Futon Beds for Sale South Africa

A Futon mattress is a padded mattress from Japanese origin.

Many types of futons are manufactured today. 

Some of these are :

• • Futons made of Polyester (Chemical fibres)
  • Cotton Futons
  • Feather Futons
  • Down Futons
  • Wool Futons

The original form of the Futon started in the 17th century when people started stuffing their bedclothes with cotton and wool. Before that time the only alternative was a straw mat as only the very rich could afford a Tatami which was a harder version of the Futon mattress.

Later in the 18th century Futon mattress production increased as cotton became available as a domestic product in Japan.Futons at that stage were still way too expensive for the average guy on the street.By then you could buy a futon for 1,200,000 yen!

Only in the 19th century were futons affordable to you and me.

Futon beds have become a very fashionable item in South Africa over the last decade and is the perfect bed for the guest bedroom. Treat your guests to a bit of Japanese history and they will have lots to talk about when they leave.
