Also, has anyone used this on a traditional Japanese mattress/shiki futon?

I USE IT ON A TRADITIONAL MATTRESS. IT GIVES ME QUITE COMFORTABLE SLEEP. FOR YOUR FUTON, it depends on how much extra padding you are looking for. This one is not overly deep, but I think there's a 3 inch version (more expensive) if you wanted even deeper padding.

Yes, this would work well. I use mine with nothing on it but a sheet, and the floor it's on is tile, and I'm quite comfortable that way. If you like a really squashy mattress, though, then yes you could certainly add a foam topper or double up with another shikibuton.

thanks for the tip. I ordered it and will put in a review if it works well on a memory foam topper.

I washed my mattress cover for the same size Sleep Innovations mattress with no problems whatsoever, twice. I was scared to put it in the dryer but it came out clean and soft just as any other laundry would. I did not use any bleach though.

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.

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.

That shikibuton mattress separated would not be a shikibuton mattress at all -- you would have something entirely different so rather look for this original thing, which is quite possibly "zabuton" and this should point you towards what you have selected. If you are good at seam ripping and sewing, you could seam-rip the seems of the three pieces of the shikibuton and sew the ripped seems of each foam section's cover together thus making three zabutons, but this would require some liking of tedious work and good scrutiny!

I use a standard twin, off the shelf sheet set on my 10 inch mattress and I have had no problems what so ever. If anything, it seems like the fitted sheet stays in place better than it did on my previous traditional mattress.

I would recommend getting some Otis grip strps, this will help in keeping the mattress in place. I am very happy with the tri fold futon. Our mattress sticks up higher on the back, but does not fold over. I'm guessing it would depend on the type and quality of your mattress.

It's not very thick and is regular foam not the type that conforms to your body. That being said I have used it on a very uncomfortable futon and it helped a lot to make it more comfortable. If the person using it is not very heavy it may work.

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

I was wondering the same thing, and it looks like the answer is most likely yes. One reviewer mentioned that the same product is sold in ebay, and that product description states that there is an inch foam at the center and that the mattress meets California flame retardant bulletin.

Sure, and I agree because this Malouf is just a common mattress cover with somewhat tighter sides although I do not have a thick, deep mattress so I don't know how it would work on those newer ones, either.

I have memory foam mattress, it's bit harder then regular foam mattresses and it works. Eventually I'll use it on the floor when I'll get use to it more. Thanks!

I would say that it totally depends on the mattress. My futon cushion is actually 2 of the Wal-mart cushions from their (crappy) store brand futons, and while it doesn't slide off, it does "bunch" at the hinge in the center. I've compensated for that by hooking the full fitted sheet I use as a cover over the corners of the wooden frame and it's not a big problem.

I have used it with Presta and Shrader. Haven't used it for air mattresses or anything like that, though. Just bike tires.

I did but I guess it is not necessary. The Material is a very dense White Foam Rubber, it has a slight tacky feel to it but not really sticky.The foam also is not slippery and will not slide on top of the mattress, at least mine didn't.
