Finally a Comfortable Futon Mattress

The Advancement Of The Futon Mattress

Choosing a futon mattress used to be easy; there were three thicknesses, thin, medium and thick. The thicker the mattress the more expensive it was. However, these mattresses should really have been called ‘very uncomfortable’, ‘not quite so uncomfortable’ and ‘vaguely comfortable’. I don’t think this is an unfair assessment. The majority of the mattresses quickly compacted and made sleeping on pebbles seem like a preferable option.

Luckily futon mattresses have moved on. You can now get just about any type of mattress you want to fit your futon. But how do you know which is best?

There are several things you need to consider before you buy. Firstly it is important to determine the level of usage your futon is going to get and whether it will usually be used as a sofa or bed. If you want something which you are going to be sleeping on every night, then you need something which is primarily a bed, but can be folded out of the way when necessary. However, if you are only going to use the futon occasionally then you are looking for a mattress whose primary function is as cushions for a sofa.

If you like traditional mattress, then don’t panic you can now get these for futons. They are sprung, like the normal mattresses, and offers almost exactly the same support. If however you would like the futon style mattress, but want to find one which lasts longer then you can also do this now. Traditionally futon mattresses were made form natural fibers such as cotton and wool – in my opinion these are still the best. I do, however, have one important point to make.

I am a big believer in organic cotton coverings for mattresses. I believe that this should be a requirement for all mattresses, but until the regulators agree with me, we will all just have to make our decisions on the information which is available to us. There was recently a lot of controversy over the flame retardants used on some of the mattresses on the market; these were, in varying degrees, toxic. So I try to always go for organic cottons; it doesn’t guarantee that nothing has contaminated it since or during manufacturing, but I feel that I am giving myself a fighting chance.

Here is my favourite!

NUTRITIONAL INSTITUTETM Organic Futons have nothing in common with the typical futons made by other manufacturers. That’s because our futons are ultra-comfortable (NOT uncomfortable like most futons) and they’re completely natural and chemical-free . The secret that makes our futons so comfortable lies in the two-inch natural rubber core, which is surrounded by multiple layers of 100 percent organic carded-cotton batting. It has an organic cotton cover that is quilted with wool, which lends flame-retardant and dust-mite-repellent properties, not to mention luxurious comfort. Use it as a sofa, a mattress or both!
