I need this for a futon sitting up will it work?

I don't think so. Only if you have a way to pin it in the middle so it doesn't come out. This is kind of like tempurpedic material, so it will go back to flat after bending it

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

No. We went to Wal-Mart and bought 6" height risers for each of the legs. After raising the height with risers, the futon was more comfortable for sitting.

Yes, it does work. I bought a very inexpensive $88 silver metal frame futon from Walmart. It came with a cheap foam mattress that had gotten flat within a month of sitting on it. This new futon mattress works perfectly on that frame. This futon frame that I have does not have the two guards on the front bottom, that some futon frames have to prevent the mattress from sliding forward though. I have to say that if it did, then this mattress would not work; I would have to take those guards off. This mattress does not slide and looks perfect as is with the frame.

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.

I believe it would work. It's very good quality and I like the fact that it can be bolted to the floor.

I don't believe so. It is a typical spring mattress and does not readily fold. It comes compressed and rolled up, but as soon as you release it from its bindings it quickly springs open and inflates. It would not work with a futon, I believe.

yes, it should work in my opinion; however the one I bought was a little too firm. The next time I will order a softer one.

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 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 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.

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.

IF you are just using it as a bed I don't see why not, if it's folding into a couch, maybe not, matress may be too thick, I think they make memory foam mattresses just for futons though .

Depends on your futon frame. Of your frame does not have something to stop it yes it will slide when I sit on it

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.

I don't really know, but if it is like a box spring it should work. I would call the store and he will be able to tell you.

You would have to reach up and into it, it wouldnt be THAT high but it wouldnt be as low as your mattress. We have a futon for a bed and the sides (when its the bassinet) of the rocker are exactly as high as our bed. :)
