A quality futon can be as comfortable as a regular mattress. A futon is a type of cushion or mattress, and futons are valued for their versatility. Unlike a standard mattress, futons are very flexible, and are often used as cushions on frames that can convert between a sofa and a bed. Futons are designed to be slept on instead of a mattress. Sleeping on one regularly, though, may or may not be a good idea depending upon your circumstances and the particular futon. Futons In the past, futons were the standard for sleeping in Japan and are often still used today due to their convenience. These flexible mattresses can be folded up and stored easily, leaving space for other activities. A standard bed with a frame can't be put away so easily, and so a space must be reserved specifically for the bed. While Japanese futons and American futons are similar, there are some differences. Japanese futons tend to be much thinner and are designed to be laid on the floor, while American futons are thicker and typically laid over a frame.
Sleeping Well The quality of your bed directly affects the quality of your sleep. Using a firm mattress gives good support to your back, reducing back pain. According to the Cleveland Clinic, putting a mattress on the floor is not a harmful way of increasing the firmness of your mattress. Futons are typically firmer than traditional mattresses because they are designed to be put on the floor, and so using a futon on the floor can potentially be good for you. However, as a solution to chronic or severe back pain, a futon is probably not the best idea as other mattresses can conform better to your body. Comfort The construction of your futon is an important factor in how well you'll sleep well on one. If you tend to sleep on your back, a thinner futon is better and will give more support. If you tend to sleep on your side, a thicker futon is essential for cushioning your body. Futons can also be made from a variety of materials. Cotton is the traditional material for a futon, but modern futons can be made from foam or polyester, which offer good support and are more resistant to mold than other materials.
Futons and Health True futons are designed to be used as regular bedding, the same as a mattress. There is nothing to suggest that sleeping on a futon regularly is bad for your health so long as you have enough cushioning to support your body comfortably. However, purchasing a quality futon makes the difference between a good night's sleep and one spent tossing and turning. Futons designed for cheap furniture, such as that intended for a dorm room, aren't going to give proper support for your back. It's important to use a futon that is made with quality materials if you plan on sleeping on it nightly. /Getty Images Suggest a CorrectionUnmatchable Comfort 16 inches of high-density block and convoluted foam surrounded by thermally bonded polyester are enclosed in an 8-inch boxed edge casing for an amazingly plush yet buoyant feel that will last virtually unchanged for years.
