Finding The Right Futon Cushions
A futon cushion is very similar to a ordinary bed mattress. When shopping for one, consider how firm you want the mattress to be. Below is a guide to the different degrees of firmness in a mattress and the types of brands that make them. Soft mattresses can be categorized as simply soft or ultra-soft. The ultra-soft futon cushion is made of numerous layers and cushions the body really well. The Fusion Velotec futon cushion is a great example of one that is ultra-soft.
This mattress has a 6 inch foam core and has a number of foam layers that create the ultra-soft feeling. The soft futon cushions do not have as far cushion, but are still extremely soft with lots of layers and soft foam. If you sit on these, you will certainly sink a bit lower. Examples of the soft futon cushion include the Luxury futon cushion and the Quasar futon cushion.
The next category of futon cushions are characterized as medium in softness. These range from those on the softer side to those on the firmer side. The medium soft mattresses have extra foam like the soft mattresses, but have a bit much more polyester to make it slightly firmer than a soft mattress.
Fine examples of these include the Saturn futon cushion, the Haley 90, and the Aries futon cushion. The next level up is what are characterized as medium.
These include the Phoenix, the Mercury and the Pulsar mattress. Usually, these have layers of foam, but the top layer is a polyester layer making it a bit much more firm. This means the mattress won’t sink down a lot when you sit on it, but will still be bouncy when lying down. There is more support from these, but the mattresses are not firm. Finally, in the medium category, you have the medium firm mattress.
