Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right futon mattress size for my bedroom?

The right size depends on the available space, the number of sleepers, and your preferred amount of personal sleeping room. A 90x200 or 120x200 mattress works well for one person, while 140x200, 160x200, 180x200, and 200x200 are double sizes. Measure both the bed frame and the available room space before ordering, leaving enough clearance to move comfortably around the bed.

Can a futon mattress be used as part of a sofa?

Yes, but only selected futon models are designed to bend and fold regularly on a sofa frame. Slim and other flexible futons are better suited to this type of use. Thicker Medium and Comfort mattresses are designed primarily for flat sleeping surfaces and should not be repeatedly folded or rolled.

What type of base is best for a futon mattress?

A futon mattress should be placed on a supportive base that allows air to circulate underneath. Closely spaced wooden slats or tatami mats are suitable options. Keeping a futon permanently on a solid, unventilated floor is not recommended, as regular airflow underneath the mattress is important.

How should I care for a futon mattress?

Regular airing and turning help the filling wear more evenly. Rotate the mattress from head to foot and top to bottom, and allow it to ventilate regularly. Only flexible models designed for rolling should be rolled. Medium and Comfort futons do not require rolling and should remain flat.

What fillings are available in futon mattresses?

Pascall futon mattresses are primarily based on layers of cotton batting. Depending on the model, additional materials such as latex, coconut fibre, or wool may be included to change the firmness, elasticity, and overall feel of the mattress. Always check the individual product specification for the exact construction.

Who is a 200x200 futon mattress suitable for?

A 200x200 futon mattress is designed for spacious bedrooms and sleepers who want a particularly generous sleeping area. It offers two people substantial individual space and works especially well where the dimensions of the room allow for a large square bed.

Which futon mattress size is best for two people?

For two sleepers, 140x200 is a compact double option, while 160x200 provides more everyday space. A 180x200 or 200x200 mattress offers an even more spacious sleeping surface and is usually better suited to larger bedrooms.
