Will this work on a futon frame that is NOT a tri-fold?

Yes. For example, it will fold down the middle along the longer dimension sufficiently easily that it can be used on a standard sofa-type futon frame. Keeping it in place when in sofa mode might be a problem. I guess that's always a problem. I have resorted to lashing straps to keep the futon from settling down. Basically, it folds just as well along either direction.

I have it on a flat frame that I built, and it's just fine. The only thingI'd do differently is to get a thicker version - 6". Hope that helps.

Yes, it does work. I bought a very inexpensive $88 silver metal frame futon from Walmart. It came with a cheap foam mattress that had gotten flat within a month of sitting on it. This new futon mattress works perfectly on that frame. This futon frame that I have does not have the two guards on the front bottom, that some futon frames have to prevent the mattress from sliding forward though. I have to say that if it did, then this mattress would not work; I would have to take those guards off. This mattress does not slide and looks perfect as is with the frame.

If you have a nice thick mattress to distribute the weight a bit, it should be fine, IMO. Super thin futon would probably not be so good... I broke a slat on mine by putting all my weight on the weakest spot 1/4 of the way in from the edge, not a dive onto the bed exactly, but not the gentlest maneuver. We just have a thin futon and a topper. They sent me a new slat and I've been more respectful, so all good.

Our beds could fit in a futon couch frame if the dimensions are the exact same. However, our beds are not able to easily fold up in half horizontally because of the firmness of the bed.

Not sure. It depends how big your futon is. You can look at the dimensions of the mattress given in the description, then measure your futon to see if it would fit.

We've only used it on a regular bed frame, but I don't think it would be pliable enough to be folded up to be the back and bottom cushions of a futon.

I don't think so. It's designed for a regular futon. Yes, it's difficult to fold it because it moves forward. They could improve the design with a type of velcro on the bottom. It's a comfortable mattress, but it needs improvements.

It was very difficult to fold in half, and we had to strap it with tie downs to get it to conform to the futon. After 24 hours, we took off the tie downs and it still wouldn't stay folded into a futon position. So I don't think it would ever work for a tri-fold.

I do not believe that will work as the frame is a single piece. There are many single units available however that work well. you can check amazon for many of those

It may depend on your futon frame. When I got my new frame it was hard to get the futon to stay up, but after a week of sitting on it everything is fine.

This is a regular mattress for a bed. It could possibly fit on a futon frame, but it would never have the bend of a mattress designed for a futon.

cross-slats are 4" apart. there's a center-beam running up the middle, too. a futon mattress would probably be just fine. if it ends up feeling lumpy, a sheet of plywood could be laid down first. 'hope this helps!

It probably wouldn't fold at all. It's a bit of a firm mattress. It's not like a futon mattress at all.

It takes a futon mattress the same size as whatever size the frame is. Mine is a twin frame with a twin futon mattress. It does not need a tri fold mattress. The thickness and the quality of the mattress determine the comfort of the seat and bed. If the mattress is too thick it will be hard to fold and too thin, it will be a bit uncomfortable. I have a 4 inch futon twin mattress and can feel the slats underneath but it is really easy to fold to use a a seat (I use mine primarily as a bed). Hope this is helpful.

I wouldn't think that it would flatten. Many people use futons on a daily basis, made of the same materials (often 3" thick), and with regular care they last for several years. I just ordered one, I'll try to post a review once I get it and try it out for a while.

I have it on my California King bed- once it unfold and rises- it will not lay flat- you will need to remove it each time you wNt to add it to your futon
