Airlay Futon - Queen Size 8" Thick Futon Mattress Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After 3 days decompressing, the futon is still soft, very soft. It is ok for me since it is to lounge in the living room, and rarely, for a guest to sleep on. But if you want a firm futon, this is not the right one for you.

We have been selling futon mattresses from our retail location for over 20 years. Recent increases in the price of polyurethane foam has made it a challenge to find affordably priced options amongst the futon mattress products available in today's market. This is why we are so excited about this revolutionary new product.Unlike conventional futon mattresses ours has a patented Airlay fibre-foam core which helps the futon spring back to life and retain its shape without using costly polyurethane foam. This newly developed product is made with a blend of cotton, polyester and low-melt fibers thermally bonded to produce a density of 2.8 lbs with longevity twice that of standard foam. The foam core is wrapped in multiple layers of pure cotton batting which gives the futon a soft natural feel. The cotton contains a small amount of non-toxic substance (boric acid) as a fire retardant, complying with California's strict safety requirements. Our casing is made of 6.5 oz natural white cotton duck material (similar to lightweight canvas). The mattress is tufted to give it a 'pillowed' appearance and help the futon retain its shape. IMPORTANT NOTICE: We consider this futon mattress to be an excellent choice for consumers looking for good quality at a low price. If you want a premium quality futon mattress and you are willing to spend a little more, please take a look at our selection of Otis brand futons. These futon mattresses are shipped via UPS ground, usually within 24-48 hours. We vacuum-pack and boxeach futon mattress just before shipping. Some other sellers just roll and bag their mattresses which results in a higher risk of shipping damage. -SORRY, WE DO NOT SHIP TO ALASKA OR HAWAII.

J-Life Japanese Traditional Shiki Futon - TWIN SIZE (shikibuton) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been sleeping every night on this futon for more than a year now, and am very happy with it. The first thing I noticed when I got it was its weight. It weighs about 27 pounds, and is a little unwieldy to transport. I also noticed a smell that I assume is the boric acid which is used as a fire retardant. The smell has diminished with time so that it isn't really noticeable any more.
The construction of the mattress is very solid. It has a very tough outer cover over a 4 inch layer of thick cotton batting. There is also a zipper to allow access to the batting, or perhaps to allow the cover to be washed (although I don't think that would be advisable).
Because of the firmness of this mattress, I found that it took a little time to adjust to it after sleeping on a regular mattress. Also, my body doesn't sink into the mattress as much, which makes it a little harder to sleep on my side. I've found that it helps to use a Japanese style pillow (such as this one: Organic Buckwheat Pillow - Japanese Size (14" x 20")) to give my neck better support.
With use, the cotton tends to compress. I've noticed a definite depression where the heaviest part of my body rests. To remedy this, every so often it helps to lift up the mattress and drop it from several feet onto the ground, or else to hang it up and beat it with a stick or bat (the manufacturer's care instructions actually recommend this!).
Pros:
+ Firm, but not overly so.
+ Comfortable enough to sleep on every night.
+ Solid, durable construction.
+ Folds up easily for storage.
+ Can be transported much easier than a normal mattress.
Cons:
- Compresses with use (although this can be remedied with proper care).
- Short length makes it non-ideal for tall people (over 6').
- A bit pricey (but worth it).
I would definitely buy this again given the choice. Combined with a Japanese style pillow, it is the ultimate minimalist bed.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This futon was exactly what I was looking for. I have a small space that is mostly a "man cave" but occasionally needs to be a guest room, and this futon is the perfect solution. Comfy for one person, but tucks away neatly when not needed.
The seller sent the wrong futon at first, but was mostly nice and helpful and corrected the error.
