Essential Futon Mattress

We use raw cotton batting, and some people will initially notice an earthly smell that goes away withing a few weeks.

A futon mattress is built to fold with a futon frame, which means it needs a firm, dense construction that holds up to repeated use in two positions. Sleep Majestic futon mattresses are made from alternating layers of raw cotton batting and high-density foam, wrapped in wool for natural fire
protection. Unlike a standard latex or spring mattress, they work on futon frames, bunk beds, and platform bases. They are built firm by design, which suits back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and everyday adult use.

The Essential is the most affordable option in the range, built from cotton batting and high-density foam in a firm profile suited to guest beds and bunk beds. The Standard uses the same construction but is thicker and is the firmest futon we make, suited to everyday adult use. The Eurotop is the softest of the three, with a 2” GOLS-certified Dunlop latex comfort layer sewn into the top above the cotton and foam base. The latex gives you surface pressure relief that the cotton-only futons do not have, making it the best option for side and back sleepers using a futon as a primary mattress.

Yes. The Standard and Eurotop futon mattresses are both suited to everyday adult use. The Eurotop is the better option for side and back sleepers who want surface comfort, as the latex comfort layer
provides pressure relief the cotton-only versions do not. Cotton futon mattresses compress over time with regular use, which is normal. Rolling and flipping the mattress regularly helps maintain even wear and loft. The Essential is better suited to guest bed or occasional use

Futons require a slatted, breathable surface. This is most often found with futon frames, bunk beds, and platform bed frames. They are not compatible with solid foundations. They will eventuality mold on a solid surface. All three futon options are designed to fold with a futon frame.
