Blazing Needles' Renewal futon mattress is sold in several thicknesses, and the 8-inch full uses a three-layer foam core surrounded by cotton batting, rated medium, inside a premium twill cover that comes in a wide range of colors. That cover is the main reason to choose it: you can match the room without buying a separate futon cover. The foam core should hold its shape better than an all-cotton futon, and at 42 lb it is easier to fold than Sorra Home's 68 lb mattress. It also has weaknesses. At $222.33 on Walmart.com when we checked, it costs more than Sorra Home and Royal Sleep for a similar foam build. Buyer feedback is mixed, with a 3.2 average from 74 reviews, and the listing is sold through a third-party seller. Blazing Needles does not publish foam densities, so it is hard to judge long-term durability.
