Resolved Question: Experienced CAT people...help with cat peeing on my futon!!?

Hi, I've already researched the other answers on how to get your cat to stop peeing on the furniture, so please, I need different answers. My situation is a bit more complicated. First of all, my cat is already fixed (spayed). So that's not the issue. Here's the story: I have 2 female cats that get along wonderfully- both spayed. They are inside cats & we have a dog outside. One cat ran outside (my 3 year old left the screen door open too long) a couple days ago & my dog decided to rough her up. She's fine, but she did get a minor injury. I'm pretty sure my other cat is reacting to her friend not feeling well (by peeing on our futon). She's done it before when I've changed her food. Seems like she does it when she's upset, etc. Other than these few incidences, she's always used the litter box. As u can imagine, I've tried spraying the soiled areas with special spray (It's called Dumb Cat) and it's supposed to break up the enzymes, etc. I also put a waterproof mattress cover over the futon. So my question is, can anyone suggest any other products or sprays that work REALLY well? I need her to avoid the area. I've heard "feliway" is good. Should I thoroughly clean the area (again) with a better product & then spray the stuff that keeps cats OFF the area? Do you think she'll go find a new spot to pee on? I know, there's no way of knowing. I'd squirt her with the squirt bottle IF i was able to catch her doing it....I've only seen her do it once. I have 2 kids & I'm not always home, so it's kinda hard to stand around & watch her. Thank u in advance for suggestions!! Please, no rude comments from "dog people". I love dogs too. I also love my cats & want to fix the problem. Animals are not disposable. more

Voting Question: Help! Could this be bed bugs?

I've had bed bugs before but it was somewhere around 9 years ago. One day out of nowhere came a large bug bite. A couple of days later I noticed one more bite. I know that isn't very much but my dad mentioned that it could be from bed bugs. When I had it last time, I had many many bites. I have a futon mattress. We looked all over it and even inside where the filling is. I found nothing and so did he. We looked for probably 20 minutes. I have a really severe fear of bugs so I am freaking out. I am afraid to lay on the bed even though we found absolutely no signs of them. So, with just 2 bites in 3 days, do you think it could be bed bugs? Or more likely something else? Any help is appreciated because it is 11pm and I should be sleeping but I am afraid to lay down. My fear of bugs is irrational. So, help is very much appreciated. Thanks. more

Resolved Question: Would this futon be comfortable to sleep/sit on?

I am thinking of getting a futon for our livingroom, because the couch we have now is getting ripped & my boyfriend wants something that turns into a bed, we've looked for sofa beds but can't find any our only choice of a couch/bed is a futon so i am wondering if they are comfortable to sleep on every night and to sit on daily, of course. This is the one i am thinking of buying from my local canadian tire http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/3/HouseHome/Furniture/TablesChairs/PRDOVR~0681301P/Wooden%252BFuton.jsp?locale=en If you don't want to click the link here is the description "- This traditionally styled futon converts quickly and easily from sofa to full-sized sleeper bed - Features the beauty and durability of solid hardwood armrests - Features a 6" (15 cm) microfibre mattress in tan color with a quilted top - Some assembly required" Any help? it's only $229 on sale...and original price is $299 not including taxes.

Resolved Question: What should I do about my sore tailbone?

I have been having a sore tailbone for about a month now, and I do know why. I recently got a new futon mattress which is thicker than the last one, but it feels more airy. It's hard to explain. The point is, I can feel the bars through the mattress when i do anything on it...sleep, lay down, sit, stand, etc. and I think that that is why I am having this problem. I had no injury that would lead to it so it HAS to be this damn futon/futon mattress. The frame itself is about a year old but like I have said, this mattress is about a month old, same as my tailbone problem. I know what kind of things I can do to stop it like pain relievers and soaking, but why even try that when the pain is just going to come back from sleeping on it and using it everyday. There is no other way to replace the mattress and we don't have the financial means to buy a better futon or buy a bed, so what should I do? If I keep sleeping on it, will my tailbone become severly damaged or anything like that? My dad did buy the cheapest futon frame in the whole store too, so that can also be a contributing factor. Here's a picture of the frame...Thanks :)https://www.boscovs.com/wcsstore/boscovs/images/store/product/images/51679947654029.jpgAlso, I cannot return the mattress because neighbor had given it to me. I love futons and have a small room so if I get a bed then it will leave me no free space :( I also like the avalibility of having a couch in the day, and bed at night. I just think we should have invested into a couple hundred dollar futon because that's what I've read. https://www.boscovs.com/wcsstore/boscovs/images/store/product/images/51679947654029.jpg <--- correct picture more

Voting Question: Allergies! question about cleaning pet dander?

I'm kind of allergic to cats and their fur/dander. I got a futon mattress and pillows from a house with a cat. they had some cat hair and dander on them so I took the covers off them and washed them twice (cold water as instructed on the tags of the mattress covers and pillow covers). But I can still visibly see cat hair on them. Will I be allergic to them still? Is it possible that the stuff that causes the allergy (dander) got washed off and the remaining cat hairs can just be lint rolled off? more

Resolved Question: What kind of bed would be comfortable for us both and not have to spend a lot of money?

I love a soft bed. We had been sleeping on a sofa sleeper mattress on the floor with a 4 in. memory foam on top. It works but i've endured minor back pain/stiffness from it. So we put the thin mattress and memory foam topper on the futon sleeper and I slept more comfortable than I have in months! I felt great! But when told my boyfriend, he complained that he hadn't and that his chest hurts, that the bed is too soft. I don't want to get rid of the foam topper but I would like some suggestions of whats a good compromise for us both. Thanks. more

Resolved Question: So, the bedframe is too big?

My fiancee and I recently moved in together and he had a futon. The futon worked for a while until it bent and was unusable. So we had to find a frame, boxspring, and matress all on a budget. And I mean B U D G E T. We are TIGHT on money... Im not going into details on that. So we got a 44 dollar universtal type frame from Value City. It says it can be a twin to a king frame. The thing is so cheap it didnt even come with instructions, just a diagram pitcture thing. There are three sizes. A twin/full. A twin/full/queen. And a king/cal king. The ONLY difference between the first two is the middle of the queen has a bar going down. The size for the frame though is the same for a twin, a double and a queen. We have a double bed, the same size as the futon we had. After we got the frame set up and put the boxspring and mattress on the bed, we realized something. The frame is a little further from the side of the bed. About three inches further. I assume its because it could also fit a queen? We got the matress and frame pushed up against the wall - where my fiancee sleeps - and so it hangs on the left side - where I sleep - and my fiancee is scared Im going to hurt myself waking up to pee or something in the morning cause Im short. We cant fit the bed to where its not hanging out on my end, cause then the matress is away from the wall and fiancee will probably roll off and hurt himself. What are we supposed to do? There is no possible way we could afford even the cheapest frame right now. We have to save the rest of what we have for rent and utilities and will be lucky if we have enough left.The twin/full notches are the same as the queen notches. I could take picture of the box if needed. Both the twin/full diagram and twin/full/queen diagram use Fig. B to show you exactly where the notches go. more

Resolved Question: Where to find an inexpensive pull out sleeper sofa?

I'm moving into a studio apartment in two months and am looking for a sleeper sofa but am having trouble finding what I'm looking for and want to see if anyone else has found something suitable that can point me to the right company/brand/store. Here is what I need: I will be sleeping on this bed exclusively for two years while I'm in Grad school so I want one that pulls out (so I can put nice sheets on it and people wont be sitting on it all the time) I do not want one that folds flat like a futon. I'm looking for a full but will settle for any size if it's in my price range. Styling is unimportant My budget is $550.00 but I would really like something under 500. Ikea has one for 499, but it doesn't look to be very high quality and I just feel like there has to be one out there somewhere a little nicer I will no under any circumstances purchase a used sleeper sofa. So no craigslist. I am a very fastidious person who is appalled by the idea of sleeping on a used mattress from someone I don't know. In my mind it isn't clean and could have bed bugs or fleas in it, so I need something new. I know a lot of you out there live in studio apartments. How did you solve this problem? What did you buy to sleep on? more

Resolved Question: How do you STOP a cat from peeing on a futon?

I have had absolutely NO problems with my cat since we got him as a kitty 2 1/2 years ago. He always used the litter box and we clean that about every to every other day. He is neutered and never sprayed in his entire life. We recently got two Golden Retriever puppies a month ago and he is adjusting quite well to the change. Once, we brought the puppies down to the basement and shut the door to the cat's litter so they wouldn't go in there and eat the poo.... of course my husband then FORGOT to re-open the door and we found that the cat had peed and pooped on the new futon. Yes, it was completely our fault and we felt really bad about it. However, now he won't stop urinating on the futon. We have cleaned the futon MANY times and even sprayed the mattress itself with a non-ammonia cleaner. Fortunately, he still uses his litter box to go the bathroom but he seems to feel the need to mark his territory by peeing (and yes peeing not spraying) on the futon every time we clean it. Is there any way to break a cat of this habit without buying a new futon?? I appreciate any help I can get! Thanks more

Voting Question: Can you put tatami mats on a futon frame?

I am setting up a guest room, but since it's also doubling as a playroom, I need to get something fold-able that would also serve as something to sit on. The main issue I'm having is that my traditional Asian parents like to sleep on a hard surface. I was thinking of getting a futon (frame and mattress) as well as tatami mats. When my parents visit, I'd pull off the mattress and put the tatami mats on the frame. Then for any other guests, we can use the mattress. Putting the tatami mats on the frame also prevents my elderly parents from having to get up and down from the floor. Ideally I want something like this but fold-able: http://www.orientalfurniture.com/oriental-furniture/TATAMI-BED-WAL.html In that picture, it looks like the tatami mats just rest on top of a frame that has wood slats for support - which basically is what a futon frame is. I'm just worried about whether it would be stable or if there is something about tatami mats that you shouldn't put it on a futon frame. more

Resolved Question: Bed Bugs - Legal Action against Roommate?

Okay I will try to summarize as best I can. I live on the first floor of a three family house. The landlord and his family (6 people total) live upstairs, they occupy the second and third floor. My floor has two bedrooms that a close friend of mine and I shared until March of 2009. I finally had another roommate move in at the end of May. By the end of June I started seeing bug bites on my ankles and legs. I didn't think too much of it at first, It would only be two or three of them, and not every night. It was summer, there are mosquitoes and the house I live in is older, strange bugs make appearances from time to time. By the end of July however I noticed more of them, and on the day I woke up w/more than a dozen bites I started researching. Bed Bugs came up in most searches, along w/fleas and chiggers. The other two are easily eliminated so I focused on the bed bugs. I couldn't however find any sign of them in my room the way that any of the sites I went to said to check for them. After a week of this I figured I must be overreacting. I went away for the second week of August and the bites pretty much stopped though, so my suspicions arose again, and by the end of that next week after vacation I finally spotted one next to my pillow in the early morning hours. I freaked of course. I notified my landlord that day who had his wife contact an exterminator immediately. They were unable to come out for a full week but I was just glad something was in the works. When I spoke to my roommate however that night, to ask him if he'd gotten any bug bites lately, his reply was 'oh yeah, I'd been meaning to ask you about that,' and went on to say he thought it might be something from my birds. (I have 4 conures, I'm meticulous w/their cages and sweeping/vacuuming of the area they're in. My oldest one is almost 14 years old and I've had them long enough to feel confident I'd recognize something this major w/them.) Needless to say I was a bit insulted but I didn't want to start anything, I just wanted the problem taken care of. I assured him it did not come from the birds, and that it was in fact bed bugs. We both started trying to think of where they would have come in. Neither of us have had any visitors from out of town over w/the exception of my mother, who doesn't have bed bugs and thankfully still doesn't even after her stay. I went away once but the friends I shared the hotel room with didn't have them, nor did the hotel as far as I know, since our bags were all in the same place during our stay how could I be the only one to bring them back? My roommate had gone away for a weekend but also to a friend's house, who doesn't have bed bugs. It wasn't until later in the week I realized the bites had started appearing very shortly after my roommate first moved in. He of course said no he didn't bring them or his last roommates would have called him or something. But he used to talk of how dirty they were and had people over all the time from different areas, some of them shady. I know bed bugs aren't only around dirty people, it can happen in the cleanest environment, but the way he spoke of them I could believe they'd be of the mindset that they wouldn't mind living with it. When the exterminators finally came however they confirmed that the infestation was mainly in his bedroom, the closet in particular was inundated w/them, and my bedroom was only the beginnings of an infestation, the spillover I suppose, since his had grown so large. Even as they stood there in front of my landlord, my roommate and myself and told us this news, he still denied it and blamed it on his brand new futon that came sealed and boxed from Ikea. Now okay sure I know there are stories of people getting them in store bought mattresses that aren't as new as advertised...but really? I just find it hard to believe in this case. I also still wonder how come he never once asked me about the bites. He HAD to have been getting them long long before I did, and only said he had them when I brought it up to him. If he truly believed they were from me and not him why would he not come say something immediately? Now for as far as the process getting ready for the spraying, I had double bagged up all my clothes, emptied my drawers, pulled all sheets, blankets, pillow cases, etc... off the bed, pulled the curtains down ...all of this in double bags. Vacuumed several times - the whole house (w/the exception of his room, thru all of this that's all I've ever asked him to take care of) Everything was washed and dried on the highest heat settings. My roommate did none of this, he carried his clothes out in open bins and walked it to the laundromat around the corner. Every three days since the first spraying - which was on September 2nd - I've vacuumed the entire house, pulling furniture away from walls and going under and around everything, into couch cushions, using the extension for base boardsBugs are still not gone, the exterminators are saying it has to be on our end, either we're bringing them in still or doing our own home remedy, which would void the warranty, coincidentally, and how do you prove you didn't? Also my roommate has just told me his retail job of 1 and a half months is transferring him...so he's gone by December 1st. We split the cost of the treatments so far, $500 each...but if it ends up we need a different exterminator I will be stuck paying more...is there any way I can legally have him held responsible for this w/the exterminators being able to confirm the major infestation was in his room and the first time the bites started appearing coinciding w/his moving in? more

Resolved Question: If you were me, would you be angry in this situation? Do I have a right to be PISSED!?

I'm FIRE angry! Earlier, I went to do my normal monthly grocery shopping. Unexpectedly, this religious hypocrite stalker neighbor of mine was moving out. I'm thinking, "YES! I'm THANKFUL she's leaving." She harassed & stalked me the entire 2 yrs. I've lived here. So, she was putting her furniture on the curb & advertised it for free for anyone to get. She knows & is aware of my OCD, anxiety, depression, & Tourette's disorders but doesn't care. She offered me her furniture since she knows all I have is a flat mattress from 2 yrs. ago from my futon that broke because of me being overweight (I lost a lot of weight since 2007). I accepted her free furniture offer out of fear of her embarrassing me in front of her friends about my mental disability, in which she ended up doing anyway. She asked me to help. So, I caught on to the fact that she made an *** out of me by giving me something "free" just for an excuse to enslave & embarrass me in front of her friends. Before I knew it, she was asking me to help her move this & move that. Take out the trash. When she said that, I was like, "No. My OCD." Then, she went off on me, saying I was using my disorder as an excuse. & she threw in my face about the furniture she gave me, while wearing the EXPENSIVE Nike shoes I gave her PLUS lots of music CD's, we both cooked for each other throughout the 2 yrs., & we had our ups & downs. I tried to have patience & take her s hit! & be nice. She used my disability against me & also the fact that I don't believe in Christianity. But she KEPT trying to stay on my @$$ all the time. She treats me like a child that's WAY below her, & we're not even 2 full yrs. apart. She was angry & used me to take her anger out on me. She broke her lease, which the landlord doesn't allow, & got mad because the woman who was supposed to take over didn't show up. Why me? She COMPLETELY humiliated me, & she kept telling me things to provoke me to outburst even more, & I wanted to leave, & she tried to say, "Little girls leave. Women stay." I felt obligated to stay there & help, while being treated like horse manure. So, she said my cursing was disturbing & that I was using my disorder as an excuse. @ 1st, her friends were understanding of my explanation of my disorders. & I had 2 strokes @ age 5. So, me & her got into a heated argument, & her friend switched gears on me & started taking her side & saying to me, "Yeah, she knows because she studied this. You are using your Tourette's as an excuse." So, I told her, "Don't listen to her. I have to suffer through this every day & live with this condition." She continued to agree with the neighbor & tried to play a psych game on me by saying, "You're invading my space & putting me in defense mode." I'm like, "Now, it's REALLY time to go! & I just have to be a little girl." & the religious stalker neighbor was like, "Yeah, I did this study on this guy, & he was jerking & cursing"... & whatever, whatever. & she said, "He cannot help it. You can help it. I've seen you for 2 yrs. Yes you can control it. You're using it as an excuse." I grew angrier & angrier. Now, HER furniture is in my apt., & I can't get it out. I don't want her s hit! I don't want to be reminded of her nor her friends! We have efficiency apts. So, her friend who said I put her in defense mode, was an idiot because the apartment is ALREADY enclosed! Duh! The apt. is structured where you have to take the hinges off the door to even put your BIKE in there! So tiny. I see a neurologist for my TS, & the stalker neighbor thinks GOD will take away my disability. I don't believe in him. I believe in a higher power by another name. I told my friends about it, & they're pissed & want to hurt those girls. I'm 26, my friends are 30, & the neighbor & her friends are like my age & 28. 1 of my friends said that if the neighbor was a TRUE believer of God, then she'd have patience with my disability & not treat me like she does. This isn't the entire story, but I can't think straight right now, & space is limited. more

Resolved Question: Buying something simple has become so difficult. Help me!?

I've been sleeping on the same crappy futon for over a decade now, and I am SO READY to buy a new bed. The mattress on this one, regardless of how many flips and turns I give it, feels as though I'm sleeping on a sack of cornmeal. Worse yet, it's developed a taco-like curvature, such that my fiancee and I find ourselves rolling together throughout the night, which - as romantic as it sounds - makes it impossible to spread out in the slightest. So I'm looking. And just like everything else in this world, it's more complicated than it ought to be. I just. Want. A. Bed. But all I can find are expensive headboards (e.g., no bed attached) or frames (e.g., no headboards) or sheet sets (e.g., no actual bed). I'm also not certain what a "platform" is, although they're selling a bunch of those, as well. Is it the same as a "box-spring?" Isn't there anywhere I can go and just buy a damned bed? You know: the whole thing. Legs. Frame. Headboard. Footboard. And if it's even possible or not too much to ask, a "box spring" or "platform" and a mattress? I suppose I wouldn't be too averse to buying the mattress separate from the bed if it must be so. But really. Why is this such a pain? Help me! I want a good night's sleep!! Thanks, Kal =) more

Voting Question: help with decorating my room.?

okay so ignore my past questions that say i'm an interior designer or whatever, i'm not, it was my sister on my account (: anyway, everyone in my house is currently switching bedrooms, so i am painting mine white because i leave for college in less than a year & my mom wanted it a plain color so she can do whatever with it after i leave. so i'm trying to spice it up with as much decor as i can. things i need/want: -beaded curtains -string lights -futon cover -floor lamp the color theme of my room is lime green, turquoise & purple. i'm not anal about things HAVING to match, but i don't want like obnoxiously bright pink & yellow things just randomly sticking around. 10 points to the person who can find me the cheapest/most affordable things on my list (: here is a picture of my bedspread: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10877960 this is my loft bed that i have (not exactly the same, but you get the idea): http://www.furniturehomedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/storage-loft-bed.jpg ^the only difference with my bed from that one is that it is higher off the ground & it is open underneath the bed & on one side of the mattress! more

Resolved Question: Can i turn my futon into a real bed?

well i bought a futon from walmart a year ago and its reallly uncomfy and it like squeaks whenever i get on it.the matress it came with isnt that thick so i can sorta feel the bars sticking threw the matress and its not comfortable at all. so i was thinkin can i just buy a thicker mattress and like a bed skirt so that it looks and feels like a real bed? more

Resolved Question: How can I wash my futon mattress cover?

Our futon mattress has a cover which we would like to machine wash. It has a zip, we unzipped it from the inside filling (a type of fibre, messy insulation) but found that where there are hard buttons on the cover, it is attached to the insulation. Removing the buttons seems the only way, but it is nigh on impossible to get the buttons back on afterwards, as they are attached to string which seems to sink deep into the insulation on removal. Is there an easier way? more

Resolved Question: Help me find this futon!?

I am thinking of buying a bunk bed from Amazon.com that has a desk and futon built in. But the futon is more like a chair that a couch. When i read the reviews i found that people said the matress and cover were very difficult to find (the ecaxt measurements for the mattress are 33"W 78"L). If anybody knows a store where i can find this or finds it on a website, which is most preferable for me, or even if you own the same unit, i'll post the link, please help me!http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009OE8U0/ref=s9_simz_gw_s0_p79_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=01W0EW1KYDB4BBH8NEGJ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 more

Voting Question: How to get rid of bad stench from futon mattress?

My friend let me have his futon couch that his brother left behind when he moved into a new house. When I was analyzing it at his house there seemed to be nothing wrong with it until I finally got it to my house. The whole thing smelled like dog and other nasty things. Obviously when I removed the cover there were 3 dog piss stains (his dog has anxiety issues and pees when you approach her). I would like to clean the mattress of its dog piss stains but more importantly remove the stench. I am planning to grab a scrubber and mix water & bleach to take the piss stains out. How do you get rid of the bad smell? Please no stupid answer like just spray fabreeze, I already tried that and it just comes back. more

Resolved Question: What is a cheap way to have a guest bed?

We have family come over from time to time and we don't have a guest room in our house, because we have 3 bedrooms, and 2 daughters who have separate rooms right now (they are little ages 1 an 3 so until they are old enough for bunk beds, they have their own room). Anyway, I'm looking for an inexpensive idea on what we could use as a guest bed. Should we just get an air up mattress or futon? Any ideas? Thanks more

Resolved Question: Removing smoke odor from furniture?

My husband and I live in an apartment directly above a smoker, in a building without much between units, so for the most part, everything we own now smells like smoke. We are going to be moving to a much nicer apartment in just a few weeks, and I would really like to get all the smoke smells out of all our furniture so that it doesn't stink up our shiny new apartment. What is the best way to get all the smell out of our mattress, futon, chairs, and other things? I've heard that the best thing to do is let them sit outside in some fresh air, but we won't have a place to do that. Any other ideas? (Something that will get rid of the odor completely, not just cover it up, like febreeze or the like) Thanks!I'm not trying to get it out of the apartment itself, just out of the furniture and mattress. more

Resolved Question: Bedbugs! How to get rid of them?

My boyfriend and I have been doing a lot of traveling, and we think we brought home bedbugs from one of our trips. Where we live, we know it is common to have bedbugs, but we need some help to stop them! We have done A LOT of research, and have been living with the bedbug problem for nearly 2 weeks! I have been getting eaten alive, and my boyfriend suffers minorly (we know that males tend to not show a reaction quite as bad as females do). This is a serious problem! We have invested in a "dust mite" mattress cover, and have purchased covers for the pillows. We will be getting one for the futon soon. We had the exterminator in the house the other day, and he lazily sprayed around and checked the bed area(s) and said that it was unlikely for them to travel through the carpets. We know they are laying eggs, at least one batch has probably already hatched. We have sprayed the rooms with "Pronto: bedbug and dust mite" spray several times... no luck. What should we do! If we move, we will take the bugs to the new place! should we bag up all the clothing, and wash them? Vacuum the house? I am desperate! We have been losing sleep to this infestation! more

Resolved Question: is there a web site for this?

i know, i'm cheap. i was wondering if there was a website where i could find mattresses and/or beds with minor defects that would be less expensive than buying one from the store. i don't know about the rest of you, but i don't see the point of spending $2000 on a bed when i live in a trailer house that didn't even cost that much lol. i'm just tired of sleeping on a futon... any suggestions? more

Resolved Question: Urine soaked futon mattress!! OMG! Help!?

My sister had tripletts, they are around 11 months of age now. She came for a visit and I got out our new "company" futon for sleeping. We pushed it against walls and added rails to keep the sweeties safe. This futon was purchased new about 3 months ago - warranty just expired. Blah! I think in all the rush and excitement to get unpacked and visit, our elderly aunt put the girls to bed in just PJs with no diapers. We just assumed they would be ok with her as she is very intelligent and independent. Guess senior moments can hit even the best of intentions! :-) The next day when the babies got up it was pretty late, nearly 9 a.m. as they were tired from the long traveling day before. They had totally soaked the mattress. The pediatrician says it is not uncommon for little ones around that age to urinate 4 or 5+ times a night. They still have a diet full of liquids at that age. We scrubbed the spot with towels and followed with Folex, but it had soaked nearly all the way through. You may know that futon mattresses are very thick - the good ones about 6" thick - but are stuffed with cotton. And cotton is very absorbant. There is a big brownish ring (the mattress is a dark green) where the urine has dried so far that won't budge even with gentle shampoo and lots of rinsing. The mattress smells to high heaven. Is there any way to clean it thoroughly and is there something akin to Scotchguard that can be sprayed on it (assuming we can really get it cleaned) to prevent it from being so bad in the future? IF the little ones sleep on it with no undies again? :-) I laugh because the babies are precious. But I cry because we had to save up for a while for that particular futon. We wanted something nice and comfy for guests. I'll best some of you can give me the answers I am looking for to 1) How to deep clean the mattress. Esp. with home products. And 2) How to protect the mattress for future baby dates. Thanks so much!I think the question was not read all the way through. There was no question about potty training babies. And our elderly great aunt did the honors of changing the girls for bed. (Please read that part again as it explains that). It was an impromptu visit and we are miles away from any large stores. We used an old quillt, assuming it would be enough with the addition of diapers and jammies. Of course, we had diapers on hand. Please thoroughly read the question before you give an unnecessary and not thought out at all response.That comment goes directly to Drip. But can be a plea to all as well. Where ever I go, I am constantly seeing answers to other people by persons who obviously not read the question. Ridiculous. Please do not bother to comment if you are not going to read the question. It is a waste of everyone's time. Thank you! more

Resolved Question: Warning signs he is cheating?

We've been living together a year. Suddenly he has picked up shifts at work and at another job (which I haven't seen a paycheck from) and now he's working 7 days a week. Never home. Suddenly no sex. Suddenly taken an interest in bicycling to and from work when I used to take him in his car and then use his car for that day if I didn't have work that day. Started drinking every single night to the point of black-out as soon as he gets home and half way there before he comes home. Says he drank a little at work. When I try to be affectionate he seems annoyed. Makes so many excuses for his strange behavior that don't make any sense. Last night he drug the futon mattress to the basement and slept there after I fell asleep in bed. It was our anniversary last night too. And he gave me some stupid promotional object that he got for free. You would think it would mean more to him that it was our anniversary. What would you think/do? I mean, I think even a stranger deserves to be treated better than that. more

Resolved Question: Need a low and reclining bed, do they exist?

Hi, I recently chucked out my old futon (which was great) and bought a new, bigger one from a different company. Already the wood has warped, the mattress is misshapen and I'm back at the chiropractors every week. In my room I have a sloped wall, so a standard bed height will not fit. Are there any other types of bed that are quite low to the ground, and have a recline function? Any websites you can show me? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Replacing a futon frame but keeping the old futon mattress, what size frame do I need?

Hey guys, We had the Martha Stewart futon set and the frame went out on us. We don't want the same futon frame. We want to purchase a new one. The only info I can get from the website (including the mattress) is 83" W, 36"Dx 34"H and 54"D in sleeping position. There is no seperate info for the mattress, so I'm not sure if we should go with a "full" frame. Thanks in advance! :) more

Resolved Question: Uneven Box Set causing achy back?

Currently, we have an Ethan Allen Bed frame (king-size), box set from Select Comfort (~9 inch) and a 9-10 thick (fairly new) futon mattress. The sleep number and other fancy mattresses didn't work for us. I was waking up with my severe back-aches and not getting good sleep. In past, flipping the mattress, helps even out the mattress. However, it didn't help us this time. On close inspection, I realized the box set had become lumpy and uneven. In my mind, it was the box set that was causing problems and not the mattress. What are the best solutions to fix this problem? I can think of following - 1. Replace the old box set with a new one 2. Use super pallets (as opposed to Box Set). 3. Use plywood planks between the mattress and the box set. Can somebody advice me on the long-term solution? Note, Futon Mattress works best for us and we replace it almost every year with a new one. So don't suggest changing the mattress. Thanks more

Resolved Question: will a futon work for two? for only 6 months?

HI I've been looking for options to use as a bedding. I'm on a very tight budget and i was looking to but a futon in big lots for 199 plus a 20% discount the problem is that is the display futon and is been out there for 6 months the guy in best buy told me it wouldn't last for two people but when i sat down on it, it felt very solid. he told me that it wouldnt last after he found out that it was 160 and he said for me to wait till he put it on clearance so if it breaks they can give me a new one which would mean that i would pay 199 not 160 and i would have to sleep on the floor for maybe two days should i believe him or just go ahead and buy that one at 160 since its cheaper for me and my boyfriend. do keep in mind that is for daily use of six months? oh yeah and mattresses are too expensive for me....... or should i just buy a cheap one from walmart? plz help me ive heard sooo many bad reviews from people that bought futons in walmart or other places and it seems like if u dont put it together right it breaks...
