Futons

Our futons are constructed from layers of cotton and wool, both natural insulating fibres. On a slat 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 settee futon. Click here for information on caring for your futon or mattress.

3-layer cotton traditional sleeping mat, use directly on the floor or on a sleeping platform and roll up daily. Not for use on a slat base. Firm.

Choose from medium or firm.

Latex Core Futon
Loft: 125mm

Wool and cotton around a 50mm core of latex rubber for added support and resilience. An excellent, supportive, moderately firm bed futon; ideal on Belgian & Studio settees; compatible with Devon & Siesta, but a little heavier than the Deluxe. Compatible with all bed base designs.

Firm & resilient.

Latex Wool Futon
Loft: 150mm

Same construction as latex core futon but with added layers of wool make this a full, soft futon, with cushioned resilience and good density. A soft and supportive bed futon; works well with Studio settee; too thick for Devon, Siesta, or Belgian; compatible with all bed base designs.

Soft & resilient

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

Futon 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.
