Monterey-Alberta Futon Couch Set (Shipping Included)

About the frame: The Monterey is a classic futon design! Its multiple finish options allow you to match it with almost any furniture!  This frame is made from Rubberwood (Parawood). Commonly known as the rubber tree or Para rubber tree, it is native to the Amazon Region of South America and is also grown in Southeast Asia. Rubberwood produces the latex used in rubber-based products. After the economic life of the rubber tree, which is generally 26-30 years, the latex yields become extremely low and the planters then fell the rubber trees and plant new ones. So, unlike other woods that are cut down for the sole purpose of producing furniture, Rubberwood is used only after it completes its latex-producing cycle and dies. Rubberwood wood is eco-friendly since the wood would otherwise go to waste.

About the futon: The Alberta futon mattress  is a Cotton Cloud original and is among our most popular futons. It is a versatile handcrafted futon that is designed for everyday use. This futon is ideally suited to be used every day as a sofa and the occasional bed.

At the center of this approximately 6" futon are two 2.5" pieces of HR convoluted piece of CertiPUR-US^® Foam, which provides resiliency and support. This core is wrapped in 5" of naturally luxurious cotton batting that is processed locally to our exacting standards. All of the materials are protected by a heavy outer shell that features double-stitched seams. Our futons are tufted in order to keep all of the materials in place.
