Hand crafted all cotton futons provide comfort at a very affordable price. Our all cotton futons are approximately 5″ thick and will compress over time getting firmer. Our futons are tufted to ensure all materials are kept in place. Suggested uses: This makes a great cushion for a futon couch frame, occasional guest bed or a bed mattress for a toddler aged individual. Most adults will find this mattress too soft a surface at first or too firm after the cotton compacts. In order to pass flammability tests per Federal Regulations, the cotton we use is treated with a small amount of borax. We can manufacture a mattress without borax, however, that would require a Doctor’s note. Message us for more information.
