Can I have a mattress for a futon frame?
I have slept on a folding futon for years now and am financially strapped. I do have a normal mattress that rested on top of the futon mattress for comfort, but have recently needed to get rid of the futon mattress. So what can I do to the futon frame to ensure the normal mattress that will now sit on top of it is not hampered by the slats and/or the middle joint where if you convert it to sitting position are?

Hi Cindy.
Thank you for your enquiry. We do not have too many dealings with Futons and not too sure what will be your best available options. The lowest price purchase you can make will, of course, be a foam mattress of sorts. This will give you some kind of flexibility for the seating position although it stands to reason that the 'bend' may be prone to shifting.
After looking online for a solution, I found a foam futon mattress at ikea for £75 (07/18). Your best option may be to replace the futon's mattress.
Kind Regards
Michaela
