Futon John is great! We purchased a double sized futon from him over 10 years ago at the swap meet. Even after 10 years, it held its shape and did not sink. Due to an unfortunate event (someone throwing up all over it) we had to contact him to buy a new one. We scheduled an appointment and met at his house where he makes these incredible and durable futons! Only $120 for local pickup. He ships too in case you don't live locally. We also learned that he sells new covers for just $40. No bad odor. No mold or mildew. Nice and firm futon mattress. Highly recommended!!

These futons ROCK! Firm, comfortable, and cool prints. It's easy to see they don't skimp on the quality.
Helps a sore back and man, is it durable. If space is an issue... or if ya just want a chair that folds out into a bed, try one of these. You won't be sorry!

Five years ago, before we left Santee and moved to Utah we stopped at the flea market looking for bargains! I literally stumbled on John and his futons! What impressed me was the picture of a gargantuan sumo wrestler sitting on top of one of John's futons with no impression marks. I knew then that I wanted one for my oldest son who always slept on the floor. My oldest tipped the scales at 350 lbs easily! I called him and he wanted the purple one because he grad Santana HS (Purple n gold). I also bought another just in case we had guests. Well.....five years later and I get comments on how

Best product. Some look similar but don't compare. Futon John uses quality high density foam that's made to last! I purchased my full size over 18yrs ago and just last yr (2018) I took it in for a new cover! SUPER comfortable, made to LAST, SUPERB mattress! My family has purchased 4 more because they have LOVED mine.

Smooth deal all the way through! I emailed asking if a single size fabric was available for a double size at a crazy hour, and got a pretty early but appropriate response. It was processed timely and got here just as I was wondering when i should expect it, which was only a couple, maybe few days. It is a little stiff but I'd rather adjust to it. Atleast I know it'll keep its shape, and baby doesn't move If I'm moving or walking on it. I liked that it didn't have smell and came in a plastic bag instead of just cardboard. The covers do not look like they want to come
