Can you use a mattress pad on a futon?

Question

Hello.. I really need some help deciding what to do.. I have to sleep on a futon for a while, as I do not have enough money to buy a new bed, so I'm wondering about my options with this. Can I put a full size mattress pad on my FUTON mattress? The futon mattress is so uncomfortable its ridiculous.. if...

You've probably considered this, but depending where you are, many people are just selling their futon mattress on sites like craigslist.com. I've seen some in my area for as low as $30. Get a full one that's at least eight inches thick! Don't use them both though. I saw your question looking for one myself!

This way, if you buy a mattress that actually goes on a futon (and could be folded) you use it as a couch if you ever decide to or could sell them both at a better price if/when you need to!
