If you are searching for a Vegan Futon-style Bed Mattress using natural fibres, our chemical-free Vegan Futomats are a perfect choice. As always in our Vegan products, no animal fibres, fire retardant chemicals or adhesives are used. They are also perfect for those with allergies (including allergy to wool) as they are highly breathable and hypoallergenic.
Using the same natural filling materials as our Cottonsafe® Futomats, our Vegan versions of these Futon-style Bed Mattresses are a good alternative for customers looking for a mattress with NO springs (excluding the Pocket Sprung version).
The Vegan Futomat ‘Purity’ cover material and fillings are 100% recyclable and are Stockholm Agreement Compliant.
A Vegan Futomat is bed mattress and not a futon for a seat in accordance with the UK Fire Regulations. They must pass different types of fire tests to be legal and safe. Our Vegan Futomats, therefore, are only sold as a bed mattress.
Being a solid fibre mattress, they are much firmer than traditional bed mattresses. Using polyester pom-poms to hold the fillings together, they have an even sleeping surface with a Quilted ‘Purity’ polyester outer cover. They have a European style with a zip around the mattress (for production purposes only). The cover cannot be removed.
Choose from different support levels: the Vegan Coir Futomat (firmest), Vegan TradLux Futomat (firm), Vegan Latex Futomat (medium) or Vegan Pocket-Sprung Futomat (softest).
What is the difference between a Vegan Futomat and a Cottonsafe® Futomat?
The difference is in the type of cover materials used. The Vegan Futomat uses our quilted ‘Purity’ polyester fabric and the Cottonsafe® Futomat has our patented Cottonsafe® fabric made from Organic Cotton and Wool. Other than that, they are the same construction. The filling options are the same and the price is the same. Unlike other futon manufacturers who claim their products are Vegan, we only use Cotton Rich felt in our Futomats as the recycled grey felts used by other futon manufacturers contain wool and other animal products (including adhesives).
How are Vegan Futomats different from our Vegan Adult Pocket Sprung Bed Mattresses?
Sleeping on a Futomat is a different experience to a traditional bed mattress. Vegan Futomats are a solid fibre mattress, constructed by layering natural materials. Whilst being a cheaper alternative to one of our Adult Pocket Sprung Bed Mattresses, they will be a firmer feel and settle as the air is expelled. Naturally, settlement of the fibres will occur in the areas you lie on – therefore its important not to sleep just on one part of the mattress. This is especially true if one person is sleeping in the middle of a double (4’6” or larger) mattress. A dip will be created – this is not a manufacturing fault.
Over time the settlement (up to 20%) will work across the whole of the mattress. It is essential to follow our Care Instructions by sleeping across the whole surface of the mattress, and by turning and rolling the mattress to help the settlement.
Our Vegan Futomats are thinner than one of our Vegan Adult Bed mattresses at approximately 6 inches or 15cm deep.
