Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Organic Cotton & Wool Mattress?
The Organic Cotton & Wool Mattress is a thoughtfully crafted shikibuton-style mattress designed to provide a comfortable and natural sleeping experience. Made with high-quality organic materials, this mattress is available in a variety of thicknesses to suit different preferences and setups, whether used on a traditional futon frame, platform bed, or directly on the floor.
What natural materials are used?
- Organic Cotton Core: At the heart of this mattress lies a dense layer of certified organic cotton batting, offering firm support and excellent breathability. This organic cotton is grown without synthetic chemicals or pesticides, ensuring a safe and eco-friendly sleep environment.
- Wool Wrap: Surrounding the cotton core is a plush layer of all-natural virgin wool, known for its exceptional temperature-regulating properties. Wool naturally wicks away moisture, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter, and acts as a natural flame retardant without harmful chemicals.
Can I choose the thickness?
Yes. Whether you prefer a thinner mattress for portability or a thicker one for added plushness, this mattress comes in multiple thicknesses to meet your needs. Select the right option for comfort and compatibility with your chosen sleeping surface.
Is it eco-friendly and chemical-free?
This mattress is handcrafted with materials that prioritize sustainability and health. Free from synthetic foams, dyes, and harsh fire retardants, it supports an eco-conscious lifestyle while minimizing allergens, making it ideal for sensitive individuals.
Where and how can I use this mattress?
The Organic Cotton & Wool Mattress is designed with versatility in mind. Its compact, foldable design makes it easy to store and transport, and it is perfect for minimalist living spaces, guest accommodations, or as a primary sleeping solution.
Why does my mattress have marks or stress around the tuft points?
Slight pulling, compression, or minor fraying around each tuft hole is normal. The tufting needle passes through the full thickness of the mattress, and the mark it leaves is structural, not cosmetic damage. These points will not tear or worsen with normal use. If you see large open tears, broken seam stitching, or filling coming through the fabric, that's worth contacting us about.
What does the mattress casing fabric feel like?
The casing is a heavy, durable-textured fabric — dense, tightly woven, and durable. It will feel noticeably firmer and coarser than the soft quilted surface of a conventional mattress. This is intentional. The fabric softens gradually with use and is chosen for longevity, not initial softness. Most owners put a fitted sheet or futon cover over it, so the texture isn't something you feel while sleeping.
How do I care for it?
To maintain the longevity of your mattress, it is recommended to air it out periodically and rotate it regularly to prevent uneven wear. Spot cleaning with a mild solution is sufficient for addressing spills or stains.
Do I need to rotate or flip this mattress?
Yes, and this is a requirement during break-in, not an optional care tip. Rotate head-to-foot every one to two weeks and flip every two to three weeks for the first 90 days. Skipping this during break-in is the most common cause of uneven compression. After the first 90 days, monthly rotation is sufficient.
