Futon Mattress – The Cotton, Foam and Inner Spring Choices

Jul

A futon is a great piece of furniture. Not only can you use them as a couch during the day to relax and watch television, they can also be quickly and easily transformed into a bed. This means you can use them as spare guest bed or, if you live in a dorm or small apartment, can be used as the main bed with a space saving function.

Probably the most important part of a futon is the mattress. This is because the mattress is what will make it comfortable to sit on and sleep on.

Cotton futon mattresses are the cheapest that you can buy. They are also the less durable and can quickly become uncomfortable if they are used a lot. If you have a cotton futon mattress then it is a good idea to shake it and turn it after ever use so that the filling doesn’t clump together to create bumps or lumps. It is also recommended that you give the regular airing as the cotton can hold liquid and smells.

The second type of mattress is made from foam. While they can be very comfortable, you should be aware that they tend to reflect body heat. This means that they can be quite hot, especially during the warmer months.

The most expensive type of futon mattress is the inner spring type. Just like the mattress for your bed, these types have springs inside to give it a firm and comfortable feel. They will give you the best night sleep out of all the futon mattresses that are available.

A futon mattress comes in a range of sizes with the largest size being a queen futon mattress.
