8 inch Cotton and Wool Fiber Futon (Twin XL)

Oh my gosh, this is the most luxurious and comfortable bed ever! I have gotten futon mattresses for many years. This one is so quality and now, after 4 years, it still feels fantastic. It is slightly firmer as time goes on, but starts out moderately firm.

Whatever this thing is, it's no authentic futon bed: it's just spongy and, like most critics point out, sinks with your weight instead of supporting it with any semblance of firm-yet-comfortable support. Now we're stuck with the dang spongy thing! Don't waste your money on this thing, people! Buyer Beware!!!! You've been duly cautioned!

I did a lot of research to find an affordable option for natural bedding for my kids. This mattress meets US fire standards because wool is a natural flame retardant. This means that my kids no longer sleep on beds made of fiberglass, pesticides, or other toxins.As other reviewers have said, the mattresses come cloudy and then become firmer as the wool packs down. My kids are small so this hasn’t been an issue (after a few months of use). I prefer a firmer mattress so I enjoy laying on their beds too.I plan to purchase the same mattresses again in a couple years as my kids grow, but instead of purchasing new and disposing the old mattresses I’ll just stack the new mattresses on top of the old ones to add 8 inches of support. Like the princess and the pea.

Just slept on this for the first time, it is soft and would be comfortable if it didn't compress all the way down to where you feel the slats under you. I think it was underfilled. Sadly I am disappointed. I am going to put something underneath it so I can't feel the slats. I should have read the reviews before purchasing!Edit: the mattress is substantially underfilled. The poster above that described the center sinking down to where you feel the slats was completely accurate. The manufacturer is skimping on the filling. Was going to return this, but I found someone who wanted it for their child. This mattress will only work for occasional use or a lightweight child.

Mattress is heavy duty, its stuffing is simple cotton wool blow-in. Will not win comfort awards but it wont poison your children either.

The mattress was described as medium firm but I could tell when I pulled it out that it was tufted like a fluffy cloud. Very soft. Fortunately I only have to sleep on it part time. It does appear to be very natural, no chemical smell or anything like that which is what we wanted. I wish it had handles sewn on to make it easier to move.

We love it. Very happy with our purchase.

The mattress does not “last 8-10 years” as the seller quotes. Within a month the mattress squished down in the middle and seems the filling has shifted. I like the chemical-free aspect and it doesn’t smell or offgass but hurts my back now and the seller told me to contact the manufacturer. Buyer beware.
