Futons Offer Natural Mattresses and Platform Beds for Sleeping Comfort

Futon Mattresses Keep It Natural

You would be shocked to know what you've been sleeping with. Most mattresses today are filled with synthetics: shoddy pads, non-woven materials, formaldehyde glues – who needs to sleep with that stuff every night. Designed specifically for everyday sleeping on a platform bed, today's advanced futon mattresses use a combination of high-density CFC-free foam, quality innerspring units and hypo-allergenic dacron. All of our futon beds are lace tufted so no dangerous glues are necessary.

Futons Provide Healthy Sleep for Your Back

For healthy sleep the spine has to be supported in it's natural position. A mattress that's too soft doesn't provide adequate support and you wake up with backaches. If it's too firm, you toss and turn because your circulation is being restricted. Many chiropractors today recommend that their patients sleep on a futon to provide the ideal combination of support and resiliency.

Forget the Boxspring

Despite what the mattress manufacturers have led us to believe, you do not need a bulky and expensive boxspring underneath your mattress. In fact in Europe boxsprings are rarely used. The sturdy hardwood slats of a futon platform bed make it unnecessary to have a boxspring. The bed looks better, it's easier to clean underneath, provides storage space, is easier to move and allows air to circulate beneath the mattress. And platform beds are made of natural hardwood, containing none of the synthetic glues and materials that boxsprings contain.
