What's the difference between our Economy and Luxury Organic Futons?? Our 3" Economy Organic Cotton Futons are certified organic, pure, and as functional as our Euro-Luxury 4.5" or 6" Organic Cotton Futons. The difference is in the materials, construction, craftsmanship, and the price. The luxury grade features a much more luxurious and durable fabric cover, better carding, tufting, & quilting of the batting inside the cover, substantially thicker mattress (the extra 1.5" or 3" does make a big difference in overall loft), and all-in-all higher grade raw materials (in fact, the Luxury futons are made from the highest quality organic materials there is, so matching up to their quality is a tall order for any futon, not just the Economy Organic Futon).

The Economy Organic Futon, on the other hand, features a lighter and not as tight muslin fabric and constructed for a shorter time span of use (3-5 years, often longer with proper care) than the Luxury Futons, which, with proper care, may last you 12-18 years at least. That said, the 3" Economy futons are as functional and as pure as the Luxury futons and offered at a much lower price, good for a starter organic futon, a spare organic futon for guests, or the futon couch. They are also somewhat easier to store rolled up in a closet when not in use.

The Economy Organic Cotton and/or Wool Futons are constructed most like an authentic Japanese futon...with a decidedly eco-friendly twist: they are made from your choice of 100% organic cotton cover & fill, or 100% organic cotton cover with 100% pure wool fill (a 100% pure hemp version is also available: please click here to view or buy). For optimum comfort, purity, and support while you sleep, you can't beat our truly natural bedroom offerings.

In Japan, futons are traditionally made in 3" thickness from cotton batting and kept rolled up in the closet during the day & rolled out right on the tatami floor at night to sleep on.

This makes for an efficient use of living space (which is precious in most of Japan) and makes airing, sunning, moving, and storage very simple. We have ourselves found the 3" thickness to be ideal for sleeping right on the floor as well as easy to ship.

Customers preferring a thicker mattress for slatted futon frames or bed frames will do well with piling two 3" futons on top of each other (one 3" futon alone is only suitable for the floor or the platform bed and not suitable for slatted frames), making for a thick and cozy 6" mattress which is still easy to air & sun (very important for keeping the futon fresh and clean) and economical to transport and store. Many of our customers get one 3" organic cotton or hemp futon and one 3" pure wool futon to get two kinds of support (organic cotton on top makes for a firm mattress, whereas wool on top makes for a plusher one). A mattress topper or mattress pad can be added on top of one or two futons for extra fluffiness. Alternatively, you may also go with our Euro-Luxury Organic Cotton Futons which come in mattress height of either 4.5 inches or 6 inches, which also perfect for use as a regular mattress on more conventional bed frames and slats.

Natural bedding materials (hemp, organic cotton, wool) are breathable and keep air circulating freely at all times, keeping you cozy and warm on chilly nights and cool on balmy nights. They are also indispensable for people with chemical sensitivity and allergies.

Organic cotton and Hemp:

• Settle down over time, providing a firm but "giving" support. The materials of choice for traditional Japanese futons and vegans everywhere. Ideal for layering and also as a stand-alone 3" futon on the floor as well as on the traditional Japanese tatami mat floor or solid platform beds. Great for comforter filling too. The best natural materials for bedding (there is no outgassing as there is with conventional cotton & synthetic bedding materials or even "natural" latex). 100% hemp batting especially makes for a wonderful comforter filling as its breathability and insulating qualities keep you very warm and cozy in the winter and cool in the summer.

Pure wool:

• Fluffy and full of loft. Ideal as a top layer but probably too soft for most people as a stand-alone 3" futon. Excellent material for comforter filling. Cruelty-free wool.

All of our futons qualify for our $5 Economic Shipping within the 48 contiguous states and Canada (we will contact customers in Alaska and Hawaii with freight quotes before we proceed with the order).

Please note: Please be aware that our organic cotton, wool, and hemp futons and toppers are not returnable due to reasons of hygiene. Natural Bedroom (who custom-manufactures our organic pillows for us) is an internationally recognized manufacturer of quality organic bedding and bath products, so on top of the Rawganique.com name that our customers have come to associate with integrity and quality, there is the long history and reliability of the Natural Bedroom brand name.

If you are not sure or are very particular about the texture of fabrics, etc.., then we recommend that you find bedding and bath products in your local stores rather than buying them online as they are not returnable. We can only assure you that our products are as pure and sustainable as can be and that, coming from us, is no small claim. We've looked everywhere for the very best products and only settle for a manufacturer that meets our strict criteria of sustainability, fair labor standards, zero cruelty to animals, non-exploitation of workers, environmental conservation, and purity. Thank you for your understanding.
