Does it work on a Futon? We want to make sure it doesn't go "BOING" when we are not sitting on it. (Ie it stays bent)

I haven't personal slept on the memory foam mattress, but my grandchildren have really enjoyed it. According to them it doesn't Boning when sitting on it. They give it thumbs up.

It would need a lot of pressure/weight to stay bent. With the sofa bed there's enough weight on it that it can stay bent.

I wouldn't know, really, how to answer that. No, it doesn't or wouldn't do that "boing". I don't know if it would work on a futon though... it might slide around too much or not fit right like a futon mat does. But, I guess you'll find out if there really needs to be a separate specific "futon mat" Hope that helps...

I believe it would stay bent. I am very happy with it as are my house guests.

Not sure it's made for a futon. I'm using it on a sofa bed. Comfortable and it stays in place

It is flexible, yes. If the angle is too sharp, it may not stay bent without someone on the mattress as it is so lightweight, but the weight of a person should easily contour it to the bed frame. If you let me know at what angles your bed bends, I could test it out for you.

Hi William, I use the futon for a mattress support for an air mattress by ComfortAire, so I have not had it in a sitting position any time since I bought it. The mattress is well supported and it has worked out well for that. It is obviously horizontal when it is used as a mattress, but I don't have clarity for you about sitting.

If you have a nice thick mattress to distribute the weight a bit, it should be fine, IMO. Super thin futon would probably not be so good... I broke a slat on mine by putting all my weight on the weakest spot 1/4 of the way in from the edge, not a dive onto the bed exactly, but not the gentlest maneuver. We just have a thin futon and a topper. They sent me a new slat and I've been more respectful, so all good.

I use my futon as a couch in the day and a bed at night. Everyday I do fold it into a couch. It is very difficult if doing so with the mattress on the frame, but has been getting easier. I'm not sure if the mattress is getting softer or if I'm just getting used to it.

No! At least, I was unable to accomplish folding it. In my case this was not a big deal as my intention was to keep the futon base in an open, "bed" position, but if you plan on folding up the futon, good luck...and let ME know how you did it

If you have a good bender it should do just fine I've had no problem with bending it and keep it bent. Added a bit of heat to the bend to keep it bent.

I'm not sure if a spring mattress is flexible enough to use in any way other than flat. But it seems like someone who sells mattresses would be able to answer that. I would check with them. But just so you know, the futon mattress I have on mine is 8" thick and uses queen size sheets, so size wise it seems like it would work.

I guess there is somewhat of a firmness issue. The area around my hips and shoulders I have noticed that the padding tends to move away and has to be fluffed. However I have to admit I don't know if that is normal or not because this is the first time I have ever owned a futon . . I hope my comments were helpful

We've only used it on a regular bed frame, but I don't think it would be pliable enough to be folded up to be the back and bottom cushions of a futon.

It's supposed to, but it's funny, I bought this for my 35lb 2 year old so he could sleep in my room when he wanted, and he managed to bend the frame within one week of use.... I mean completely bent to a v-shape. And he has been the only one on it. So.... Yeah...

Bending it does not seem to be a problem. I think you would first have to determine if the unit gets enough light to work.

It was very difficult to fold in half, and we had to strap it with tie downs to get it to conform to the futon. After 24 hours, we took off the tie downs and it still wouldn't stay folded into a futon position. So I don't think it would ever work for a tri-fold.

Sure as long as the leg of the futon frame comes down straight into the riser and isn't at an angle. Occasionally check the wear and tear on the risers. I've never had a problem with any furniture weight carried by the risers.

The problem would be that if you are using it in the upright position and you lean it against an arm of the sofa, it would be too tall and would tend to tip back. If you are using it in the wedge position and laying down it should work fine.

We've had it for a while and one thing is: it has gotten very flattened out and lumpy in certain areas. So I'd say it would be alright to use on a futon if you're not going to be sitting/sleeping on it every night. Right now we've had to fold it in half to sleep on to offset the flattened areas. On the other hand it's economic.

After its reached it full thickness it will not be flexible enough to use for a futon. It will just slide off since its lightweight.
