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 surprising 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 put 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.
