I was thinking of buying 3 of these to go under my new traditional king sized Japanese futon. Any thoughts? Meaning... I would lay 3 of these side by side on the floor which would be 75" long and 81" wide (27x3) I would then lay my japanese futon (king...

They should be long enough -- but they are narrow. You should check that they would collectively fit properly. I don't think you would have a problem with slippage -- and of course not if you were using a frame. I (who weighs 215 lbs) have used one on a carpeted floor lying next to my grandson; and have found the single futon sufficiently comfortable that I fell asleep (in fact, my back felt great). Stacking a king-size on a collection of three should be perfectly comfortable for anyone. I've read over the other comments and they don't make much sense to me. If you want the "comfort" of a regular mattress, you don't buy a futon. The futon's rigidity is good for the back and the "comfort" it provides is in its stability and firmness. Once you get used to it, it's very comfortable to sleep on. A traditional futon over a bed of these futons is definitely enough. Enjoy!

I had a queen size bed base with headboard that was separate. I just donated the base with the mattresses and slipped my queen size Dynasty right in. If you came into my bedroom you would think they came together. My headboard has a flat surface so when the bed is level I can place the controls up there.

I have 2 lined up also. Just make sure you don't hang too much weight from them, as 3 might encourage you to store more on top! And as the other comment indicated, hitting the center of the framing is critical. Have fun!

If you were to put it under sheets and only lay on top of it. I have a californnia king. If its for two people to use you may wanna get two seperate ones. What seems warm to one person may be blazing to the next.

If I understand you correctly, your king size mattress and or box spring is on the floor. My guess is you would want more than 4 so additional support would be placed under the center area. Otherwise, the mattress would sag in the middle. Just sayin...

I only bought two layers. I think if the third one is the same size, it could be stacked up.

The mattress is the full 8" thick-just took a tape measure to it to verify. FYI all futons and mattresses will lose height with use as you're compacting the material - that's why it's good to turn the mattress over and even rotate it end to end periodically to even out the normal wear. This particular futon mattress has an inner spring so it wears more evenly as weight is distributed better than with a non-inner spring futon. I've used futon mattesses for over 30 years and this one's my favorite. I ordered mine last summer - you may want to contact the seller and verify that it's the same product. Hope that helps.

The trick to keeping a traditional Japanese futon in good condition is to air it out and fluff it up regularly, such as once a week or more often if you are worried about mattress compression. They are designed to be thick and comfortable for years when taken care of well. If you are not already used to sleeping without a mattress support like the ones for western beds you may experience discomfort for a while, and if you have specific medical concerns with back pain then you should stick to a western bed or put the futon mattress on a mattress support in a bed frame. This mattress is intended for use on tatami mats, which are a bit softer than western carpet and wood floors!

I bought a queen size for my queen size wooden futon. Its great for bed use. I haven't tried to use it in a futon couch position yet.

Sounds like you are wanting to purchase 2 twin size for a king size bed, which will work but you will have a crevice in the middle of the bed. If you have a mattress cover, put it over the memory foam and then put the sheets on. If you don't have a mattress cover then just put the sheets over the memory foam. Hope this helps some.

This futon is a good size for small spaces. The back has several angle positions but it is very firm so keep in mind that this is not as comfortable as a conventional sofa. You might consider a love seat instead that will fit well in a small area and offer more comfort.

I did just that. Bought two to fit under a full size futon. My futon cover happened to be oversized, though, so I put these inside with the futon. For that reason, I can't say if they'll slip out. It is super comfy though. I got the idea because the J-life web site sells these for just that purpose but in larger sizes at a greater price.

This is a really good question. I didn't check on the website--silly me--and assumed it would fit my Ikea futon, which I always assumed was a regular full-size, but it's too short and I ripped it finding that out. I think I needed an XL.EDIT: Yes, for the information of anyone who is looking to cover their Ikea LOVAT futon, they are 80" long and require an XL.

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!

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.

I like this style of pull-out and am not put off by its firmness, however I need a sofa that is less than 80"... the measurements say 73" wide, but other websites have the EXACT same one and says it actually measures 83", I'm worried this wont fit in the spot we have for it. Would someone please do me a HUGE favor to measure yours and tell me exactly what it measures across, widest part? Would be so very very happy if you could help! Thank you,

I just got mine today and am using them for that very reason. They fit great between my mattress and headboard. I can fit them different ways depending if I want a flat surface or a slight wedge. They fit in a regular pillow case and I just wrapped the excess material around or you can let it hang behind, no one will see.
