What is a futon??

Futons have been around for 2000 years. They originate from Japan but they can also be found all over the world these days due to their practical qualities. Some of the benefits of a futon are:
 
*     They are excellent for people with bad backs.
*     They are half the price of inner-spring and water beds.
*     They are easily transportable (they fit into most 4 door sedans).
 
Although sometimes people use the term "futon" to refer to the mattress AND the base, here at Fantasy Futon we prefer to use the term just to refer to the mattress part of the bed.
 
The most supportive feature about a futon is the cotton. Cotton contours to your back shape and provides full body support to the sleeper. A slatted base is essential to give your mattress proper support and to allow proper air circulation.
