We ordered the strap kit, but ended up not needing them, as the spring mattress stays firmly in place by itself.

To be honest, the mattress that I have doesn't stay very well in sofa position. I have an older futon mattress (circa 2002)...so perhaps they've come out with mattresses that don't slide anymore? Ours has been in our storage area for the past 2 years now, serving as an area that holds my kids outgrown clothes, lol. So I don't use it much anymore. Hope this helps.

You can use your old springs. The trampoline mat works great. The net that I bought is also fantastic.

Hi this is super old so I don't know if you'll see it, but Phoenix over at Mattress Underground really knows his stuff about mattresses and what to do in this situation. He's got a great long standing forum that covers everything you've ever wanted to know and more about mattresses and toppers and materials. ( I know this sounds like I'm a paid shill, but I'm not... I swear. :) I've just had really good luck over there when I've had questions of this sort.)

I have a queen sized bed so I bought the queen one. It depends I guess on the size of your futon. If the queen us too big for that but standard is too small. You can always cut it to fit. Though I would be careful doing that, as it's very thick. But that might help!

The frame itself does not move while occupied, the "feet" have rubber stoppers attached. If you do not have a frame to put frame into the mattress slides .. there are no stoppers for holding the mattress in place.

You will need to contract the manufacture or they may be available at a local hardware store. I contacted the manufacture due to foam padding on the side of the trampoline deteriorating and have yet to hear from them.

I highly recommend using a box spring. If you don't you will probably ruin your mattress.

No springs. Just like any air mattress but not as fat. Meant to go over top of a the spring section of the original mattress. This is a replacement of the air portion only so that you don't have to buy the whole thing if the air section leaks or gets weak. Folds up inside the main mattress into the sofa bed. If this doesn't make sense that means this is not the thing you're looking for.

The mattress itself isn't very soft. You may want the mattress pad... or you may want a different mattress. This one has some problems. The biggest problem (besides being hard and springy) is that it folds right in the middle, which means that it doesn't fit my futon very well because the seat is a fixed length and sticks out too far. In hindsight, I might have been better off buying a cheap mattress from Ikea or someplace.

You are suppose to wedge them in between the mattress and foundation. They didn't work for us since we have a platform bed and no box springs.

My best advice would be to maybe try a 3 to 4in topper if your putting it on the futon. When fully aired out this topper is very comfortable on a regular mattress because its not too soft but not hard at all. If your futon is the same as the one i have in my den then not much will make that comfortable enough to sleep on unless you put a complete mattress on it with a mattress topper. So hopefully this response helped you in your shopping experience.

Nothing to prevent the mattress from hanging over, imagine a metal futon frame, well made but a frame on wheels. You probably can get away with it. We use ours under my daughter's day bed for her sleep overs.

I would recommend getting an egg crate to put on top of it. This futon is very hard. I've had people complain about sleeping on it for one night.

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.

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!
