if you cant fold the mattress then what good is it? you need to be able to sit on a futon
You can. It has the attachment to the rails that keep the mattress from moving. I'm 5'2", 104lbs and I can do it. It isn't too hard. The mattress is well worth buying. I would definitely give it 5 stars without hesitation. As a matter of fact I just ordered another one for the futon in my husband's "man cave" basement dungeon. He like the one in the study so he asked to order him one too.
I use a Woolrich topper, ( got it at Target ) just so I have extra fluff......iI never have any aches anymore when I get up in the morning, I did on my conventional bed.
