Organic Futon

Benefits of our Organic Kapok Futon

Natural Comfort:

Wool and kapok are both natural materials known for their comfort and softness. Wool provides a plush and cozy feel, while kapok offers a supportive yet buoyant sensation. Together, they create a comfortable sleep surface that conforms to your body contours.

Temperature Regulation:

Wool is an excellent natural insulator that helps regulate body temperature. It has the ability to wick away moisture and release excess heat, keeping you cool in warmer months and warm during colder seasons. Kapok, with its breathable and lightweight nature, further enhances airflow and helps maintain a comfortable sleep temperature.

Moisture Management:

Wool has natural moisture-wicking properties, allowing it to absorb and evaporate moisture efficiently. This can help prevent the buildup of sweat and humidity, promoting a dry and comfortable sleep environment.

Durability and Longevity:

Both wool and kapok are durable materials known for their longevity. They can retain their shape and support over time, reducing the need for frequent mattress replacements and contributing to cost-effectiveness.

Chemical-Free and Non-Toxic:

Wool and kapok mattresses are typically made without the use of harsh chemicals, flame retardants, or synthetic additives. This makes them a healthier choice, reducing exposure to potentially harmful substances often found in conventional mattresses.

Breaking in Period - Your futon will be quite “fluffed up” when it arrives. Once it is in place, spend a few minutes patting and smoothing the kapok to evenly distribute it within the covering. For the first few weeks, your sleeping body will leave an imprint, as the kapok has not yet compacted to the futon’s finished height of 4 inches. Since you don’t want that imprint to be permanent, continue to smooth/pat/fluff and redistribute the kapok each morning for 2 to 4 weeks. With this initial care, the futon will settle to provide the firm but resilient sleeping surface for which it is known.  All mattresses become compressed over time, but unlike foam or cotton, kapok can be fluffed and redistributed indefinitely. If you continue to pat the futon surface from the top and bottom toward the middle every few days, you will find the same resilient surface each night.
