could you put this on top of a futon mattress if you're not folding it?

I used it as a mattress for a trailer...it should work well for what you want to do.

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.

Yes. For example, it will fold down the middle along the longer dimension sufficiently easily that it can be used on a standard sofa-type futon frame. Keeping it in place when in sofa mode might be a problem. I guess that's always a problem. I have resorted to lashing straps to keep the futon from settling down. Basically, it folds just as well along either direction.

You can. It has the attachment to the rails that keep the mattress from moving. I'm 5'2", 104lbs and I can do it. It isn't too hard. The mattress is well worth buying. I would definitely give it 5 stars without hesitation. As a matter of fact I just ordered another one for the futon in my husband's "man cave" basement dungeon. He like the one in the study so he asked to order him one too.

You can put it right on top of the mattress, and put the fitted sheet over it. Sometimes the fitted sheet needs to have greater "depth" or you may need those clip on elastic corner strap thingys (sorry, can't remember the name) to help the fitted sheet to completely cover and stay attached.

I believe so. My roommate currently uses the one I purchased for him on top of his futon mattress with no issues. It gives just enough extra cushion to a not-so-good mattress to make it decent. Hope this helps.

I didn't try on a futon, but if the dimensions are right, I believe it will work, just as a bed. Mine is on a platform bed (no springbox) and it woks fine.

You could... but this mattress doesn't need a box spring anyways. I bought a fold up bed frame that you put the mattress on. It only cost like $59.00 and takes a couple of minutes to set up, its light weight and sits up about a foot high so you can store things under the bed. It would look a lot nicer than sleeping directly on the floor. Stay cleaner too.

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.

You could put anything you want on top of it. I guess it depends on what you're using it for. I've used ours for our beds to protect the mattresses and I put the fitted sheet for the bed right on top. If you're using it for a futon, I would say you could put the futon cover on top.

I suppose you could put a boxspring on top of it, as long as the boxspring and the mattress did not slide around each other. The way it's designed though, you don't need a boxspring. The boards/slats have some flexibility. Mine is very comfortable with just a mattress.

I don't think so. It's designed for a regular futon. Yes, it's difficult to fold it because it moves forward. They could improve the design with a type of velcro on the bottom. It's a comfortable mattress, but it needs improvements.

Technically yes. It wouldnt fold neatly in any way. While not impossible I would warn that doing this would become a little annoying on multiple occasions.(heavier than it loks) however if it for occasional family or guests it wouldnt be bad and this topper dramatically improves the comfort of any bed it is on.

We don't fold ours. It's pretty stiff but I think with a little work it could fold. I don't think it would be easy like thinner mattresses.

You shouldn't have a problem using this on top of a sheet since that is how it should be used but I place it under the sheet to protect my mattress rather than both my sheet and mattress.

The mattress wouldn't be flexible enough for a mattress at least for putting it in the seated position. The mattress should be a futon mattress for your best use of the frame.

The mattress isn't like a reqular futon mattress, it's more like padding & threading, so you would not want to take off this cover even though there is a zipper. I would recomend buying a cover to go over the black.

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.
