Hey people from Lemmy, i like to try out a Futon since many people report they found better sleep with it. I would love to read some more experiences.

So anyone who slept on a Futon on a daily Basis how is or was your experience with it?

Edit: Thanks for all your replies. I think i go for it and just try one out!

I have slept on one for around a year in the past. It was relatively cheap, but with a frame.

It was generally fine. A lot firmer that the mattresses that I have slept on most of the time otherwise, and I think that I do prefer a softer option overall, but it was still perfectly comfortable. I did find that I needed to remake/rearrange the bedding much more often than on a bed: fitted sheets didn't work with the futon, which was the main cause.

I would sleep on one again for a limited period without issue, but wouldn't be happy if I had to have one permanently from now on - or, at least, I would want to put in a good deal of research on the range of types available.
