Is the futon comfortable in the sitting position with the mattress doubled? Does folding the mattress affect how it lays when flat as a bed?

My son used it sitting up watching TV and he found it comfortable. The mattress will lie flat when it's open. It's not as comfortable as a bed, but my adult son slept on it for three years and had no complaint. It's great for an extra room or a college dorm, but my son used it in his bedroom. He wanted to take it when he moved out, but I kept it for the guest room.

Yes , that is how I prefer it, as it makes the seating posture higher; When used as a bed I suggest at least an 8" or 10 " good mattress since there are spaced slots on the futon.

The futon is very comfortable in the sitting position. I keep a nice bedspread on it (in my guest room) and it makes for a great place to sit and read. It doesn't seem to crease the mattress too much and can't see it affects the lay at all.

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!

We used this to replace a futon mattress. It remains in couch mode most of the time in a spare bedroom. At the moment the room is doubling as an office bedroom for a friend that needed a place to live for a while. She reports that the mattress is quite comfortable and works well retiring to the couch position. The aesthetics were less important to us than the practicality of being able to provide a second guest room.

It probably wouldn't fold at all. It's a bit of a firm mattress. It's not like a futon mattress at all.

Negative, it possesses springs within, it had a solid consistency, padded, cushioned, Significantly comfortable though. Perfect for a twin sized bed frame (Twin Size Fold-A-Bed - Compact Bed Frame found within amazon for example), not a futon.

No, it's very seamless and comfortable. The only thing I would say to watch out for is if you are moving the mattress around. I was dragging it into place one day and it almost felt like I could've ripped it where the folds are. The seams are strong there, I just didn't want to test it.

It is a very comfortable and easy to fold and put away. This mattress is narrower than a twin size. Would recommend the next size up if not for a guest or teen/ sleepover.

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.

haven't had mine a year yet...had mine about 7 months and i love it. Its very stiff though hard to make the futon fold, which is a downer. But, it is very comfortable and i sleep on it every night this is a great buy for the price and quality. You wont be let down other than the folding issue but like i said you will be satisfied with this mattress. Hope this helps you have a great day:)

It does feel comfortable within 10 minutes! As you see from other posts. the mattress is very bulky and heavy. That's because it is much more foam than air. I do a lot of camping, but I had to cancel my fall camping trip, so I haven't slept on it yet.

Hey, I bought a Mozaic futon. Fits fine. Not easy to fold back into couch position. Feels comfy for now but haven't had it long.

I think it's very comfortable as a couch. Bought one for my son and daughter-in-law, and once I sat on it several times at their house, I bought one for my own futon on my sun porch. The mattress I already had was fine, I guess, but was stuffed with some type of ticking, and did not have springs -- so there was just no give to it, and when I sat on it for a while, it got uncomfortable. It's the springs that make this new mattress feel so good to sit or lay on, in my opinion.

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.

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

It does...Candidly, the futon is not all that comfortable, but it is a great and flexible addition to a room. Not a daily and hardly a weekend sleeper.

You can fold it, it's not likely to stay that way unless, like Dr. L Berstis said, "enough constant weight". We have our matress on a tri-fold futon frame, we have used light restraints to keep it in place when it's not laying flat. It has 'learned' some of the folds after less than 2 months.

it is designed kinda like a futon. the front (seat section) lifts. The 'v' pivots. The back section slides forward and down flat, then the front lays back down flat. It ends stretched over the center of the base, hanging over on the front and back. We've used it many times and everyone says it is comfortable.
