Organic Cotton & Foam Futon

Supportive and responsive, you’ll fall in love with the cloud-like luxury of our Organic Cotton and Foam Futon. Softer than the 100% cotton futons we sell, this futon is perfect for those who prefer to sink into their beds — without the harsh chemicals found in memory foam.

Made with 100% USDA and GOTS-Certified organic cotton and Evergreen Foam, our organic futons are free from flame-retardants, dyes, perfumes, and chemical processes. From babies to bad backs, everybody loves the simplicity of this classic design.

From Cot to California King — and in custom sizes, too — these organic futons offer a natural and hypoallergenic alternative in almost every size.

GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton

Where cotton goes to get its degree, GOTS-certified organic cotton is held to the highest standards for health and sustainability. Our organic futons are made of endless fluffy layers of 100% pesticide-free organic cotton raised sustainably, from our farms to your bed.

• Pesticide and insecticide free

• 100% natural and biodegradable

• Safe for sensitive skin

• Firm, yet soft

• Consumes 91% less water to grow than regular cotton

• Protects farmers from pesticide exposure

Evergreen Foam

Most foams are made of petroleum-based products that produce toxic off-gassing and create a lot of environmental pollution.

Our signature Evergreen Foam is made from vegetable, soy, and castor oils, making it more sustainable and completely non-toxic. Evergreen Foam is:

• Flame retardant free

• Paraben-free

• Formaldehyde-free

Sleeping on Our Organic Cotton Futon

The Organic Cotton and Foam Futon is one without springs, and as such won’t transfer motion between sleepers. We recommend putting it on a box spring set or platform bed, or on a bi-fold or tri-fold futon frame and even using it as a floor bed. A slatted bed frame is recommended for air circulation and the slats should be at least 2.5" wide and no more than 2" apart from each other. When the slats are more than 2" apart, that may affect the longevity and comfort of your futon. Soft and decadently plush, our Organic Cotton and Foam futon is unlike any you’ve ever slept on – and is the all natural sustainable futon of your dreams.

Please note: This futon requires a prescription from a licensed physician for purchase. After purchase, please fax, email, or mail a copy of your prescription in a timely manner, so that we can begin handcrafting your futon .

Some additional info on our Evergreen Foam:

All foam is comprised of oils. These oils, regardless of origin, form the organic compound polyurethane --- it's an umbrella term that describes the chemical compound, not the source. While most conventional oils will use damaging petroleum as their base, our Evergreen Foam will only use soy, castor, and other vegetable oils. To process the liquid oil into a foam product, polyols are added; polyol is sugar-based alcohol derived from castor and vegetable oils that burns off in the manufacturing process. In short, even though foam is a man-made product, all components of our Evergreen Foam are naturally derived from plant-based oils. It's as natural as foam can come!

You can think of the process much like baking a whisky cake: the batter starts out as a liquid, but baking chemically transforms the mixture from liquid to solid, while the alcohol burns off almost entirely.

If a customer is looking for the most natural product possible, we would recommend futons and bedding made from raw fibers such as cotton, kapok, and wool: these are unprocessed and close to their natural source. However, we do try to offer foam cores for comfort, budgetary, and sensitivity reasons.

I've attached a letter from the foam manufacturer. You will find page 10 most relevant, as it provides certification that the product is created without fire retardants, formaldehyde, nickle, mercury, parabens, and other hazardous materials.

What is the difference between a our workshop Futon and a our workshop Mattress?
You can watch this video about our Futon Mattresses but the differences between the two are simple:
1. A mattress is made standard at 6" thick, while a futon is 5" thick.
2. A mattress comes with side handles to help maneuver its size, but a futon is made without handles.
3. A mattress has side panels that give it a boxier shape, while a futon has rounded sides. These differences allow us to make futons out of the same high-quality material as mattresses, but for less cost. our workshop mattresses can be made up to 8" inches thick.

All of our mattress options can be made in "Futon" and "Mattress" styles.

We know how hard it can be to shop for futons and mattresses online and that is why we offer a way for you to try them first! Any monies paid towards samples can then be used as a credit towards your order.
