Gripper Strips

Gripper Strips are Essential

To keep your futon mattress from slipping, all you need are futon gripper strips. Each order of gripper strips includes a pair of specialty foam strips that are designed to hold your mattress in place while being gentle on your futon cover. If you want your futon to look nice, especially if you have a thick futon mattress, gripper strips are a must. No matter what kind of mattress you purchase, the first few months of futon ownership can be frustrating, as your mattress will resist curving into a sofa shape. This leads to flopping, slouching, and sliding futon mattresses, which is inconvenient and embarrassing. One order of Gripper strips put a stop to that right away.

What are Gripper Strips?

Gripper strips are a non-skid material specially designed to create the maximum holding power for you futon mattress. It does this with a thin layer of foam that yields to your mattresses shape to create a huge contact patch that grips your futon in place. Gripper strips adhere to your frame with a super-sticky adhesive backing that is revealed by peeling off a strip of white contact paper. Once permanently adhered to your futon frame, your futon mattress will have no choice but to behave.

Why Other Futon Grippers Fail

There are a lot of gripper products on the market to keep your futon from slipping. However, none have the holding power of Gripper Strips because they tend to roll underneath the mattress when you convert you futon. Futons slip after a while on regular non-slip material because the material gripping ability only lasts for a short time.

How To Use Your Gripper Strips

Gripper Strips are easy to use. Simply remove the futon mattress, apply a Gripper Strip to the top of the back deck and front edge of the seat deck. Peel away the white contact paper to reveal the adhesive backing underneath. You want to get them as close to the edges as possible, without letting them show to be most effective, this usually involves trimming on full size futon frames. Next put your mattress back on your futon frame and let the Gripper Strips do the rest. Sound pretty easy right? It is easy and effective too!
