Replacing futon mattress stuffing proves to be an easy task that doesn't take much time.
-
Locate the zipper at the one of the sides of the futon mattress. All commercially manufactured futons feature zippered sides for ease of cleaning and maintenance.
-
Fold the top layer of the futon's cover open wide to expose the stuffing inside.
-
Remove the stuffing by either rolling it in one piece and pulling it out or piece by piece. Discard the old stuffing.
-
Layer approximately 4 inches of cotton batting over the inside of the spread-out futon cover. Stuff more in if you want a firmer, thicker mattress. For a soft effect layer about 3 inches of goose down feathers over top the cotton batting.
-
Place the top of the cover back over the exposed filling, and zip up the futon.
