* Premium 9" Cotton/Fibre-Foam Futon - Ultra Plushx
  (8 reviews)
This is one of the best futons we have ever found for the money. A true 9-10 inch thick futon that will keep you happy for years. When buying a futon and frame, your most important decision is on the futon itself because this is where your comfort (or lack of) comes from. What makes this futon different are the two layers of 5 inch, high-resiliency Fibre-Foam. Fibre-Foam, unlike traditional urethane foams, does not breakdown over time when exposed to light and air. This special, blended foam was invented in Europe and it takes a special multi-million dollar machine, imported from 4 different European countries to blend natural cotton and polyester together. So in addition to this foam being more resilient and longer lasting than traditional urethane foams found in most other futons, the manufacturing process is much more environmentally friendly and helps to recylce raw materials used in other parts of the futon manufacturing process. Another feature of this foam is that it is very flexible. We know of no other futon this thick that can be used on just about any frame - whether a full length couch, a lounger or even a A-Frame (like our Stealth A-Frame). An exceptional value for an all-purpose, long-lasting and very comfortable futon.

Plush-not so
By A2ETKTVA996VW5 on 2006-06-06
I have slept on the 9 inch "plush" for 2 nights now and have had
a back ache each morning. The mattress is hard!! The 9 inch is not 9, maybe 6 or 7.
Not that great.

The pad arrives significantly compressed from shipping (it ships rolled and tied tightly with twine and wrapped in plastic sheeting), and then goes downhill from there. Maybe if you can pick it up yourself from a retail store, and handle it carefully, it won't fall flat. But don't have this shipped, unless you like sleeping on something that feels like sleeping on a floor--a thickly carpeted floor, but the floor nonetheless. Not the plush, many years of comfort, comfy futon pad advertised. We've had ours for just over 6 months, in use by my less than 45 pound daughter, and the pad is less than 5" thick now. (And that's in the corner near the wall where only her stuffed rabbit has been sleeping!)
If you're desperate, and don't have much $$$, then this is better than nothing. But I won't buy another one. I'll go get a cheap-o synthetic foam pad that will be far more comfortable and durable that this. It's a nice idea, but doesn't work.
Well, it's better than the one we had!

The futon is fairly lightweight and seems to be comfortable and well made. I'm not sure it's something that can take much abuse or last for years, as the ad states, but for the money - and fairly inexpensive home delivery, I'm not complaining yet!
Great Buy.

You can really feel the difference in thickness- it is so much more comfortable than you would think. It has a good price-point. I am very happy with this purchase.
Not all I thought it would be.

Like the description says, for the money, it is a fairly good futon mattress. However, I personally can't sleep on it. It is very lumpy and HARD. I've had it over a month and it hasn't fluffed up to anywhere near 9". It's more like 5 or 6 inches. I'm going to try to get a mattress pad/cover and see if it helps. Better than the floor, though.
