All Cotton and High Denisty Foam Futon Mattresses


All cotton futon mattresses have been around forever, they remain a staple of the futon world and will for the foreseeable future. High density foam futon mattresses are a more recent addition to the futon industry. HD futon mattresses are, in my opinion, a vast improvement over old fashion all cotton futon mattresses. All cotton futon mattresses tend to wear more quickly than HD futon mattresses, cotton batting will change much faster than foam.

So, if you're a traditionalist about you futon mattresses stick to all cotton, it'll feel the way you remember and give you exactly what you want.

Free Shipping - How does my competition do it?


Every Internet Retailer is offering free shipping, they have been for a while, but lets be honest, it's not really free is it? Sorry about the sarcasm, but I have a hard time seeing sites tell you that the shipping is free but when you look at their return policy they tell you that shipping is non-refundable. I think that one's hilarious.

Oh yeah, on a whim I called my UPS rep to try and get free shipping since all the other futon retailers were offering it, but, he told me I was crazy. :)

The foam core of the Athens futon mattress utilizes a unique construction process. Called Fibre Foam, the core of the Athens is made from pure cotton that is bonded together by poly material and heat.

Futon Mattresses: Foam vs. Natural Fibers.


Finding the right futon mattress can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. In your search for the perfect futon mattress you may have found mattresses that fall into several categories: all foam, all cotton, or foam and cotton combined.
A few things to keep in mind when you choose between the various mattresses on the market are:
1. Natural fiber futons will change over time, cotton can compress the more it's used.
2. Any futon mattress worth it's own weight, will have a warranty. If you can't find the warranty info listed, ask the retailer for it.
3. There are futon mattresses designed for sleeping, sitting or both. Make sure the futon you're looking at is right for how you'd like to use it.

Visit My site for more info or take a look at the futon mattresses that I carry here.
