How
to Choose the Right Futon Mattress for You.
By Joe Tatulli
Choosing the right futon mattress is easy once you understand
how the filling materials cause the mattress to react differently
to the weight of the human body and other criteria. The following
explanations should help you determine which mattress will
perform best for your personal needs and application.
Trying to graph the different configurations is subjective
judgment at best. For weight, shorter is better as long as
the minimum (6 inch) thickness is maintained. Firmness, rigidity,
and flexibility are relative to the desires of the mattress
user. Please use this guide wisely. It is meant to help understand
how the product will perform, not judge its quality or value.
