Before buy a futon, it is necessary to know some basic information to be able to make the right decision. This type of traditional Japanese bed is actually a "cotton mattress." It was originally designed to be portable, placing it on the floor for use, but today it is accompanied by a structure, in most cases as a sofa bed.
How to choose a futon well?
There are 3 types of futons that you should choose according to your tastes and needs:
The traditional one, ideal for small spaces or for transporting
It is made from cotton flowers and exists in different thicknesses. The 10-12 cm is the one that we can take anywhere and is recommended for use in extra beds or to take camping. The 15-18 cm one is ideal for beds and sofas, it has the great advantage that, no matter how much you fold and unfold it, it does not spoil, unlike other mattresses.
The coconut fiber, for those with back problems
It is much firmer than the previous one and allows the back to remain in good posture, that is why it is the most recommended if you have problems or pain in it. They are usually between 15-18 cm thick.
Made of latex, for those who love flexibility
Elasticity is the main characteristic of latex futons, free of polyurethane, which helps you achieve that no gap or shape is marked, but at the same time allows you adapt to the body. It must only be installed on fixed beds.
