Is good with 8'' foam mattress?

I think it would be fine... The foam matress we have on our frame is 12" but it would still sit high enough off of the ground with an 8 inch matress. Functionally, I don't think the thickness of the matress would make too much of a difference.

Yes , that is how I prefer it, as it makes the seating posture higher; When used as a bed I suggest at least an 8" or 10 " good mattress since there are spaced slots on the futon.

Our mattress is 8" and it fits great. It is not tucked in. It hangs over the bed skirt by an inch or two. It looks very nice, fits well, and is machine washable!

I'm using a regular, inexpensive twin mattress, so I can't be sure. But, for what it's worth, here's my advice. I would think, if your foam mattress is a good quality fairly dense, and at least 6" high, then it would be fine. You may also want to consider the weight of potential users. If you're planning on having young children use it occasionally, then you can get by with something of lesser quality. They seem to be able to sleep anywhere. If it's to be used by teens or adults, then they would appreciate better quality. So, I guess you just have to decide who's going to be using it and how long you'd like them to stay!

6" is plenty for us- remember futons are very heavy-if you intend to flip the mattress over occasionally (which I suggest you do) it can be a real pain. 6", 8" , it is all about person comfort. For us 6" was plenty

I have an 8" foam mattress on ours. When no one is laying in the bed there is about 4 - 5 inches from the top of the mattress to the top of the railing. The mattress sinks down some when you lay on it so it is ok for our 7 1/2 years old.

I use a 6-inch foam pad. If you use an 8 inch mattress, there will be ~5 in space to the top.

I think it would be okay for the bottom if you plan to put the matress on the floor. The top recommends no higher than 8 inches and I would say that is the appropriate size.

Good idea in theory. My concern would be the mattress spacing in the middle. Could a foam form be placed to fill the few inches? If not, I would wonder if the mattresses would move.

The way the mattress is made, the foam mattress will be ok. That one inch or so isnt going to affect it. It doesnt have springs or coils so it is very flexible. It was sent to me in a. 12In x12in x5 ft box. I personaly think it is very comfortable,

Mine was a love seat, it was perfect. It was very comfortable. It is not a sofa bed, but you could sleep on it. I am sure it will work, with 5 8".

I put a six inch mattress and it fits great with some room left to spare. I would not go bigger than 8 inches and that may be a forced fit to slide it under the main bed.

It does pop up to the full eight inches so as long as you have enough of a clearance to fit the 8 you'll be fine. If you have a very sturdy platform it will be fine - the mattress is sturdy. Not sure how it would feel on an springs...hope that helps!

It would be advisable to have both a box spring and a frameIf you don't have a frame, then just put it on top of the boxspringYou do realize that you will be lower to the floor without the frame If money is tight you can get the frame later. I bought both the 8", and the 12". The smaller one for my travel trailer and the larger one for home. I personally would recommend the 12" for home. I hope this helps you. I just love the foam mattress, you get a much better sleep at a fraction of the cost of a commercial mattress.

We use a standard mattress on ours and for us, the height is fine. I suppose you could put a box spring under the foam mattress to make it higher.

My very old mattress with a foam topper is about 8 inches thick. It could easily fit a mattress 11 or 12 inches thick. Hope that helps.

I got a 6 inch memory foam mattress, I had a queen type bed like this, the 6 inch ok but you might want an 8 inch or deeper
