is this thick enough for a futon to add some extra comfort and fill in the gap so you won't feel the divider when folded down flat?

Hi. I would think so. It's not as thick as my previous mattress pad but it's very soft and I haven't had an issue since putting it in my bed. It would add that extra layer but also be flexible to fix on a futon.

I agree. This would fold in an adjustable bed. If your bed has large gaps in the slats like in a standard bed (non-platform), the mattress will sink into the gaps a little. I placed some thicker cardboard down first and the mattress holds up nicely with that without compressing into the gaps.

Since it comes rolled up, it should fold in half. Whether it will stay in that shape in a futon frame I don't know.

Probably not because the weight of the mattress is what helps keep this in place. Regular thickness mattress and thin box spring would be OK.

Yes, just remember to put in the spacers so you can tuck in your blankets and sheets at the ends of the bed. I have bought two of these for my home and one for my granddaughter. Great for people who need extra storage. I feel no difference between my old box spring and this, and I have lots of storage under my beds now.

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.

It lays flat but thickness difference in the two sections, about 3 inches, probably wouldn't be comfortable.

futon mattresses are designed to fold. this one is not. you might make it work if you strapped it down at the fold and at both ends but its 8 inches thick and will only fold with difficulty. i wouldn't try it.

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.

My opinion is 'yes.' We already had the futon but needed a new frame. This one is 'shorter' to the floor than our previous one so less 'stuff' fits under it.

Yes. My mattress is 8-10 inches and there is space for additional thickness.

It certainly is not as flat as a sheet. I have a cover for mine and it has some loft to it, just not the three or four inches you have with down.

I think mijcar has the truth of it. I'm doing a low-budget version of what you describe: I have two of these side by side and the slightly-more expensive rolled futon (from the same company) on top of that. It's very comfortable. I have some movement under the "bedroll" because I'm laying lengthwise on it, but if I understand your plan you intend to be lying "against" the grain, so to speak, widthwise. If so, it should be fine. Actually, once I get a new place with more room I might well do the same thing you suggest. It's a good idea.

The space between the slats is 3 1/2". I don't think that a futon mattress would slide through, it would be too thick.

Yes, you could use this on a futon and fold it easily. It is not much thicker than a fitted sheet.

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

I would think it would certainly add quite a bit of softness. However, it feels like jell foam pockets and it probably wouldn't fill up where it dips down and make it level. It would have to be an improvement as it was a big improvement on an old mattress.
