Futon Cotton & Coconut

Product features

The batting of the Futon Cotton & Coir mattress consists of 6 layers of carded cotton and an internal layer of breathable coconut fibre.

This model is a mattress with firm lying comfort: the presence of several layers of cotton and the core layer of coconut fibre determine the firmness.

The batting of this mattress is symmetrical, this means that the degree of support and lying comfort does not change regardless of which side of the futon is facing upwards.

If you prefer a mattress with an even higher level of firmness we recommend the Futon with Cotton & Double Coconut.

Futon-mattresses are especially appreciated for their versatility. In Japan futons are spread on tatami-floors for sleeping at night. Futons can very well also be used in beds with slat frames or tatami.

Colour customisation

The futon cover is available in different colors, which you will find in the above selection. The hand made step-stichting and edge seams are the same color as the cover of the futon.

Maintenance and care

Futons are quilted mattresses so you cannot remove the cover. Possible stains will have to be removed with a stain remover. To protect the Futon from stains and dust, we recommend to add the removable cover which opens on three sides. You will find this in the Accessories section. The removable cover is made of the same material as the futon cover and can be ordered in a different color.

Further we recommend to turn the futon over from time to time, so that the cotton layers maintain an even density as they become slightly compressed due to the weight of the body. The futon should also occasionally be rolled up and put to air out, so that any moisture which may have been absorbed over time can escape. It´s best to repeat this operation at every change of season.

Durability of the futon

In Arpel we do not use recycled cotton for the batting of our futons. With recycled cotton we wouldn't be able to guarantee the desired quality of the fibre, as it is often too worn out. Arpel mattresses are made of high-quality virgin cotton and with proper care they will last up to 10 years.
