Better value buying twin size. A lot thicker with twin than full/queen
Throwing away my bed, I wanted to start my life fresh with a minimalistic approach. I was looking for a futon type mattress but something a bit unique than your conventional futon. I was scrolling through amazon and this retro looking futon appealed to me very much.
I'm a fairly large guy: 6 feet, 270 lbs and I decided to buy the twin instead of the full. Not a regrettable decision at all. I remembered my Navy days living on the ship, and we had bunks about the same size as the twin. It helps me focus sleeping flat on my back instead of moving 200 different places during the night.
The futon is thick as advertised (lucky for me) but I do have a theory based on reviews written by other people: the twin size is thicker than the full/queen.
Perhaps it's cost effective to lessen the padding for the larger futon making the subtle price difference more appealing? The pictures shown by customers prove that the larger futons appear less thick than the twin counterpart.
