This one is polyester so very easy to wipe if the kids get it dirty something so i would recommend one with polyester. And the inside is cotton. They got pictures of Amazon too to show the size and what it looks like.","subreddit_name":"Montessori","author":"idonteatchips"},{"body":"I have experience in this! We ditched our mattress 4 years ago this month. It took getting used to but now it's just as comfortable. That sounds like a lie but it's really true lol. I am also a side sleeper. I didn't want to invest much in an experiment so I got the ones linked below. I definitely want carpet under the futon so if you have wood I would recommend a think rug. They of course have thicker ones but I look forward to bed every night and it resets my back at night so I don't want to mess with a good thing. \r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Futon-Furniture-Traditional-Mattresses-Meditation/dp/B003VQNM2I","subreddit_name":"minimalism","author":"Todayistheday20"},{"body":"I'm single, but let me tell you about my Heaven Bed. You might not find a more comfy option. I bought a shikifuton from Amazon and repurposed a 3\" full size memory foam pad. The shikifuton is only wide enough for one person, so you would need to get 2 (it saves space over air mattresses). The luxurious part is taking the cheaper 3\" memory foam, using a box cutter to slice it in half, double stack it... now you have a perfectly fitted 6\" of memory foam. \r\n\r\nIt's more comfortable than my bed and is worth the price. The foam can be squished down to very little.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VQNM2I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1","subreddit_name":"BurningMan","author":"Catnip323"},{"body":"Craigslist is your friend for couches. I got a $3k (new) leather couch in good condition for $200 that way. That was one of many choices at the time, for no more than $400. It's long and comfortable to sleep on and I could probably sell it for $200 when I move. Add another ~$100 for a nice [Japanese futon](https://www.amazon.com/Futon-Furniture-Traditional-Japanese-Mattresses/dp/B003VQNM2I) and you've got beds for 2 guests.","subreddit_name":"malelivingspace","author":"wupdup"},{"body":"I recommend checking out the Japanese shikibutons. I had one for about a year and it worked out great for my small bedroom. There are models that can fold up into a couch when coupled with a special frame. There are ones you have to roll up every day to keep it from flattening too much. \r\n\r\nI used a fake bamboo picnic mat to keep the bottom of the buton clean. It ran me about $80 US but well worth the money. I recommend, if say you buy a twin size, to buy the next size up for the fitted sheet. It will help keep the sheet from undoing itself.\r\n\r\nI hope this helps! https://www.amazon.com/Futon-Furniture-Traditional-Japanese-Mattresses/dp/B003VQNM2I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1505107924\u0026amp;sr=8-2\u0026amp;keywords=shikibuton","subreddit_name":"Mattress","author":"Yarnie2015"},{"body":"\u0026gt; Might need a thinner and/or lighter futon mattress.

I slept with it on a carpeted floor, and I made a point of rolling it up every morning and airing it out every weekend and had no problems with moisture or mold.\r\n\r\nI've also just tossed that shikibuton on top of camping cots and found it totally comfortable. That would give you plenty of air under it. \r\n\r\nUnfortunately, my husband is pretty insistent on a larger bed and insisted on a regular mattress as well.\r\n","subreddit_name":"minimalism","author":"Countenance"},{"body":"Memory type foam will not last 5-10 years, maybe a few years at most. Latex foam, on the other hand, will last up to 30 years, but also be extremely expensive. I think your best bet for durability vs value is a Japanese style roll up bed with mostly cotton batting, like [this](http://www.amazon.com/Traditional-Japanese-Futon-Mattresses-Meditaion/dp/B003VQNM2I/). Look up massage table coverings to find linens that fit. We have this particular futon for a spare bed and it works just fine with a twin size waterproof mattress protector. The futon is narrower and longer than a twin, but you can tuck the extra width under and stretch out the length (most mattress protectors are made to fit ultra deep mattresses, and this futon is just a few inches thick). It's long enough for a tall adult to sleep on. The width is not crazy - noticeably narrower than a twin, but still fine for a single reasonably trim adult.\r\n\r\nIf you do not roll or fold up the bed every night, and keep it directly on the floor, you are likely to get mold. I would definitely plan to get something that rolls/folds, and put it away every day. This also helps keep impressions from forming and will help it last longer.","subreddit_name":"minimalism","author":"77cruzviz77"},{"body":"I've never trusted air mattresses so I slept on this roll-up futon last year and it was amazing:\r\n\r\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Traditional-Japanese-Futon-Mattresses-Meditaion/dp/B003VQNM2I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1439938807\u0026amp;sr=8-3\u0026amp;keywords=roll+up+futons","subreddit_name":"BurningMan","author":"mfloral"},{"body":"I've seen a lot of variations of [this](http://www.amazon.com/Traditional-Japanese-Futon-Mattresses-Meditaion/dp/B003VQNM2I/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1433036373\u0026amp;sr=8-8\u0026amp;keywords=floor+bed) kind of Japanese mattress.
