Is this good to put on your futon?

I would think it would definitely make a futon mattress more comfortable. In my experience, futons are rather dense and unyielding. I used mine on a very hard mattress on a rented hospital bed. I would not have been able to sleep without it.

We have it on an air bed and everyone loves it. It can only make your futon more comfortable.

you need to put something down first. You will need a futon cushion, and then it might be a pain in the ass to attatch the sleep pad to the cushion. The topper isn't thick enough and you'll feel the bars.

The high density foam was disappointing. It really isn't that dense at all. We bought it to top a futon mattress. We sleep on it regularly and it works pretty well on top of the futon mattress. I'm a side sleeper and my arm and leg would go numb just sleeping on top of the futon mattress, that is no longer a problem with the topper on it now. I'm not quite sure what to tell you except that it isn't really dense, but pretty comfortable. I attribute the firmness to it being on top of a futon. Good luck!

Hard to tell. You would not be able to keep this on the futon, that is, you would have to take off to fold up futon. If futon is REALLY uncomfortable, I don't think it will make it that much better. Hope this helps.

I use this futon on my hardwood floors for occasional overnight guests or for extra lounging space while watching TV. I'm not sure if you have carpeting where you live, but I think the carpeting factor might make more a difference than the futon itself. This, as well as the frequency that you plan on sleeping on it will make or break your opinion on it. Also, when you say optimal comfort, do you mean something that will give you firm support or soft support? I would say that my set-up provides firm support, but it does not feel like you're digging your hip into the floor when sleeping on your side. It was definitely a great price for the size and quality. I hope this helps! I use this futon on my hardwood floors for occasional overnight guests or for extra lounging space while watching TV.

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!!

Well I threw it on top of my old box springs that we put some plywood down on. I don't see why you couldn't do that on the futon.

I guess it could be but I may not recommend it if you will be folding it when use your futon in it seating position. If your futon bed is always going to be at the laying down position, it would work and be more comfortable.

The correct answer is NO. I bought this mattress for the exact purpose of putting on a futon and am disappointed with the results. Folding up into couch position is fine (the mattress is very squishy) and lying on the mattress in bed form is OK (I weigh 190 lbs and could *maybe* feel the futon slats underneath, but not too bad). The issue is that when folded into couch form and you sit on it *you will feel the slats on your butt*. It is not comfortable. I really wish I'd gotten the 8-inch mattress instead, but I'm not even sure that would have been enough. Edit: My futon is one of the nice wooden ones with lots of slats. If you have a cheap metal futon, this will not work AT ALL. The correct answer is NO. I bought this mattress for the exact purpose of putting on a futon and am disappointed with the results.

I don't think it would make it feel like a bed but It should make it more comfortable. You would have to remove it in order to use the futon to sit on. It comes in a nice case that you could put it in but it is very bulky so it will take a little time to get it folded up and stored that way

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.

Don't worry about that, I would NOT purchase this it has about 5 rips in it already and Ive only had it a few months, the first rip started after one month. I hope this helps but I give this futon a -1. I hope this has helped

No. It will hang over so much you won't be able to get on it. If you push it up against a couch, so some of it is on the couch and some on the cot, it still doesn't work. I tried it. Also tried with a single futon on top. It still formed a gutter. I returned the item.

It doesn't seem like you would need them. The futon held up well and I didn't feel any unevenness.

I have a queen sized bed so I bought the queen one. It depends I guess on the size of your futon. If the queen us too big for that but standard is too small. You can always cut it to fit. Though I would be careful doing that, as it's very thick. But that might help!

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.

I haven't tried putting it on a futon frame, but I think so. It's pretty thick and heavy. I've used it on a twin bed frame and it was super comfortable. I've also just had it on the floor and that was fine too.

it's definitely better than a futon mattress, but it doesn't bend very well, so if you just laying flat, it will be perfect for it!
