Futon Mattresses

Futon Mattress - does not include the slat baseOur futon mattresses are constructed from layers of cotton and wool, both natural insulating fibres. On a slat bed base this creates a sleeping environment that ‘breathes’ and insulates - warm in winter & cool in summer.

All our futons are cased in unbleached cotton canvas. We recommend using a removable, machine-washable futon protector with your bed futon; and either a futon protector or futon cover with your futon sofa bed / bed settee.

We do not recommend using a futon mattresson a flexible-slat base. Our Natural Latex Mattresses are compatible with both solid and flexible-slat bases. All our latex mattresses are encased in a wool-quilted cotton cover.

Futon Mattress Care

FUTONZ futons are constructed from layers of the best quality new natural fibres - cotton, wool and latex rubber. They are hand-tufted in 100% cotton casing, DO NOT REMOVE THIS CASING, we recommend using our zip-off machine washable futon protector.

Both wool and cotton are natural insulators which offer the qualities of warmth in winter and coolness in warmer weather; and of 'breathing' - allowing air to flow through the fibres and hence both body and atmospheric moisture to disperse.

Following these simple instructions will ensure your futon retains its quality and comfort.

Maintaining The Loft

When using your futon as a bed, turn the futon from head to tail and over (so that the side that was against the slats faces up.) Allow the futon to drop vigorously onto the slats when you turn it. We recommend doing this about once a week, when you change your bedding.

If you use your futon as a settee, turn it regularly to ensure that not always the same area is used as the seat.

Occasionally, in suitable weather, you can drape your futon where it is exposed to the fresh air and sunlight for several hours. Caution: do not risk it being rained on!

Insulating Qualities

To ensure that the natural fibres function effectively as described above your futon requires a free circulation of air around it. This means that your futon should only be used on a suitable slat base* and in an environment that is not unduly damp.

*The Traditional futon is designed to be used in traditional Japanese fashion - directly on the floor and rolled up daily.
