Is your child becoming more of a young adult these days? They'll probably enjoy sleeping on one of our 8" Cotton Futons!

Since bigger kids are naturally heavier than toddlers and sink more deeply into their beds, we recommend a slightly thicker bed setup than the one for younger children. We've found that 8 inches of cotton or 8 inches of cotton & wool does the trick perfectly.

Our 8" Cotton Futon option is about as classic as natural beds get - 8 inches of cross-layered cotton batting tufted inside an untreated 100% cotton case. It's a great choice for parents who want to keep a firm grip on their finances while still providing a natural sleeping environment for their kids.

For an additional layer of softness that won't break the bank entirely, the 8" Cotton & Wool option has an outer layer of soft, resilient EcoWool (a blend of wool that is 75% certified organic and 25% non-certified organic) which makes for a slightly cushier feel, improved air circulation and heat regulation, and an effective deterrent to dust mites.

Our standard cotton batting is conventionally grown, minimally processed, and lightly misted with mineral oil (to keep dust to a minimum) and boric acid powder (a natural mineral salt) which acts as a chemical free flame retardant.

Our organic cotton option is made with 100% organic cotton batting and 100% organic cotton fabric, neither of which contain mineral oil or boric acid powder.

Important note about organic cotton
mattresses:
***In order to comply with Federal law, we need to have a prescription from your physician (which includes the doctor's name, contact information, and license number) stating that you require a bed without any flame retardants before we can release an organic all-cotton bed to you. It's a strange loophole, but a necessary one. Please be prepared to provide us with that document when you purchase your bed. You may fax it to us or scan the original and email it to us, but we must have a visual representation of the document on file before we can let you take the futon home. The organic cotton futons with wool do not require a prescription.***
