What is a Futon?

The ancient Japanese matresse was unknown in Europe. 
Soft rolled up throws were used to sleep on, the futon. Originally they were single filled blankets with cotton wool. 
Stacked on top of each other they were used to sleep on and singely as covers. Due to their construction and filling these futons were very hard to keep.  
The airing and rolling of these simple futons was a daily ritual. 
Combining the futon with the traditional European matresse we established the modern futon. 
The advantage through the combination of different layers of materials provide an optimal sleeping surface for everyone

The Materials

Cotton

The plant structure used is extracted from the seed shells of the cotton wool bush. Cotton wool is the 
classic filler of futons. It is skin friendly, breathable and cleaning itself.

Sheeps wool

The wool used by us is 100% pure. It is only washed and not chemically treated. 
Sheeps wool has a high moisture obsorption capacity and is  cleaning itself.

The threads of the coconut shell are used to give a solid, flexible foundation seperating soft padding  
layers and enable thus a natural breathable surface.

Gluing the threads of the coconut shell with the milk of the Kautschuk tree you create a breathable elastic matresse. 
In comparison to pressed or stitched coconut the latexed coconut is more durable.
 These layers are most suitable for futons used in bunk beds or closed constructions.

Is one of the oldest and valuable materials. 
Its elasticity and flexibility is permanent and horse hair can absorb a lot of moisture. 
Absorbed during the night and totally released during the day.

Natural latex is the white milky juice of the Kautschuk tree. 
The juice is extracted by cutting the rind of the tree. This juice is frothed with air and solidifies through heating.  
The foam blocks created are porous and in comparison to animal hair its thread free.  
It is most suitable for people with allergies. From the orthopaedic point of view, latex is the most valuable filling material.
 Latex matresses support the natural body form through its high elasticity in every position.

Your futon should be aired and turned regularly. All the used materials are anti static, meaning they are dust repellent.
Covers are made from pure cotton. Stains can be removed with water and in some cases harmless cleaners.
The daily rolling up of the futon is no longer necessar
