if you cant fold the mattress then what good is it? you need to be able to sit on a futon

You can. It has the attachment to the rails that keep the mattress from moving. I'm 5'2", 104lbs and I can do it. It isn't too hard. The mattress is well worth buying. I would definitely give it 5 stars without hesitation. As a matter of fact I just ordered another one for the futon in my husband's "man cave" basement dungeon. He like the one in the study so he asked to order him one too.

This is a regular mattress for a bed. It could possibly fit on a futon frame, but it would never have the bend of a mattress designed for a futon.

Our beds could fit in a futon couch frame if the dimensions are the exact same. However, our beds are not able to easily fold up in half horizontally because of the firmness of the bed.

This mattress is too thick and stiff to be folded. I don't think it is suitable for a futon or for folding it up.

Yes, you could use this on a futon and fold it easily. It is not much thicker than a fitted sheet.

I don't think it would make it feel like a bed but It should make it more comfortable. You would have to remove it in order to use the futon to sit on. It comes in a nice case that you could put it in but it is very bulky so it will take a little time to get it folded up and stored that way

Yes you can fold it up flat and it has a fairly thin profile to take with you. The mattress is fairly thin so that the baby doesn't suffocate, but our child didn't like it because of the thinness of the mattress.

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

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.

Hello Chelsea, My mattress is quite heavy which made fold up hard but, you've purchased a great steady product. You have to lift the back and kind of pull up on the front at the same time. Stand behind what would be the back and try and lift close to end and pull up on front end while lifting back. Mercy, took lots of practice for me. But trust it's a great futon. YOU CAN DO IT. Best, Loretta

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 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 use a 10" mattress and it folds fine, comfortable too. But get some futon grip strips or something so the mattress don't slide around, the wood is very smooth. Also you may find it takes a little extra strength to fold a thicker mattress but I don't really have a problem with it.

It folds flat, but is as long as a mattress. It would work great for a blow up mattress, as long as you have space to store it flat. You could easily fit it under a regular bed (flat) and just open it up when needed.

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.

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.

the mattress can be used on a sofa bed. It is too large to fold up into the bed
