[lifestyle] latex futon for side sleeping?

i wanted to switch to futon so i can put it away during day cuz my bed just takes up so much space and collects so much dust.

but from what i read im not sure if it wont be too big of a comfort downgrade. i already sleep on quite shitty setup with quite hard 10cm mattress. and im a side sleeper. if futon will be any less comfortable then that, that might be issue.

i was considering futon that has 6cm cotton 4cm latex and 6cm cotton. (also its advertized as it using cotton plates instead cotton balls or something like that?) idk how well thats gonna do. most people seem to use cotton only futons. hopefully this one is as good as the mattress i got?

Unless the futon has an innerspring mattress it's not a long-term option.

isnt the latex core enough? but yeah, heard they compress till they are like wooden plank

Exactly, you will only be able to feel a bar in your back.
