TODAY’S FUTON is more comfortable because futon mattresses are manufactured in more hi-tech facilities and with a new focus on ergonomics. Incorporating new flexible innerspring designs, and by using the latest synthetic and natural latex and temperature sensitive (visco elastic) foams the Futons of today are made for comfort and have increased dramatically their viability as a stand alone primary sleep surface in the bedroom. Futon naturalists can rest assured that even the “original” cotton futon has evolved, but remains to be a great option for those with allergies. Futons, even more now than ever, compete “comfortably” in the specialty sleep and sofa bed worlds.
