Can this be used on a futon frame?

It's only about 3 inches thick. Futon cushions are about twice that thickness.

I'm guessing here as I haven't tried it- I bet it would be fine when laid flat on frame as a bed- if there's enough support. But it wouldn't be able to sit up by itself as a couch when bed is flipped up, would be too floppy I think. That said, we have pulled it off the sofa fold out before and put it next to the kids bed in bedroom on floor for sleepovers- it really is quite comfortable even if only a few inches thick.

Yes you can use it on an adjustable frame, as long as the frame is big enough. I used it on a "portable frame" and it is amazingly comfortable and supportive.

Yes...being used on a full/queen frame with a full size foundation. Works perfectly

This is a regular mattress for a bed. It could possibly fit on a futon frame, but it would never have the bend of a mattress designed for a futon.

I put my futon mattress directly on the slats, without adding any plywood or anything else. I find that the bed frame is able to support the futon mattress very well and is very comfortable. I was very pleased with this frame which I have been using for about 2 years.

Sure as long as the leg of the futon frame comes down straight into the riser and isn't at an angle. Occasionally check the wear and tear on the risers. I've never had a problem with any furniture weight carried by the risers.

Not sure, but the frame is certainly sturdier than my other futon. I would recommend either a 10" or 12" pad for comfort though.

After its reached it full thickness it will not be flexible enough to use for a futon. It will just slide off since its lightweight.

Yes you can. Once you transition the futon into a bed position the Memory Foam Mattress works very well on a futon. I had the same problem with my futon (metal frame) in which the metal bars where pushing up into my back. While I did not use the Memory Foam Mattress on my futon (returned the futon), I did utilize it on a military metal bunk in Afghanistan. When I left there I donated the mattress to a co-worker.

i do not see why not. We have a hard futon which is hard to sleep on but my son put this on the futon and now he can sleep very nicely . I think it will definetly help. That sofa futon is hard to even sit on. I hope it answers your question and definely worth a try and much chaper than buying a bed. Let me know if you try it. I think Amazon will take it back as they have best return policy of anyone I know of just save the packaging

If you have a nice thick mattress to distribute the weight a bit, it should be fine, IMO. Super thin futon would probably not be so good... I broke a slat on mine by putting all my weight on the weakest spot 1/4 of the way in from the edge, not a dive onto the bed exactly, but not the gentlest maneuver. We just have a thin futon and a topper. They sent me a new slat and I've been more respectful, so all good.

No, your best bet would be using this for a standard full size futon frame. Because of the coils, the mattress is only flexible enough for one fold.

cross-slats are 4" apart. there's a center-beam running up the middle, too. a futon mattress would probably be just fine. if it ends up feeling lumpy, a sheet of plywood could be laid down first. 'hope this helps!

Yes. That is the size of the futon mattress that I am using on this frame. It fits perfectly.

IF you are just using it as a bed I don't see why not, if it's folding into a couch, maybe not, matress may be too thick, I think they make memory foam mattresses just for futons though .

We think so. We used it to attach a queen-size headboard to full size frame and it worked like a charm. Good luck!

If you are putting it on a frame, then yes. Get a low profile box spring. If you are putting it on a bed with a flat base, then no.
