Natural Cotton, Wool and Foam Japanese-Style Medium-Firm Futon Mattress

The Old-Fashioned Hand-Made Mattress Collection captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship, using time-honored techniques to create firm, supportive mattresses that stand the test of time. Each layer is skillfully hand-laid and compressed, resulting in a durable design with natural variations in size and weight that highlight their artisanal nature. Made from natural materials like cotton and wool, these mattresses provide superior breathability, long-lasting comfort, and a healthier sleep environment.

Inspired by the simplicity and functionality of traditional Japanese futons, these mattresses are crafted to support proper spinal alignment and encourage restful sleep. The 5" futon features a sleek, rounded-edge design without side handles, ideal for platform beds or floor setups. By contrast, the 6–8" mattresses have boxy edges and convenient side handles for easier movement. Both styles offer the same hand-made quality and versatile use.

This mattress combines traditional materials with the added comfort of a foam layer, providing a balanced, supportive sleep surface. Handcrafted in the USA, it offers a chemical-free, eco-friendly sleep environment while incorporating a foam layer for improved pressure relief. Made with untreated green cotton, natural wool, and eco-conscious foam, it’s a great choice for people who prefer a more supportive yet still natural alternative to conventional mattresses.

The Natural Cotton, Wool & Foam Old-Fashioned Mattress is built around a core of minimally processed, untreated green cotton, which provides a firm, durable foundation. A layer of natural wool (New Zealand virgin lambswool) is added for temperature regulation and as a natural flame barrier. What sets this model apart is the addition of an eco-friendly foam layer that introduces extra cushioning and pressure relief while keeping the overall feel supportive. All layers are wrapped in a breathable cotton twill cover for durability and airflow.

This mattress provides a firm, supportive sleeping surface with just enough cushioning from the foam layer. The natural cotton and wool help maintain proper spinal alignment, while the foam relieves pressure points so you can stay comfortable throughout the night. It’s suitable for back, stomach, and many side sleepers who want natural materials but don’t want a mattress that is too hard.

Yes. The wool layer naturally wicks away moisture and helps regulate body temperature, keeping you cooler in warm weather and warmer in cooler seasons. The cotton core adds breathability, allowing air to circulate through the mattress. Even the foam used is chosen for its eco-conscious and breathable qualities, helping to prevent excess heat buildup.

This mattress is made with health and sustainability in mind. It contains no synthetic fire retardants, glues, or harsh chemicals. The untreated green cotton and natural wool are free from bleaches and dyes, and the foam layer is made from eco-conscious materials. If you are looking for a non-toxic, low-VOC, eco-friendly sleep surface, this mattress aligns well with those values.

It is available in standard sizes from Twin to King and can be made in different thicknesses to match your preferred comfort level or bed setup. Whether you need a slimmer profile for a futon-style arrangement or a thicker mattress for everyday bed use, there is a configuration to fit your needs.

This mattress is highly versatile and can be used on multiple bases, including platform beds, slatted frames, futons, and tatami mats. Its construction makes it suitable for both traditional and modern setups, as well as low-profile, minimalist interiors.

To extend the life of your mattress, rotate or flip it regularly to distribute wear evenly. Spot clean the cotton cover with a mild solution when needed. Because it is made from natural fibers, occasional airing out will help release any absorbed moisture and keep the mattress fresh. With proper care, this hand-made mattress is built to deliver long-term comfort and support.
