The Futon Favorite >> Mattresses >> Foam/Cotton

Cotton and foam was introduced to extend the life of the original all cotton futon. We use  block foam . Foam costs a little more than all cotton but has several distinct advantages. Foamcore futons have several different qualities. First of all foam decreases the overall weight of the futon and it allows the futon mattress to be lighter in weight and easier to handle. The mattress will retain its shape when upright in the sofa position. The density of the foam can change the way the futon feels when you sit on it. You can go from a soft/plush feel, to a medium cushiony feel, all the way up to a very firm feel. There are many options and lots of advantages to a cotton-foam futon.  We actually now have four different foam core futon mattresses in our line.

Basic


This futon mattress has a one piece foam core in the center. What this does is add uniformity to the overall shape of the mattress. It also adds strength when using it on a A-frame style of frame. This futon can be made anywhere from a 5" up to 9" thick.

The basis "Select" futon might just be all you need for that spare room  and occasional overnight guest. Still one of our best sellers and with a great price point. We have this priced from $118 up to $169 depending on the thickness.



Deluxe

This is a great all around mattress made either 7" 8" 9" thick using two pieces of convoluted "egg crate " type foam in the core of the mattress. This foam is of a medium to high density and works exceptionally well for a bifold sofa style futon frame as well as for a platform bed. The 9" thick is a great choice for those who plan to use the futon for everyday use or sleeping. This is an excellent multi purpose futon that has long lasting durability and comfort. 
 
Plushcor

The plushcor has as its characteristic feel a slow release foam that allows the body to gently sink into the futon. If you like extra firm, firm or even medium firm this is not the futon mattress for you. This is for the person that wants a plush feel to their sitting furniture. The core of this futon is four inches of solid medium density foam wrapped with poly-dacron fibers and cotton batting on each side.. This blend  fills out the depth and adds softness to the surface. You have to try this one to realize the depth of the plush comfort it offers. Everybody has their own preference for comfort and their own liking. This is one of our good sellers.
