Add a Mattress Topper You'd probably add a mattress topper to a regular mattress, so why not take the same route when trying to make a futon bed as comfortable as possible? Check out traditional egg carton-style foam mattress toppers, or see whether a mattress topper made of luxurious memory foam might be your best choice. Slip your mattress topper inside the futon cover, or layer it on top of the mattress, and cover both the futon mattress and the topper with a fitted sheet to hold everything together. Add Supports Under the Futon Mattress Sometimes the best way to make a futon comfortable is not to add something on top of the mattress, but to support it from underneath. Sofa sleepers of all kinds, including futon beds, often could use a little extra support, so consider adding wooden bed slats to provide firmness and prevent any sagging in the middle of the mattress or around the edges. Change Your Futon Mattress A comfortable futon mattress can make all the difference when you want a good night's sleep.
Futon mattresses come in different thicknesses, with thicker mattresses obviously being more comfortable. However, take a look at the material making up the mattress as well. Foam mattresses hold their shape over time better than cotton ones do. If your mattress has to fold up when you turn your futon bed back into a sofa, make sure that your new mattress fits your sofa in its folded form. Add a Featherbed to the Futon Mattress Bring the best of multiple cultures together when you combine your Japanese futon with the European tradition of a featherbed. A featherbed is like a down comforter that you sleep on top of rather than pulling it over you at night. Usually a featherbed is divided into sections to keep the down from migrating to one side of the bed or the other, and it adds a blissful layer of softness and warmth between you and your futon mattress. Layer Comforters on the Mattress Another way to add comfort to your futon sofa is to be literal about it, and turn to a comforter.
Whether you prefer the airy lightness of down or opt for a down alternative to avoid any possible allergies for your overnight guests, layering comforters on top of your futon's mattress can give you that extra layer of cushioning that makes all the difference. An extra benefit of this method is that, if two people are sharing the futon bed, you can customize the extra padding to the preference of each of your guests. Add an Air Mattress Futon beds are often only a foot or less off the ground, and some people find it difficult to sit down that low. To help out your guests who need a more comfortable futon experience, consider placing an air mattress on top of your opened-up futon. This combination can provide a double dose of comfort and support as well as adding that extra bit of height. Look for an air mattress that fits your futon perfectly, and opt for a model that inflates and deflates automatically to make your guest room chores as easy as possible.This has turned out to be rather a long list, which isn’t surprising since this is where we started out in 1990-making things to sleep on!
Then we just kept on adding products as people kept asking for them. We’ve put mattresses, bedding, bedlinen and blankets here. We’ve also included futons as so many of our customers use our full thickness futons to sleep on all the time rather than as an occasional bed. In this country we don’t tend to give enough thought to what we sleep on and we’ve sourced much of our bedding from Germany where the mattress is often only seen as part of the bedding ‘system’. By the time you’ve considered mattresses, underlays, overlays and protectors you might be thinking of the princess and the pea...But think again and you realise it makes a lot of sense, a good mattress is a big investment and will last a long time and a simple cotton mattress protector is easy to take off and pop in the washing machine compared to trying to get a mattress cleaned. “I came in a couple of weeks ago and bought a mattress pad - very impressed, bed now too warm and soft to want to get out off...and the cat loves it!”
"Mattresses delivered on time. And I love them. And having now slept on one, enjoyed the best nights sleep in years! I will definitely buy from you again and will be highly recommending your company to my friends. "Thank you very much for making the most comfortable futon I’ve ever slept on! Having wonderful nights sleeps...." Questions we are often asked, just contact us at mail@dojoeco.co.uk or give us a ring on 01938 552617 if you have any more!
