can you use it with a tri-fold futon frame?

HiFi, I am not sure. My futon mattress is just on the floor with no frame at all. Best to you in your search for your answer!!

If the mattress has springs and it is not a futon matress the mattress will not fold. The mattress that is featured with the futon frame is a firm comfortable mattress that is high quality.

Jonah, Although it is soft, it would not stay "folded" in the seated position. Also, because it is memory foam it would compress around the support bars. I would not recommend it for a futon.

I bought a "Genesis Twin Size Foam/Cotton/Polyester Futon Mattress" for the frame. I don't know if it's still available through Amazon. It fits fine, overlapping the sides and top/bottom just a bit, as I want it. I've never tried to fold it back onto itself, and I think it's a bit thick for actually using it that way. But it also seems to me that you wouldn't want a thinner futon or else you might feel the frame through it when you use it in the normal way. That's all I know, since I have no experience beyond this frame and futon. You might also consider adding a foam pad over the futon - it's sooo comfy!!! Like floating on air.

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!!

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.

My opinion is 'yes.' We already had the futon but needed a new frame. This one is 'shorter' to the floor than our previous one so less 'stuff' fits under it.

You can, if you want to, but this bed provides tremendous support. It is the best folding bed we've ever had.

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.

I would guess you could. You would need to put risers on the 4 middle supports also. I do like the frame.

This need has a frame that also acts like a box spring, so if your frame has only the edges and no support throughout the surface, it will not work.

yes you can..this is a very durable frame/foundation. well worth the money and can def support a foam mattress.

As long as the spring futon mattress can bend then yes. We use ours as a lounger and we like it a lot. We would like it even more if we had purchased a mattress with more spring in it. We are using a memory foam futon mattress with no springs and it can flatten out pretty quickly. As far as the frame, purchase without worry. We love ours

I can fold it into a couch - it does take effort - but with two people (or one really strong) it can be done. I don't have a tri-fold frame though.

I believe you can. You will notice it doesn't line up with the frame very well. No hardware is included either.

I really don't know, I have it on a platform bed. It requires a platform, not box-springs so it probably could be used on some futons if they are the platform type. Warranty is voided if not on a platform.

Nope. The mattress is 10"s think and not soft enough to be 'bendable'- the futon frame could work as a base, but it won't fold.It's not hard, just kinda dreamy - I love it!
