What is a futon?

A futon is a mattress, used in the Far East mainly Japan and China for the past 4000 years. We sell similar futon bed-rolls today, and have a surpassing number of customers who use them as their permanent bed system rolled out on the floor. Though some swear by them, most of us would find them a little Spartan.
The majority of futons we sell today are much thicker and can therefore be on various types of bases. The thickness of the mattress is determined by the number of 'layers' it has in it. These layers usually comprise of cotton and wool-felt and are covered in a tough cotton case. We offer a variety of futon mattresses to suit different requirements from occasional to everyday use. Futons that fold away to become chairs or sofas, and futons for slatted, or sprung slatted beds, as well as futons to use on their own on the floor.
