CUSTOM SIZES AVAILABLE!!!
This cotton futon is 100% hand made to order in the USA in our New Bedford, MA factory. We have been making and using this design since 1995. Custom sizes available! Our futons are handmade with 90% Cotton with the minimum amount of spun polyester wrapping to meet mandatory Federal Flammability requirements. The cotton is selected by us to be very clean and odor-free. We do not use any boric acid powder or flame retardant chemicals in our futons (as other cheaper futons do). The futon shell is made from 100% unbleached cotton.
Our futons are completely hand made in the traditional Japanese style. It takes 2 craftsmen at least 4 hours to complete each futon. They are hand tufted as in Japan and feature ties and tufts on the futon and the corners. Our futon can be used as a mattress topper, directly on the floor (like a Japanese futon) or placed upon a futon frame (we suggest a tatami mat or 1/8 sheet of plywood placed underneath for even weight distribution and comfort-available from any big box store). It is the perfect futon for college or back-to-school. It will make those college institutional mattresses so much more comfortable. A worthy investment as good sleep will contribute to mental stability (don't get a good nights sleep and see how you feel).
We revived this futon line from ancient Japanese techniques and brought it to our Etsy store in hope that we could show the benefits of the way sleep used to be before companies started marketing Memory Foam and complicated sleep systems. Our goal is to show that all natural cotton inside a futon can in fact give you the best sleep ever (something the Japanese have known for over 400 years).
This futon is approximately 4-6 inches thick and will vary slightly based on the density of the cotton (natural variations found in cotton). We fill it for loft and feel and also take into consideration the specific characteristics of the current cotton used and how much it will settle over time (each shipment will vary slightly and is tested extensively for the exact characteristics we control for). It is designed to become an heirloom and last for many years. This is not a casual "temporary futon" designed to be used for short periods and thrown away.
Ground Shipping will be FREE (AK & HI will have a shipping surcharge) for this item and fully insured for loss/damage.
Feel free to contact us with any questions. We take pride in what we do and know you will love your new hand-made futon. Thank you.
