Dimensions & Care At full, original loft, the layers of cotton, latex, and wool that make up each Soaring Heart futon measure 24” tall, give or take, only compressing down to the more familiar seven inches after passing through the skilled hands of Soaring Heart craftspeople. Once slept on for a while, your new organic futon will settle down to six or seven inches. You can expect your new organic futon to last you anywhere from eight to fifteen years, depending upon how well you maintain it. Futons require occasional flipping so that they wear evenly. This reduces body impressions, which can make a futon less comfortable over time.
A Bit More About Soaring Heart Since 1982, Soaring Heart Natural Bed Company has been making mattresses and bedding using time-tested techniques, honed and polished over three decades. Everything is made by hand and uses only the highest quality materials available, sourced locally and sustainably. Soaring Heart works closely with all of their suppliers, getting to know them and their product, collaborating so they can meet and exceed their exacting standards. All Soaring Heart organic mattresses, futons, and shikibutons fully meet federal flame retardant guidelines (1632 and 1633) and pass all requisite tests without the use of any synthetic or chemical fire retardants whatsoever, including PBDEs or boric acid powder. They are comprised of just organic cotton, latex, and wool.
Please note that latex mattresses require a slat-style bed frame, rather than a traditional box spring set-up. Warranties on all latex mattresses are contingent upon having a slat-style bed frame.
