Is it possible to use a 6 or 8 inch spring mattress on this if we use it as a lounger and bed? Not folded like the black one in picture 4?

I've used it as a bed and have a Comfortaire Mattress on it..It has worked quite well. You should just make sure the end doesn't fold in...It doesn't hurt anything, but it makes the surface unevenly supported.

If the mattress has springs and it is not a futon matress the mattress will not fold. The mattress that is featured with the futon frame is a firm comfortable mattress that is high quality.

I'm not sure if a spring mattress is flexible enough to use in any way other than flat. But it seems like someone who sells mattresses would be able to answer that. I would check with them. But just so you know, the futon mattress I have on mine is 8" thick and uses queen size sheets, so size wise it seems like it would work.

I don't see why not, you would just be using the frame as a level platform.

A spring mattress would work with the futon frame only as a bed. As a lounger, the mattress would have to have some flexibility to mold to the frame.

As long as the spring futon mattress can bend then yes. We use ours as a lounger and we like it a lot. We would like it even more if we had purchased a mattress with more spring in it. We are using a memory foam futon mattress with no springs and it can flatten out pretty quickly. As far as the frame, purchase without worry. We love ours

I bought this and it was the right width (maybe with an inch to spare, I think, but good enough) but ~3 inches too short, so maybe start there? The bed is actually even better than it seems - we are really pleased with it, as is our son!Sleep Master iCoil 6 Inch Spring Mattress, Twin

I don't quite understand what you have. My mattress is older (8" from the box springs) and it worked well for me. I did a lot of measuring before I ordered it trying to figure out if it would work and in the end, just took a leap of faith that worked for me.

It will fit into a cover suitable for an 8 inch mattress without any trouble, other than the fact that the mattress is heavy and I would suggest you have more than one person there unless you are strong. You did not ask, but the mattress is very comfortable.

The mattress is great and I am sure it would be fine stretched out. I still have not tried to fold ours back into a couch, so I can tell you about that.

The frame would work good for either thicknessbut would ffold better with the six inch. A full size mattress fits exactly to the edges

It could but I would not take the chance, , it is a very substantule mattress and we love it, but do not know how it would be folded up because of its thickness, maybe a thinner one would be better. just my opinion

That was my issue. The width listed is not of the bed but of the bed plus ladder (while slopes outward). So turned out not to fit. Note that shipping to return this bed can cost as much as the bed itself and the supplier does not cover return shipping. So if you get it and it is the wrong size you either end up paying, say, $500 in return shipping or have to try to sell it on Craigslist, eBay, or similar. I explained my situation to supplier and they were going to try to help me, but then ... no response.

I would suggest you remove mattress support. I used with my sofa bed when I have guests. Great support, but it may compromise the support boards if you fold in with sofa bed, because they have a certain pattern that it is pre-folded into.

I am not at where I have the beds right now in order to measure but when raised it is the same height as the one that is stationary and that it goes under. Just know that you can ONLY use an 8" mattress if you want it to slide under - or you have to use bed risers on the stationary one.

You can't actually fold it bilaterally too well. To fold something, you need a seam along the folded edge to allow it. If you tried to fold this mattress down the center, it would resist and even unfold itself. The thick padding is thick for comfort's sake, but it also resists. So it would create a rounded bulbous spine, which I'm sure is uncomfortable to sleep on. Maybe if you did it abunch of times, it would shift the filler material away from the spine, and it would work? That's possible.

This mattress is too thick and stiff to be folded. I don't think it is suitable for a futon or for folding it up.

I think it would be fine... The foam matress we have on our frame is 12" but it would still sit high enough off of the ground with an 8 inch matress. Functionally, I don't think the thickness of the matress would make too much of a difference.

You may be able to easily secure it and fold it in half, but once deflated it is quite a mattress as a mattress should be. Maybe a 7 or 9 inch would be a bit more friendly for your needs.

The slats included are curved (the ones that support bed) we don't have a box spring on ours but it is a thick matress with no problems. If yours is 8", that is really a thin bed, I would prob ably get a box

I bought this for my husband. Keep it in the basement. He has have never folded it, but he said that it would be the about the same height because of the back board. It would definitely fit under a bed. Hope this was helpful.

You can, pretty much any foam mattress will work. I found that a thinner mattress is better. If you put the feet and the head up the area where your bum is gets a little squeezed with a very thick mattress. Mine is 8" but 10" should be good.
