Is this mattress too thick to fold and use on a futon in the upright sitting position?

This Works Very Well On Our futon In Both The Sitting And Laying Down Positions. It Takes A Couple Of Days To Lay Flat Once You Unpackage It But After That It Works good

It may depend on your futon frame. When I got my new frame it was hard to get the futon to stay up, but after a week of sitting on it everything is fine.

No. I had it in the sitting position for most of the time that i used the mattress.

The 150 futon mattress is essentially a conventional platform bed mattress without the fancy cover and trim. It is not intended to be folded.

We bought an 8" for ours and it works very well. That thickness is very comfortable. I would think any thicker would be too bulky to fold up and any thinner might be too sparse. The 8" thickness feels very plush in this set up.

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.

This mattress is pretty firm and I don't think you'd get it rolled once it's unpacked. It's more like a traditional mattress. You could definitely fold it, but that would be it for storage. It IS high quality and I would definitely recommend it for comfort and durability and quality.

I guess it could be but I may not recommend it if you will be folding it when use your futon in it seating position. If your futon bed is always going to be at the laying down position, it would work and be more comfortable.

I think the answer was in the product details description. The mattress was not folded--it was placed in a box that fit it perfectly, except for being thicker (?) than the mattress.

I USE IT ON A TRADITIONAL MATTRESS. IT GIVES ME QUITE COMFORTABLE SLEEP. FOR YOUR FUTON, it depends on how much extra padding you are looking for. This one is not overly deep, but I think there's a 3 inch version (more expensive) if you wanted even deeper padding.

No, it doesn't. It's thinner than a regular mattress, but thick enough that it wouldn't fold.

No, it expands into a thick and stiff mattress, so once it expands it is hard to fold up.

You may be able to easily secure it and fold it in half, but once deflated it is quite a mattress as a mattress should be. Maybe a 7 or 9 inch would be a bit more friendly for your needs.

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.

I have no idea! It is pretty flexible but I guess it would depend on how thick your futon mattress is.

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 .

Unless you have a very thin mattress, it probably won't stay folded. I found with mine, trying to keep the top third up only makes the mattress slide down so that it's sitting on the flat part. I have a 10 inch futon mattress.

futon mattresses are designed to fold. this one is not. you might make it work if you strapped it down at the fold and at both ends but its 8 inches thick and will only fold with difficulty. i wouldn't try it.

It is most certainly NOT a sofa futon. It is very thick, I dont think you'd be able to fold it on a sofa.
