Top 10 Best Queen Size Futon Mattress Beds (2023 Reviews)

Most of futons out there are twin sized, so, it’s hard to find a queen futon.

But lucky you! In this article, I will review 10 queen-sized futons or alternative space-saving beds.

What is a futon?

We may be talking about 2 types of furniture here, both for a good night sleep – the western futon and the japanese futon.

The Western futon is a convertible couch that can be flipped flat to become a bed. It often comes in twin size because that’s the ideal size when converted into a sofa.

The Japanese futon, on the other hand, is a high-density pad that is about 3-6-inch thick. People place it on the ground or on a firm flat surface, and sleep on it. It’s obviously not as sink-in as the western mattress, and therefore helps you avoid back pain.

This queen size futon mattress is great for support. If you like that sink-in feeling, you gotta check it out.

Featuring individually pocketed coil and 10-inch thickness, it will give you that custom support for each body part.

It’s because each coil will sink in independently of each other. How much it sinks is based on your body part weight.

That means it relieves the pressure points such as your hip and shoulders.

This queen futon mattress is probably a hit or miss. There are mixed opinions about this specific product on Amazon regarding the quality.

On one hand, it looks great and is comfortable. 8-inch mattress with cotton cover. Tufted for a sofa-like finished look.

However, there are bad reviews on Amazon saying the product is not that great because it’s sold by Wolf, and not Serta (Wolf is the oldest licensee manufacturer of Serta futon mattress).

Indeed, there is this inconsistency in sellers (some options are sold by Serta, some by Wolf). And it may have affected quality control, which leads to bad reviews on Amazon.

Serta Futon Mattresses feature Cottonique. Cottonique combines selected grades of cotton with polyester fibers for a unique, durable upholstery blend that outperforms and outlasts traditional cotton batting. As a result Serta futons are more resilient, more comfortable and yet surprisingly light. The Serta Chestnut futon mattress is a high quality foam and cotton futon with 1, 2″ foam core and 1, 2″ Storm, Wolf’s bonded fiber pad, surrounded by layers of Wolf’s cotton blend. It is 8″ thick and provides firm support. It has a five year warranty. Machine lace tufts and true box casing construction complete the Chestnut. All Serta Futon mattresses are compressed, rolled and boxed which makes for ease in shipping and installation.

Tufted and box cased for a great finished look
