How does this mattress work with a tri-fold frame?

It works well enough. The frame I have is a tri-fold where you put 2 layers under your butt and one layer behind your back. Only problem I've had with it I've had with every futon mattress I've ever owned. It has a tendency to slide down in the back making the back shorter and the seat wider.... I fixed it easily enough by sewing tabs onto the Futon cover at the top, bottom and where I wanted it to fold up and become the back. This holds it in place well and it no longer slides down.

There are flexible wooden slats that go across the frame and support the mattress. Before, I had a spring mattress directly on the frame and a few of the slats would slip off repeatedly. Once I bought a new mattress w/ a box spring, I had no problems. I don't think it's required, but I personally had less issues after I used one.

I use it with a sleep number mattress and it works fine. We just have the standard mattress without the extra padding that some come with and keep a rolled blanket at one end to take up a little extra space. I also like that our mattress stays in place better than it did with the sleep number platform with no head/foot boards. We use the supports provided with the bed instead of sitting the sleep number platform inside of the frame and it feels very sturdy.

I am using a slatted base and it works fine. I was worried about the foam bending through the slats, but it has not. I should also mention that I kept a clean piece of cardboard from the interior of the box that the mattress shipped in, and put this piece of cardboard under where our bodies go. It seems to have done the trick - and for free!

I haven't had a problem. It remains in the rectangular shape. Even with continuous use and some very large people the mattress maintains it's shape

We don't have a problem with the mattress sliding. It stays pretty well in the fold of the frame.

I found it really helps having a mattress pad and a sheet to hold it all together, with that setup you can't even feel the seams if you try. It's a very high quality mattress.

It's held in place by the weight of the mattress: the metal tubes are covered with foam sleeves that help to keep the frame from sliding. It's really a well designed unit that has worked well for my 91 year old mother.

We put the frame together and then we put mattress on it is the folding position. I believe there are written instructions for you to refer to

I have now purchased three of these mattresses in the last 3 months and the ones I bought have all folded up perfect then straightened out as soon as it was open.

I have this mattress and I'm having the same problem. It scoots down so that it's drooping off the edge and the frame is exposed at the top.

With the futon in a sitting position, I started with one end of the mattress at the front/ seat part. lined those edges up and laid the futon back to it was laying diagonally across the futon. then i started to gently press the mattress down against the flat part of the futon (front seat) to see about where I would need the crease. In one solid motion I made the crease across the futon. The fold will be between 2 sets of springs.

Yes it does, and quite nicely. Just pull a couple of dowel size metal pins , and it folds in half. Put the pins back in and it becomes very compact with a low profile and half the stated length. After folded, you can carry it by a part of the frame that acts as as handle that's positioned in the middle so the weight is distributed evenly. Very convenient. I can't say the say for the frame that I bought separately. It doesn't fold, and has to be taken apart. But even that is not difficult; about 5 minutes easy work. Let me know if you have additional questions. Actually, I just took a look at the picture of it displayed on Amazon, and it you run your cursor over it for a zoomed view, you can see the two pins I mentioned. Just turn the machine on it's side with the pins facing upward and you'll see how it folds. Pull those two pins, that releases the cushion that moves back and forth. Then you just fold by holding one end in place while pulling the other end like your folding it. It's hinged, so it's very light and easy. When they're together, reinsert the pins to lock the two parts together.After you've done it 2 or 3 times, you'll be able do it in less than 5 minutes. That's it. Oh, and of course you'll have to remove the attachment at the end. And you know how simple that is. Let me know if you have any additional questions. I know how difficult it is to get straight answers sometimes. Seems like people either haven't taken the extra time to understand their product or a competitor makes erroneous statements. Yes, that happens.

I use a 10" mattress and it folds fine, comfortable too. But get some futon grip strips or something so the mattress don't slide around, the wood is very smooth. Also you may find it takes a little extra strength to fold a thicker mattress but I don't really have a problem with it.

Yep, it actually has 3 positions. Bed mode, Sofa mode, and a leaned back sofa mode I call perfect slouch mode to totally take a nap on, on the weekend mode. It makes this awesome little gap you kinda roll into and no light gets through. It locks in by pulling it up and putting it into the sofa mode first, and then you have to kinda play with it again to get the second position. It is easiest to do with either two people or the bedding part off. I've had the frame for about three years now and i've yet to have issues with it.

The mattress is a bi-fold, however it is very comfortable. I have had mine or a year and I have no issues with mine what-so-ever!

I don't see how it could work very well unless you raised and lowered each side exactly the same. I only have a single foam for my twin frame and the mattress shifts and needs readjusting regularly because I raise and lower it and read in bed a lot. Also, the bottom sheet flips off easily when I raise and lower the bed. I'd hate to be always having to adjust a king mattress and sheet. It would take a strong back.
