Organic Cotton Latex & Wool Futon


  • Looking for the most luxurious organic futon out there? You found it. Our Organic Cotton Latex & Wool Futon layers organic cotton and wool around a supple, 100% organic, GOLS certified Dunlop latex core encased in organic cotton twill. The latex core gives the Organic Cotton Latex & Wool Futon unprecedented comfort and contouring in a futon style mattress and is hand-tufted for superior longevity. This is not your parents’ futon.

    These are, quite simply, the ideal mattresses for anyone who prefers a soft, yet supportive bed and/or is trying to better utilize their space. An organic futon can fold into a couch or lounger, which makes them perfect for studios, small apartments, multipurpose rooms, or a healthy and comfy guest bed.  And our Organic Cotton, Latex & Wool Futon is the best organic futon to use in a sofa set-up - the organic latex core reduces creasing where the futon folds; creases can make futons less comfortable when slept on.

    All Soaring Heart organic futons are handmade from only the highest quality organic materials using time honored techniques practiced, honed and perfected over the past 30 years. You can expect your new organic futon to last you anywhere from eight to fifteen years, depending upon how well you maintain it. Futons require occasional flipping so that they wear evenly. 

    At full, original loft, the layers of cotton, latex and organic wool that make up each Soaring Heart futon measure 24” tall, give or take, only compressing down to the more familiar seven inches after passing through the skilled hands of our craftspeople. Once slept on for a while, your new organic futon will settle down to six or seven inches.  To see measurements, click the size guide button above.

  • Please allow a 1-2 week lead time for production, as this is a handmade product.

  • Keep Your Futon Off Non-Breathable Surfaces

    We recommend all futons and shikibutons be kept off the floor. Latex and innerspring mattress need to be kept on slats. Not keeping your latex or innerspring mattress on a slatted frame or foundation will void its warranty.

    The more air that can circulate around all surfaces of your natural bed, the better. When not exposed to air, cotton can begin to mildew because the temperature difference between your body heat passing through the futon and the relative coldness of a non-breathable surface (the floor, solid plywood, etc...) can allow condensation to build up.

    Use an All Natural Mattress Pad For Prevention

    To prevent body moisture from getting into your bed (which can prematurely compress and harden the natural fibers and make your bed lumpy and uncomfortable), always sleep with one of our all natural organic cotton pads . Don't use a poly-blend pad. They aren't absorbent and can cause you to perspire more during sleep. Wash and dry your natural mattress pad with your sheets. Make sure the pad is completely dry before putting it back on your bed, and your mattress will stay clean and healthy for years to come.

    Flip & Rotate

    Make sure your organic futon or shikibuton wears evenly (avoiding body impressions) by flipping and rotating it regularly, so you end up sleeping on all different parts of the bed equally. We recommend doing this once a week for the first month, then once every other week thereafter.

    Give Your Bed a Sun Bath

    A couple times a year, on a sunny day, put your futon, shikibuton, or topper outside in the sun for an hour or two on each side. It's like giving your bed a natural dry-cleaning. The sun fluffs and revitalizes the fibers, discourages microbial growth, and evaporates any residual moisture. Does not apply to latex - latex can be deteriorated by sunlight.

    Revitalization Services

    Even if you lovingly follow all the steps listed above, there may come a day when your natural bed doesn't feel quite as comfortable as it originally did. In that case, feel free to click the button below to send us information about your product so we can schedule a revitalization time. Often times, all that's necessary to bring new life to your faithful futon is a few new layers of cotton or wool, and that can cost significantly less than a new bed. This service is for Seattle area residents only.

Replacement Futon

Our original Soaring Heart Futon purchase was 25 years ago. We had gone back and forth whether to purchase a sofa or replace the futon mattress to fit our Soaring Heart Mission style frame. We looked at the showroom in Edmonds and and decided on a replacement. We are very happy with the new futon mattress and bolster covers we purchased. The delivery men were very courteous and careful and even hauled away the eggcrate foam mattress topper we had. Very happy with our purchase.

Sensitive to vibrations? GET THIS BED!

I spent 2 minutes on this bed in the showroom and knew this was the bed for me. To be certain I spent a day visiting 6 different showrooms throughout the Puget Sound to experience a variety of mattresses just to be certain. What this mattress gives that others do not was what I would call a vibrational dampening. When I experienced this bed in the showroom, it felt quiet. There was a absence of sound and of vibrations in the in & around the bed (people, electronics like fans or devices with cooling fans in them). I felt the vibrations from life around me quiet as if someone was turning down the volume on a television. It was incredible. I did not realize how much this effected me until I had was able to isolate myself from it.
I am now into 2 months with this mattress. I am sleeping better than I have ever slept. My body not only physically feels rejuvenated from the rest, but I am also more relaxed because I feel as though my nervous system was insulated from the constant vibrations that are common to life.
