Could this mattress be used on a futon frame?

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.

Yes, that's just how we used it. The futon frame was pretty stable, bit it fit well. Mattress is on the firm side but very comfortable.

To wrap up everyone else's answers: Yes it can be used as a futon bed mattress, however you won't be able to fold the futon back into a "sitting/couch" position because the mattress is much too thick and heavy.

Yes. That's just what we put it on. It's also quite comfortable. It's not terribly soft but we love a medium to firm bed. We loved it.

This mattress is way to thick and heavy for a futon, unless the futon stays in the "bed" position.

A spring mattress would work with the futon frame only as a bed. As a lounger, the mattress would have to have some flexibility to mold to the frame.

Like you, we only wanted to replace the mattress not our box Springs & frame. I contacted the manufacturer about using their Mattresses on our old frame & box springs and we're told that we could. We've had this mattress for several months with no problems. So my "short" answer is yes you can.

Yes, but from my experience, I'd ditch the futon matters and just use this mattress if you are looking for a more comfortble comfortable sleep.

No, I wouldn't use a foam mattress for this frame (unless you use 2) - something must be underneath the foam mattress.

I don't think so when its fully inflated its pretty much flat. Not bendable.u could use it if the futon stays in "bed position".

i do not see why not. We have a hard futon which is hard to sleep on but my son put this on the futon and now he can sleep very nicely . I think it will definetly help. That sofa futon is hard to even sit on. I hope it answers your question and definely worth a try and much chaper than buying a bed. Let me know if you try it. I think Amazon will take it back as they have best return policy of anyone I know of just save the packaging

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!

I guess that you could but you would probably change your mind and use it as your futon mattress instead, it is much more comfortable than your average futon.

If you are putting it on a frame, then yes. Get a low profile box spring. If you are putting it on a bed with a flat base, then no.

The shikibuton trifold bed that I bought from here is just under 25 inches wide. I wouldn't buy it with a futon frame.

I bought DHP 8-Inch Independently-Encased Coil Premium Futon Mattress, Full Size on September of 2011. I love it. I have it on a wooden futon frame and have had no problems. If your frame is built for futons, you shouldn't have any problem. :D

If by regular side mattress you mean a spring mattress, yes. Actually I think any type of mattress would work, since it is a flat surface. So, futons, foam, etc. should all work.

Yes. There are mattress frames that remove the need for a box frame that work great.

Sure if the futon's flat...check the measurements! This mattress is best for back-sleepers.

I suppose you could, but the frame itself is already pretty hight off the ground, and as soon as I added the mattress, it was a about 12 inches off the ground; no need for a box spring.

Check to see if the frame has holes in it at the ends as that's how the headboard attaches to the frame. Most mattresses fit on a metal frame that adjusts to size, and this headboard uses the predrilled holes in a metal frame to attach to with bolts. You could drill holes in a wooden frame of a futon to make it work, perhaps, but that's much more work than putting this on a predrilled frame and depends on having the right spacing in the wood and sufficient strength of the wood for these holes.
