Cotton Cloud Futons

Lovejoy Couch Futon: natural cotton

$465

This futon is a Cotton Cloud original and is among our most popular futons. It is a versatile handcrafted futon that is designed for everyday use as a sofa and the occasional bed. The Lovejoy is appropriate for heavier use rooms like living-rooms and family-rooms and is our most popular & best selling couch futon.  It has an estimated life span of 5-10 years.

At the center of this approximately 8" futon are two 2" pieces of HR convoluted piece of CertiPUR-US® Foam, which provides resiliency and support. This core is wrapped in naturally luxurious  cotton batting,  a fluffy layer of high quality wool is the final layer, which enhances bodily warmth in winter and coolness in summer. All of the materials are protected by a heavy duty 100% cotton fabric outer shell that features double-stitched seams. Our futons are tufted in order to keep all of the materials in place.

We fill our futons with a set formula but because batches of cotton can vary and we make our futons by hand, they don't always start their life at perfect mattress dimensions.  Usually a futon will begin up to three inches shorter than industry standard.  As the fibers inside compact, they spread outward often causing a gain of 1-3 inches.  This compaction process can take up to a year to accomplish.

This listing is for a futon mattress only. Frame, cover, and accessories not included.

CertiPUR-US® foam is a flexible polyurethane foam which has been rigorously tested and certified by an accredited laboratory to meet specific criteria for physical performance, content, indoor emissions and environmental stewardship. CertiPUR-US® approved foams are:

  • Low emission (VOCs) for indoor air quality
  • Made without prohibited phthalates
  • Made without ozone depleters (no CFCs)
  • Made without mercury, lead or heavy metals
  • Made without formaldehyde
  • Made without PBDEs

Because of the risk of mold or mildew, this type of mattress needs a breathable surface to rest on.  A slatted frame is ideal.  Solid surfaces or the floor are NOT appropriate places to keep it.  IF you need a suggestion for a frame let us know!  We will be happy to help you pick a frame to go along with your mattress. Regular flipping and rotating of the mattress is required for maintenance.

Couch Frames - Choosing The Right Size


The type and level of use you anticipate for your futon will determine the type of frame to best suit your needs. Futon frames generally come in two broad varieties: folding frames and stationary platform beds.

Platform Bed Sizes

Single and Twin size mattresses are the same, and are usually used for kids' rooms or solitary sleepers. Full and Double size mattresses are the same. Double beds are only 15" wider than twins, which may not be adequate for 2 adults. Queen size mattresses are our most popular size for platform beds. The 60" width comfortably accommodates most adults.
This is the widest standard bed available, providing enough room for 2 large adults, plus the family dog! This is the longest standard bed available, making it ideal for taller people, and only 4 inches narrower than the King size.



Futon Covers - Choose The Right Size


 

In order to ensure you get a futon cover that fits your futon mattress, it is important that you measure your mattress correctly.

To accurately gauge the size of your futon mattress, measure all three dimensions. length, width, and height (height can also be referred to as loft or depth).

Measure the longest side (length) of the futon as accurately as you can from corner seam to corner seam. Then measure the width and height in the same manner.

Most of the covers Cotton Cloud Futons sells are designed to fit a 6" thick mattress. If your mattress is thicker or thinner than these measurements, let us know and we will have a cover custom made to fit it correctly.

Be as accurate as you can when measuring, the size of the futon may vary with age and usage. Use the standard sizes below to identify what size futon mattress you have.

Full and Double size mattresses are the same. They can be used on bi-fold, tri- fold frames or platform beds. Queen size mattresses are most commonly sold for platform beds. They can also be used as a sofa on a bi-fold frame, but the back of a queen size futon will stick up about 6" higher than a full size futon, which is sometimes awkward. They are also a bit more difficult to operate than full size mattresses. A queen size futon can also be used on a tri-fold frame to make an oversized chair.
A 39in futon chair frame is the same width as a twin. You can choose to have a 39x21 inch cushion made for the ottoman. 54in Futon love seats look like a minature sofas. A 54in futon frame is the same width as a Full. With the use of 54in loveseat built in ottoman a full size sleeping surface [54"x75"] can be achieved.
