Futon Mattress and Cover Thickness
Standard futon covers fit mattresses from 6" to 8" thick. The mattress thickness is generally given for each mattress that you find on our web site.
The Futonsandbeanbags.com futon mattress comparison page will give you a great deal of information all in one place (in a table that compares all of our mattresses) to help you understand more about futon mattresses and mattress sizing. Just click here to see the table.
Some mattresses are thicker (typically, 9" and 10" thick). The typical futon cover does NOT fit well on these and you need to purchase additional "loft" (height or thickness) in the futon cover.
Also, some people like to keep bedding on the mattress all the time, under the futon cover, particularly if they open and use the futon as a bed each night. A little bit of extra loft will allow both sheets and a blanket underneath and will still zip nicely shut without bagginess or too tight a fit.
Caution #1: Several blankets or a down comforter may be too bulky even for a 9” thick loft and you may have to add an additional inch of loft if you intend to keep more than one blanket on the futon when you zip it closed with multiple blankets inside the futon cover.
Caution #2: It can be REALLY hard to find sheets and mattress protectors or mattress covers for a 10" thick mattress -- futon mattress or regular! Though it is tempting to get as thick a mattress as possible (they can be extraordinarily comfortable), you will search longer and pay more for additional loft in the sheets, mattress protectors, and futon cover.
Some futon cover manufacturers make futon covers with additional loft for thicker mattresses. It is not terribly expensive (about $10-$15 extra) to go from a a 6”-8” inch futon cover to a 9" futon cover.
Check the drop-down menus below the product picture to add additional loft, or check with our Customer Service Department to see if you can purchase additional loft for a specific fabric. |
