Sofa mattress toppers

No, and this is the most common mistake people make. A high-density sofa topper is too thick to fit inside the folding mechanism. If you try to force it close, you risk bending the frame or tearing the foam. You must remove the sofa bed topper and store it separately when the couch is not in use.

Be careful here. Most pull-out couches are actually "Short Queens" (usually 60" x 72" or 74"), whereas a standard residential Queen is 60" x 80". If you buy a standard sleeper sofa mattress topper, it will hang over the foot of the bed. We recommend measuring your mattress surface first to ensure you choose the correct sofa mattress topper dimensions

Not necessarily. A 4-inch topper might be too heavy to move and store easily. We usually find that a 2-inch or 3-inch sofa bed mattress topper strikes the perfect balance - it is thick enough to block the metal bar, but light enough to roll up and put away in the morning.

Yes. As long as the dimensions match, this makes an excellent topper for sofa or futon configurations. It is especially helpful for futons, which tend to have a hard crease in the middle. The sofa topper cushion bridges that gap so you don't feel the split while sleeping.
