Best Futons

The EMOOR Japanese traditional futon is one of the best models you'll come across on the market. Produced in Japan and made of premium-quality materials, the item boasts great durability and long service life.

As far as the filler goes, the mattress is stuffed with a mixture of polyester and soft fiber. There is quite a lot of filling in there, so, the futon is pretty high, firm, and supportive. As such, it will suit even those who experience some back pain since it provides enough support for your spine. On the other hand, it is flexible enough to not cause discomfort and can be neatly folded for compact storage. It is a great solution for households lacking in additional sleeping space as well as for college dormitories.

The other thing that contributes to the mattress durability and prolongs its service life is the mattress cover. The cover case is made of tear-resistant cotton with an enhanced 200 thread count. The stitching on top of the cover is very robust as well, so it can stand up to frequent use.

The mattress size we review here is a long twin but there are also 5 more size options available. The dimensions are 39 x 83 inches with a thickness of 2.5 inches. The weight for this size is pretty average (around 11 pounds).

All things considered, the EMOOR is a great floor futon that will be as comfortable as a full-size bed. So, if you need an extra sleeping space in a guest room, we recommend going with this model.

If you frequently have guests who stay overnight but you lack space for an extra bed or couch, a decent futon like the FULI traditional Shiki futon will be a way out. It's a big and comfortable model providing a comfy sleeping place for the night sleep even on the floor.

With the Twin XL size measuring 39" x 83" x 2”, the mattress is big enough for a single adult and will easily accommodate two smaller children or teenagers.

Filled with polyester stuffing, the mattress is pretty firm but not too much, which makes it comfortable to lie on and suitable to be placed on the floor. With the filling thickness of 3 inches, it provides good body support. As such, this futon will fit not only for independent use but also for covering futon beds and twin beds if you want to add some extra firmness to the old mattress.

Moving on to the cover, it is made of 100% hygroscopic cotton fabric that boasts great moisture-absorbing properties. So, there will be no sweaty bedding even on hot summer nights. Note that the futon itself is not washable, so you need to use sheets or covers on top of it in order to keep it clean.

In conclusion, if you need a quality futon to arrange a comfy sleeping place wherever you need, the FULI Japanese Traditional Shiki Futon will get you covered.

If you need a lightweight and affordable futon that is easy to store in a small apartment or dorm room, take a look at the Luxton Home Japanese Shiki Futon. It is a compact foldable option that can become handy in many situations.

The major advantage of this model is that it is pretty thin (2.5 inches) and can be easily rolled for compact storage and no-hassle handling, though it is still pretty comfy to sleep on. It is also very light, with a weight of 4.6 pounds, and you can carry it with you when traveling, camping, tailgating, or simply doing some yoga outside. Just try to be careful in order not to stain it since it is non-washable.

The other cool thing about this model is that the futon is made of hypoallergenic and antibacterial materials. Therefore, it is not prone to mold and germ build-up and perfectly suits people with sensitive skin and small kids.

The dimensions of this model are 39" x 83", which is a Twin Long size. There are also Queen Long and Full Long options available to accommodate two persons. We also want to add that no matter what size you go with, they all will be easy to roll and store.

To wrap the whole thing up, the Luxton is hands down the best futon for this money. It is light, compact, easy to store and carry around. Plus, it is made of quality materials to fit the needs of allergic users.

Those who seek a portable futon mattress should consider buying this model from MAXYOYO. Not only is it pretty thick and convenient to lie on but also it is flexible enough to be folded into a fairly small roll.

First of all, this model is stuffed with a combination of cotton and memory foam. Thanks to that, it boasts orthopedic properties and perfectly suits users who suffer from neck and back pains in the mornings. The mattress neatly adapts to the shape of your body to provide reliable and anatomical support. The thickness of this model (4 inches) is a bit higher as compared to its counterparts in our list, but it is still relatively light (at 10 pounds).

The futon is delivered rolled into a compact bag that requires barely any space. Before the first use, the manufacturer recommends leaving the futon unfolded for a few days to let it get back into shape. To speed up the whole process, leave it under direct sunlight.

Lastly, this item is available in different colors. You can go with bright models like purple or turquoise or stick with the darker ones (and thus, not easily stained) if you intend to place the futon on the floor.

So, if you suffer from back pain but can’t afford a more expensive orthopedic mattress, the futon from MAXYOYO will do just fine. It has orthopedic features and can easily be folded when not in use.

With the Setra double-sided futon, you will be able to create a comfy additional sleeping space in your home without paying too much. This mattress can be a functional complement to a futon bed in the bedroom or you can simply place it on the floor.

Despite a relatively affordable price, this model boasts a pretty decent quality. What we like most is the organic filler the mattress is stuffed with. Two CertiPUR foam tubes are combined with Wolf's bonded fiber pad to form a solid and flexible core. As a result, the mattress is firm enough to provide good back support and prevent discomfort by keeping your body in a proper anatomical position.

Another benefit of this model worth mentioning is extra thickness. About 8 inches thick, the futon can withstand heavier loads without sagging. And you can still roll it for space-saving storage if necessary. The only downside to this added thickness is a heavier weight of 45.5 lbs that makes it not suitable for carrying around.

Last but not least, a few words about the design. This floor futon comes in a soft-to-the-touch durable cotton cover. You can get it in black, khaki, neutral, brown and gray shades. As for the sizes, Full and Queen options are available and are good for two sleepers.

In a word, the Setra dual-sided futon is a good replacement for a full-scale bed mattress at a reasonably lower price. If you seek an affordable option for improving your sleeping space, it will get you covered.
