Hi ccox,
Welcome to the Mattress Forum! 
And congratulations on the new futon mattress for your son from Memory Foam Comfort. :cheer:
If you come up with more specific questions about a potential purchase for your own mattress, feel free to post on the forum and I’ll do my best to answer your questions. I know you’ve been reading already on the site, but make sure that the mattress shopping tutorial is part of that research.
