Unlike the alternatives currently available (foam, metal, water, plastic, etc.) the Futon actually breathes letting the body moisture disperse for natural cootness in summer and warm insulation in winter. Since firm support is necessary for good muscle tone, the Futon is alone in its unique ability of supporting the spine and holding elements of the back while not sagging and engaging the body in a tense position. Where most mattresses become softer with use the Futon becomes firmer and hence will last indefinitely Crafted by hand on the premises, our mattress consists of layers of cotton batting, encased in a heavy cotton muslin shell, tufted with cotton twine. The Futon offers not only comfortâ€" and economy but versatility as well. Customarily a mattress (all sizes available) the futon may be folded into a perfect space saver couch or used as a convenient guest bed, stormg and transporting easily for those on the move Almost any firm surface is a suitable base for a Futon Traditionally placed on the floor, they are equally at home on a box spring or platform bed which are gaining deserved popularity. At present, we have three such beds to choose from, our black japanese, traditional maple and sectional. All beds are made from choice hardwoods by a local artisan To complement our natural line we have a selection of pillows, boisters and floor cushions filled on the premises with kapok, a soft fluffy resilient fibre from the "ceiba" or cotton tree For those who desire the ultimate in natural sleep we also carry a complete line of white goose down duvets at easify affordable prices READ THIS!
