Consider an Upgrade from Your Old Style Futon with a Modern Hybrid Futon

Just Roll It Out

Westerners, of course, are accustomed to sleeping on bed frames that support a box-spring and a conventional mattress. However, if you’ve ever done any camping, you’re already aware of the benefits of sleeping on a flat surface. As a camper, you’re probably also awareof alternatives like the Japanese futon, which has become a more popular alternative in recent decades, and it has a very interesting history. Different periods of history in different parts of the world can be represented by different versions of beds. In European countries, serfs tossed and turned on straw-pallets. In radical contrast, nobility and royalty slumbered in luxurious beds that were so high off the floor they would make people dizzy today.

Just Roll It Up

In the Far East, there was something else going on that would have horrify European royalty. Most Japanese people, for example, had been sleeping on floor mats for centuries, the only thing separating them from dirt or stone. Most Japanese families resided in small houses, many of which only had one or two rooms. As an efficient race, the Japanese had a habit of giving their belongings multiple purposes, and sleeping mats were no exception. So, once they woke, they simply rolled the mat and stored it somewhere, like a closet or the corner of the room. Apparently, one of these sleeping mats would be included in a maiden’s dowry and then rolled down the street to her new husband’s humble abode. Interestingly, some parts of this tradition are alive and well today. Of course, today’s version has evolved significantly, but the most common denominator is the portable characteristic they both share.

Whether it was placed on the floor or atop a platform, the bed-roll we now call a futon was introduced to the West immediately upon the conclusion of World War II, when American soldiers and officers, returning from Japan, raved about the physical benefits of sleeping on the modern-day futon, so much in fact that some of them brought one home to share with their wives or girlfriends or mothers!

Just Relax & Watch A Good Movie

One huge difference between the ancient futon and its contemporary is the bed frame, which transforms the modern bed frame into a coach for lounging and entertaining. One characteristic the modern frame shares with the traditional futon is that it, too, can be altered to take up less space. Moving forward to the latest advancement in the futon’s evolution.

we now meet the all natural hybrid futon. These premiere futons combine the firmness of earlier ones, but with a latex core, the hybrids are more comfortable and yet more durable. They are also often Organic and made from All Natural materials. At any rate, this mutation includes the following improvements:

1. Like all contemporary futons, it maintains traditional features and adds to them an organic latex core;
2. It also features organic wool and organic cotton;
3. The inclusion of natural latex gives the cotton batting a slight flex or give. In conclusion, this latest incarnation is the perfect option for buyers who need firmness and a bit more soft comfort.
