Futon Mattress that folds into 3?

Posted under sofa futon

I have a wood futon that folds into a loveseat-type sofa when closed, but the mattress on top doesn't fold in half, it folds into 3! Any idea where I can find one similar cause I need a new one. Oh, and the futon was bought from someone who doesn't know either. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jackie,

It seems the Japanese put their futons away each, and a tri-fold futon is easier to put in the closet daily.

That being said, an American web site that might be able to help you is:

Good luck, hope you can find what you need.

I love Traditional Japanese Futons. I have found many American or just over priced Futons, but I am looking for a Japanese Shiki Futon. New or used. And also a cover.

Japanese Futons are very expencive in the USA.
There is a Japanese producer located in the USA doing Futons in the Japanese way.
