wrinkles are smoothed out by the air now. It seems just fine, but we use it only once in a while maybe once a week, not every night. I don't think it is meant to be used daily like a regular mattress.

Although my quilt is packed away until summer, I remember that it is not 100% cotton. I believe it is a combination of cotton and synthetic. Maybe fill is cotton and fabric is polyester or the other way around.

yes..remember tho.. allow a day or two for the mattress to air out and to "inflate" to it full size.. sleeps very good!

It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain. I used to get a platform made of several pieces of hard wood and put a comforter (made of cotton) on it. That was very firm and sometimes can be a little bit uncomfortable. This one is thick with good balance between softness and firmness. When it came, it was a little bit too puffy that I thought. But it gets better after some days. It is stuffed with cottons and very heavy. I'm satisfied with the quality of this mattress and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a mattress that is good to your back. So far, this is my favorite mattress.

Yes, it does lie flat. I've had mine for about 3 years now and it's still looking good, strong and working well.

Mine does not do this. It is left unfolded on a high, deep shelf over our washer and dryer, though, so that would tend to help it to lie flat.

Yes, this mattress has inflated to full 6 inches. I am using for last 6 months, till now it is working fine. It has not shrink.

We are not having any issues with this mattress. The way you would contour it is by the amount of water that is put in the mattress. If you like it firm add more water. Just do not fill over the sides of the bed.
