* Premium 9" Cotton/Fibre-Foam Futon Mattress

Product Review

This is one of the best futons we have ever found for the money. A true 9-10 inch thick futon that will keep you happy for years. When buying a futon and frame, your most important decision is on the futon itself because this is where your comfort (or lack of) comes from. What makes this futon different are the two layers of 5 inch, high-resiliency Fibre-Foam. Fibre-Foam, unlike traditional urethane foams, does not breakdown over time when exposed to light and air. This special, blended foam was invented in Europe and it takes a special multi-million dollar machine, imported from 4 different European countries to blend natural cotton and polyester together. So in addition to this foam being more resilient and longer lasting than traditional urethane foams found in most other futons, the manufacturing process is much more environmentally friendly and helps to recylce raw materials used in other parts of the futon manufacturing process. Another feature of this foam is that it is very flexible. We know of no other futon this thick that can be used on just about any frame - whether a full length couch, a lounger or even a A-Frame (like our Stealth A-Frame). An exceptional value for an all-purpose, long-lasting and very comfortable futon.

Not that great., January 13, 2007

The pad arrives significantly compressed from shipping (it ships rolled and tied tightly with twine and wrapped in plastic sheeting), and then goes downhill from there. Maybe if you can pick it up yourself from a retail store, and handle it carefully, it won't fall flat. But don't have this shipped, unless you like sleeping on something that feels like sleeping on a floor--a thickly carpeted floor, but the floor nonetheless. Not the plush, many years of comfort, comfy futon pad advertised. We've had ours for just over 6 months, in use by my less than 45 pound daughter, and the pad is less than 5" thick now. (And that's in the corner near the wall where only her stuffed rabbit has been sleeping!)

If you're desperate, and don't have much $$$, then this is better than nothing. But I won't buy another one. I'll go get a cheap-o synthetic foam pad that will be far more comfortable and durable that this. It's a nice idea, but doesn't work.

I have slept on the 9 inch "plush" for 2 nights now and have had

a back ache each morning. The mattress is hard!! The 9 inch is not 9, maybe 6 or 7.

what a backache!, September 24, 2007

Maybe I just got a "lemon" but after a couple weeks, this futon was very flat in the middle where I slept, so that I could feel the my frame's wooden slats underneath. The sides were still fluffy, so it was very concave and I ended up with a backache... I tried flipping it, etc., but it was hopeless so I went back to the old futon that this was meant to replace.
