Natural Cotton and Wool Japanese-Style Firm Futon Mattress

The Natural Cotton & Wool Japanese-Style Mattress is designed for those seeking a firm, grounded sleep surface free from synthetic foams and chemicals. Handcrafted in the USA, this mattress relies on the simple, time-tested combination of untreated "green" cotton and natural New Zealand virgin lambswool. This blend provides a healthy, breathable environment that naturally regulates temperature and humidity. The wool layer acts as a chemical-free fire retardant, while the dense cotton core offers substantial, long-lasting support.

Each mattress is carefully built layer by layer and tufted by hand, a traditional technique that prevents lumping and ensures exceptional longevity. It features pre-compressed cotton batting which will firm up over time, settling into a resilient surface that aligns the spine. The true-to-size design guarantees a precise fit for futon frames, platform beds, slatted bases, and tatami mats.

All-Natural Virgin Cotton Layers

The core of the mattress consists entirely of All-Natural Virgin Cotton, also known as "Green Cotton." Grown in the United States, this material is harvested and ginned without the use of bleach, dyes, perfumes, or harsh chemical cleansers. It retains small natural remnants of the cotton plant, a testament to its minimally processed state. These thick, dense layers provide the firm, stable foundation that traditional futon sleepers prefer.

• US-Grown Purity: Cultivated domestically to support local agriculture and minimize carbon footprint.
• Chemical-Free Processing: Entirely free from perfumes, dyes, and synthetic finishing agents for a safer sleep surface.
• Firm Support: The dense cotton batting packs down over time to create a solid, supportive cradle for the body.
• Natural Breathability: The raw fibers allow for excellent air circulation, keeping the mattress fresh and dry.
• Hypoallergenic Nature: A suitable choice for sensitive sleepers, as it avoids the irritants found in chemically treated textiles.

All-Natural Virgin Wool Layers

Encasing the cotton core is a 1.5" layer of All-Natural Virgin Wool, sourced from free-range sheep in New Zealand. This wool is cleaned using gentle, NPEO-free detergents, ensuring it remains free from chemical residues while retaining its natural lanolin. This outer layer serves as a functional barrier, protecting the inner cotton while providing natural climate control and fire protection.

• Temperature Regulation: Naturally adapts to your body heat, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.
• Inherent Safety: Acts as a natural flame retardant, meeting federal safety standards without adding toxic chemicals.
• Moisture Management: Wicks away humidity from the body to prevent dampness and promote deeper sleep.
• Ethical Sourcing: Obtained from growers who adhere to high standards of animal welfare and sustainable farming.
• Resilient Texture: The crimped wool fibers resist compression, adding a layer of loft that protects the firmer materials underneath.

Recommended thickness options:

• 5" and 6" mattresses – Best for bi-fold futon frames, allowing for easy folding and use as a sofa.
• 7" and 8" mattresses – Best for platform beds, providing optimal comfort and support for sleeping.
