How to make a futon pad more comfortable?




I’m a college student and i live in the dorms. I have a loft and under i have a futon and the pad is starting to get flimsy. I want to make it better and thicker like it was when first bought. I flipped it around. lay it flat when im in in class.

Should I:
1) Just buy a new pad
2) Buy an addition pad and put it in the cover with the other pad so i have 2 pads to make it thicker.
3) Buy a memory foam pad for both sides.

I live in small place so it would be better if i got a futon or day bed to save space without getting both a bed and couch. Which one is more comfortable for sleeping.

I am sick of my futon and I want to transform it visually and functionally into a sofa. I recently purchased a slipcover for a sofa and I am trying to figure out how to construct the arms to be like those of a sofa. I’ve bought some pillows and duct tape. That should be okay for the arm rest part of the arm, but what do i do with the part of the arm that would be along the back of the sofa… crap that doesn’t make sense. Okay if the sofa arm was your arm, I think I’m okay with the forearm part of it, but the upper arm has me stumped. how do i build "biceps" on my soon-to-be sofa? It doesn’t have to be pretty because it will be under a slip cover.

Please let me know if you’ve done this before or if you have any ideas.

Thank you!!!

How can I (cheaply) get syrup out of a futon?




The girl I was babysitting decided to dump a bottle of syrup and a bag of sugar on my futon in the middle of the night.
I don’t have money to rent a steamer or anything, but is there anything I can to?

How do you fully close a futon?




Not lay the futon out flat or in the couch position, well in the couch position except the top is laid down on to the bottom?

I have a very small bedroom and i think a futon would conserve some space in my room. but i am concerned that sleeping on a futon every day would be hard on my back. is their a futon with a box spring or anything that could give my back support. Please let me know. Thank You!

Sealy vs. Serta???




I am a 13 year old guy. I am currently sleeping on a Serta mattress, which is a big improvement to the futon I was sleeping on. I like the Serta ok, but I sometimes wake up with backpains. Anybody here who has slept on both, do you think a Sealy is a better brand mattress than a Serta? Because my dad is open to buying me any new kind I want.
Thanks
Sam

Or other relatives for that matter. This has been an ongoing issue for me, because my husband’s 8 1/2 year old niece still sleeps in the bed with his parents (her grandparents). I personally feel that it is inappropriate because of: 1) her age and 2) she’s a girl. Also, my father inlaw usually sleeps in a wife beater (sort of a tank top for those of you who don’t know what that is) and underwear. Not boxers … regular Fruit of the Loom underwear. My mother inlaw sleeps in a night gown, which is fine.

She spent the night with us a couple of times and flat out told my husband she was not going to sleep in another room by herself. We have a guest room and she didn’t want to sleep in there. I understood that she may be a little freaked out, so I told my husband to pull out the air mattress or bring the futon from the other room and let her sleep in the living room (which is right next to our room). I went to wash my hair and got ready to go to bed and she was in our bed …
With my husband. I slept on the floor on an air mattress because I felt uncomfortable. I have know her for the past four years, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to sleep with other people’s kids. Her mother barely knows me. Her father (my husband’s adopted brother) knows me a little but we aren’t close or anything.

I expressed my concern to my husband and he got offended (as usual when it comes to his niece). He eventually admitted that he thought it was wrong to do but is too scared to speak up to his mother (another issue in itself). I don’t want to ruin my relationship with my inlaws so that’s the only reason why I won’t say anything. They’re very protective of this child and get overly defensive when it comes to her.

What are your thoughts?
The girl lives with her mother but spends 80-90% of the time at my inlaws. Her father sees her every now and then. My mother inlaw is a bit of a control freak so she enjoys having so much control over the child. Neither of her parents really have time for her. So the fact that she can go to my inlaws anytime she wants (literally) is right up their alley. It seems to be a convenience for everyone involved, and my inlaws are too obsessed with this child to see that the things they do and allow will hurt her in the long run.
