[W943]Wood Futon With Mattress
by Tuchchai Suwanawong, Tuc

If you have a difficult of finding the way out from the problem of finding a corner to sleep in a very small rooms, you are not alone! As there are also millions of people who have same problem who are living in cramped quarters, whether they are college students, have too many roommates, or living in a very tiny room space.

Apart from saving room space, there are also another benefit of using futon, which is its flexibility of use. You can use futon in the guest room where also have limited space and have a wonderfully decorated room making the most out of your limited space. You can purchase a Futon in a number of different patterns and styles, that will enable you to make the Futon suitable for any guest room's décor as well as your house style.

Now I can say that these people must looking for a kind of futon bed to solve their problem and it is a really wise choice. Futon is a kind of mattress which is original is from Japan. Even though it is now very popular among western countries, but the style of mattress itself as well as the usage are still remain the same as what they are used in Japan, which mattress rests upon a Tatami mat and isn't set upon a bed frame, as is the norm in the west. The Futon mattress also is folded and stored away during the day in Japan.

In fact, Japanese futon are made fro natural cotton so it is not harmful to our environment. The normal way to clean this kind of futon is very easy by only put it against the strong sunlight and hit it by using hard bamboo stick to get rid of dusty stuff and mold. This is actually a very healthy practice as science is just now releasing facts regarding how many germs and bacteria thrive on mattresses and pillows.

However, there is a slight different in terms of its design as the most of futon used in western countries is normally set upon a bed frame and the futon is used as both a bed and a couch. So this is why futon is very popular among people who have limited space of their room as it can be used in both ways.

In western countries, as mentioned above that the futon is generally be remain in the bed frame, so it is uncommon to have it clean or take out from its frame then put it against the sunlight daily (which almost impossible) However, one thing is similar, and that is that most Western Futon mattresses are eco-friendly as well and are made with foam style batting. Though thicker than their Japanese counterparts, they are often springless mattresses. The most benefit of using futon is as the futon is a springless bed but if you want a with-spring one, are is also s spring-filled mattress available for you buy additional one.


At one time a futon was the logical choice for a bed in a dorm room or a small apartment. Now more and more people are opting to have a futon in their living room or rec room so that they have extra sleeping space for when company comes and spends the night. A futon doubles as a sofa and a bed because you can pull it out into a full size bed. A futon mattress is flexible so that it folds easily into a sitting position when not in use as a bed.

There are several factors to keep in mind when choosing a mattress for a futon. You have to think of the firmness, which refers to how resistant the mattress is to pressure when someone lies on it. You want it to be firm enough so that when you lie down you can't feel the springs underneath. The rigidity of the mattress is another factor you have to look at. This refers to how well the mattress retains its square shape and how well the cover will fit after the mattress has been used several times. The flexibility of the mattress is important as well. Since you have to fold it up to convert it from a sofa to a sleeper, this should not be a cumbersome task that requires more than one person.

Next you have to take a look at the different types of mattresses that you can buy for a futon. These are:
- Traditional mattress with a foam interior covered by cotton. The filling for this type of mattress is usually cotton or polyester and is constructed using different layering techniques. This is a great choice if you will be using the mattress all year round because the cotton fabrics keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. These mattresses have a great degree of flexibility, which means they are very easy to fold.

- Innerspring mattresses. These mattresses closely resemble the type of mattress that you have in your bed because they contain springs. The grid of springs inside the mattress helps to eliminate noise when one moves about when sleeping. These are best suited for a futon that you do not have to fold several times to convert it from a bed to a sofa. It is also an excellent choice if the futon is to serve as a bed for a long period of time.

- Memory or latex Foam mattresses. The mattresses made with memory form conform to the shape of your body when you lie on them. They are made of several layers of high-density polystyrene foam or could be made from latex in an egg carton style. The open cells in the foam allow for the movement of air when you lie on them. This is what causes it to react to your body shape and not bounce like other mattresses do.

You can coordinate the cover of the mattress to match the dor of your room. In addition, there are many different styles of futons to choose from so that it can become a very comfortable piece of furniture that looks great in any room of your home.
