How long will a futon mattress last?
We have customers who change their futon after 4 or 5 years and others who use their futon for 10 years or longer. Futons become firmer over time and the lifespan will be different for different people. It depends on many factors including: your weight: the lighter you are the longer any mattress will last. your profile: if you sleep on your side your mattress has to accommodate the shape of your hips and shoulders. For this reason there is some degree of gender difference – men tend to like firmer mattresses than women. If you sleep on you back your profile is flatter and a firmer mattress is more acceptable; how well you look after your futon: the cotton in your futon will absorb moisture from your body – rolling and turning your futon once a week will air it and restore the loft of the fibres. The more you do this the longer your futon will last.
