  Finally, it’s time for you to buy a new futon mattress. Perhaps your current mattress has begun to deteriorate, developing lumps or the seams are coming apart. May be you are beginning to use your futon more often and you expect a better level of comfort while sitting or sleeping over that. Irrespective of the reason, it’s imperative to make a right choice of your new futon mattress. You can start looking for something cool right away. If you get this wrong then you will find that your futon will be uncomfortable and won’t give you the best night’s sleep.

  The size of the futon mattress is important. Too small a size fails to deliver the required level of a comfortable good night’s sleep nor can it be effective when used on a couch. You get a futon mattress in just three sizes. They are twin, full and queen. Because of their size, children and teenagers will find a twin mattress to suit their requirements and expectations. A couple that uses futon for sleeping need to have at least a full sized mattress. As is evident from its name, a queen sized mattress has the largest size and offers room to accommodate two people most comfortably.

  When it comes to comfort, the filling of the mattress is an important consideration. A cotton mattress is cheap but will quickly develop lumps and bumps. And, the only way you can delay the onset of bumps and lumps on such a mattress is by rotating it too frequently, perhaps as often as you use it. A foam mattress is the next level up and can be quite comfortable if you are willing to spend the money. Inner spring futon mattresses offer another choice for a bed mattress. They are the most expensive but also the most comfortable of all the futon types.

  The third and the last, but a very important feature, that governs the comfort level of a futon is the thickness of the mattress. If you are going to be using the futon as a spare bed, and not as a luxurious bed, then a 6 inch mattress is suitable. On the other hand you’ll need a thickness of eight to nine inches if you intend using it on a more regular basis, as is the case with a full time bed. One disadvantage of a thicker mattress is that it will heavier and more awkward to maneuver when it comes time to change the futon from a bed to a couch.
