Lovejoy Couch Futon: organic cotton

This Organic futon is a Cotton Cloud original and is among our most popular futons. It is a versatile handcrafted futon that is designed for everyday use as a sofa and the occasional bed. The Lovejoy is appropriate for heavier use rooms like living-rooms and family-rooms and is our most popular & best selling couch futon.  It has an estimated life span of 5-10 years. At the center of this approximately 8" futon are two 2" pieces of HR convoluted piece of CertiPUR-US® Foam, which provides resiliency and support. This core is wrapped in naturally luxurious organic cotton batting,  a fluffy layer of high quality wool is the final layer, which enhances bodily warmth in winter and coolness in summer. All of the materials are protected by a organic cotton sateen fabric outer shell that features double-stitched seams. Our futons are tufted in order to keep all of the materials in place. We fill our futons with a set formula but because batches of cotton can vary and we make our futons by hand, they don't always start their life at perfect mattress dimensions.  Usually a futon will begin up to three inches shorter than industry standard.  As the fibers inside compact, they spread outward often causing a gain of 1-3 inches.  This compaction process can take up to a year to accomplish.   This listing is for a futon mattress only. Frame, cover, and accessories not included.   Because of the risk of mold or mildew, this type of mattress needs a breathable surface to rest on.  A slatted frame is ideal.  Solid surfaces or the floor are NOT appropriate places to keep it.  IF you need a suggestion for a frame let us know!  We will be happy to help you pick a frame to go along with your mattress. Regular flipping and rotating of the mattress is required for maintenance.
