My futon is where I crash when I have a hangover and my bed is too warm. I love it.
But, sadly, it hurts my back with daily use.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Our futon -- because of back and sholder problems needed to be replaced. This time we replaced it with a mattress named Ethan. How could we resist? Our futon never had a name

And who's fault is that?

I have a futon and a queen-sized mattress. I'm practicing up for my princess and the pea impression.
See, most of us with experience realize just how hard it is to stay in the moment when you're there and the movement catches your eyes.
There is a certain "whoah! Did you do that?" element. I have seen the balls thing mentioned, though.

It's a remora, dimwit.
When someone says "replaced the futon", to me it moreso implies that something unpleasant happened to the previous futon, like someone with some unfortunate condition, perhaps Ray's, couldn't make it to the bathroom in time.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have no futon. Like a good penniless young thing, however, I do have a futon frame. It is what I have instead of a box spring. I do not love it enough to give it a name. To me, sleeping on a futon it roughly equivalent to sleeping on a carpeted floor, so why not spare the expense and sleep on the floor? (Note: I sleep reasonably comfortably on the floor.)
Madrigal, thanks to your post I am fixated on my friend Snacky's amazing ability to turn ordinary phrases into porn. "Don't come in, mom! I'm -- replacing the futon!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Y'all have the wrong futons, I swear. I've never owned a normal mattress, because I haven't found one that's more comfortable than my futon mattresses. My chronically unable to sleep father was very surprised when he came to stay. Pleasantly so.
I don't use folding futon frames anymore, though, because I never fold them. I use platforms instead.

This amuses the heck out of me. I'm now all askeerd of the wrong futons. (and this also sort of recalls Wallace and Grommet's the Wrong Trousers)
