I dont think it has buttons. I grew up sleeping on futon and this one is pretty comfortable. I would say this one is denser and thinner than regular futon mattress. Regular ones are thick and too soft for me.

The biggest difference, honestly, is this is designed to go on the floor and be rolled up afterward. There are no buttons. I sleep on mine every night. This style of sleeping takes getting used to. You either like it or you don't. I personally love mine. I think it's the most comfortable thing in the world. Then again, I've slept this way for almost 10 years.

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.

My mattress is by itself on a futon frame. Other reviewers have no box spring. Softness is fully adequate, but one is fully aware of the general firmness due to no box spring. No you do not need a box spring.Amazon offers several very inexpensive frames.

It's a much different feel than memory foam. I have purchased two on Amazon, not from this particular vendor. Both of them came with covers. I absolutely love sleeping on it. Difficult to say whether the feel is softer or firmer than memory foam. Don't worry about it being too firm, not the case at all. We bought king size for our bed and it is heavy. Initially getting it unpackaged and set up is easier with two people. The second one we purchased was for my 80 year old mother, she says it feels like heaven.

Firmer, but this is not a memory foam mattress. It's similar to a futon mattress.

This mattress is quilted on both sides, one side is a tack and jump quilting which gives a little softer feel and the other side is a continuous quilt which is a firmer feel. This is how you get the 12 different levels of firmness. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you

It is quite comfortable for sleeping. There is plenty of room and it does work very well for the occasional guest. In fact, I have just ordered the chaise lounge that matches the futon.

Does a normal 8 inch futon mattress fit on this frame?YES Also, what is the weight limit? There will be a 340 lb person sleeping on it regularly. I am not sure

It is firm but resilient - unlike a futon mattress - so where the prominent parts of your body press on it, it gives slightly. Note that this is not the same as sagging, which it does not do at all. We have the 10" one (sold directly by the company), and it is amazingly comfortable.

It would probably depend on the futon frame. Is it the same size so that the mattress has support on all sides? You don't want it hanging over the edge. Does your futon have wood slats or metal? Mine is on a platform metal frame with wood slats. I read somewhere that the wood slats should be a certain distance apart. If the futon fits the bill then go for it. You can't go wrong with the mattress, it is great!!

It's isn't very firm.. Yet comfortable. I use to mattresses on my futon as my bed.. I put thick cardboard between springs and mattresses.

We bought the foam mattress and returned it. It was loud! We spent the few extra bucks and bought the inner spring mattress and our baby sleeps in it with no problems.

Honestly, I don't think you will. I weigh near 200 and the best way I can describe the feel is "dense" - that is to say, you don't have the loose or sinking feeling that most futon mattresses . It isn't so much firm like sleeping on a board, but firm like resistant. I do not feel the coils AT ALL and am a VERY active sleeper, changing positions frequently.

The short answer: no. My wife and I looked for a sleeper bed that we liked for months. After deciding that traditional sleeper sofas weren't for us (we find them generally ugly and uncomfortable) we settled on this one. It was a little more than we wanted to spend but we have really liked it so far. It opens up to give guests a lot of space and with a cheap foam topper it is pretty comfy if you like a firmer bed. This was the only one that we could find that had a click clack style back and a pull out leg part. I think if you want one that is fabric you may need to get a traditional one or get a cover. We've had ours now for 6 months and have really liked it. The short answer: no. My wife and I looked for a sleeper bed that we liked for months.

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.

No it is definately not foam. It is 7"-7 1/2" of stuffing. Not sure what kind but it is sturdy. And comfortable. My friend slept like a baby in it for a week and he is 6'2" at 220lbs. Best futon mattress I've come across yet.

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.
