Luxton Home Japanese Shiki Futon Foldable Mattress for Sleep & Travel - Twin-Long

I was sick and tired of all the fluffy and thick foam based mattresses as they constantly gave me back aches. I wanted to get a thin mattress that was simple but comfortable and was in search for a long time until I found the futon type. This was a dream come true for me no pun intended. Very comfortable, high quality product from Luxton. Now I sleep well and don't dread waking up anymore and all my aches have disappeared. Highly recommended if you believe in the fact its the simple things that give us the greatest happiness!!

This futon has changed my life. I will admit I only allowed mines to air out for a day and a half before losing my mind and giving in to my selfish desires to lay on it. I did flap it like a towel over that day and a half hoping it would speed up the inflation process. It appeared to work somewhat. Now lets get to why I love this futon. I suffer from lower back pain and have heard over the years that futons are good for such things. I am thoroughly impressed by the comfort. It feels like im laying down on a firm bed and I can hardly feel the hard floor beneath me. However, if you do feel like feeling the floor beneath you in anyway could irritate you. I would go with the extra padding option amazon has available above. I would wager that extra padding could make a noticeble difference for even more comfort. Another reason why I bought this is because it will make moving out much easier as a college student. This futon is compact and when folded could fit in your trunk with relative ease. I cant imagine myself going back to using a regular full size bed now. Thank You Luxton I am a happy believer now.

Perfect! For a year or two before my wife and I got married, I got tired of being uncomfortable in bed and started sleeping on the floor on and off, usually with just a sleeping bag or a few quilts as padding. I went back and forth for about a year but the stretches of floor-sleeping got longer and longer. By the time I was engaged, I was sleeping on the floor exclusively. When we got married and started shopping for a bed together, the sales lady at the furniture store kept trying to sell us rediculously thick foam mattresses costing over $1000. I kept asking for something hard and firm. Frustrated,she finally pointed at a nice box-spring and said "There, is that hard enough for you?!" I laid on it, felt my back stretch out and a few vertebrae popping back into place and I said, "Yes! It's perfect!" She threw her hands up in the air and walked away while my wife looked around embarrassed. We settled on getting some risers to fit a California King sized bed and bought a nice soft Twin XL for my wife. She got the mattress, I got the box spring and put a thick sheet of particle board on top to even the two sides out. I took several old blankets and quilts and put them under the sheet for padding and it's been AMAZING! It's too hard for my wife, so it totally protects my territory in bed (wives can be so greedy with bed-space, yknow?) and I can still roll over to her side for cuddling and back to mine when it's time to sleep. The blanket-pad has been great but needs regular adjusting and shifting back in place, and it doesn't quite cover the whole board. So, finally, after 6 and a half years, I started looking around for a real pad to put on my bed. No foam, blech, I'll be eating Advil for a week if I sleep on foam. Something thick and dense like the consistency of 4 blankets folded up on each other. I found this futon pad and took a chance on it. I almost just bought some quilt batting to sew together in several layers, but it was going to cost me just as much and be more work. It came in the mail today and it's PERFECT! A little big and hangs over the edges a bit, but I'm sure that'll not be any problem, protects the kids from the edges of the board, I mean bed, anyway :-) I think I'm in love already, laying in it as I write this. Now I just have to convince my wife this is the way to go still. She's unconvinced, but only has complaints about her bed and how uncomfortable her soft mattress is. Someday, I'm sure she'll come around.... ;-)

I use this to sleep on every night and plan on buying a few more for my son and any guests. Sometimes my 4 year old will sleep with me on a twin size, though I am really small for an adult. I bought this because I was bothered by the size of typical western beds. I had previously slept in a full size bed, but found that I was tossing and turning too much to get a good night sleep, it also took up so much of the room that I didn't have space for a desk or bookshelves. Having a futon that I can roll up during the day allows me to have the space to use the space for other things during the day, and then when those are put away, I can lay out the futon and go to sleep. As a side note, I highly suggest a waterproof mattress pad if you have kids, it's help save the futon from a few spills (long enough that I can take care of the spill). This is also lighter than the other brands of futons, which enables me to easily move it around the house and to air it out, which is a huge plus.

I bought this for using as a futon mattress on a carpeted floor, paired with a 2-inch foam mattress topper underneath it, or with a softer 3-inch futon mattress on top of it. It is very comfortable to sleep on my back on this, and aligns my spine nicely. It is also a nice mat for relaxing after yoga, napping, or resting on. I prefer a firm, supportive surface but not rock hard, and this is just right. It folds in thirds very nicely and therefore I enjoy it as a meditation cushion too. I let it puff up for a full three days before using it after unpacking, and it lofted nicely.

Nose si es por qué era compra importacion pero compré el que según traía una funda para el futón y no traía nada, además se tardó un montón en llegar y pata el precio y lo que ofrece es mejor comprarse otro más económico.
