The category of futon mattresses emerged in the late sixties and early seventies when the all cotton futon mattresses were all you could find. Today most manufacturers of futon mattresses will tell you that the cotton and foam futon mattresses (in some configuration) are the best (unit volume) selling product in the market. Another trend has also emerged. Many companies are now making futon mattresses that are softer to the feel, plusher to sit on, premium futon mattresses. These products are offered at several higher price points. These configurations of futon mattresses are targeted to the main stream consumer and the conventional furniture stores they shop in. The dealers and consumers understand this product better because it offers a look and feel they are more accustomed to. “It just feels right,” is an advantage when making the decision to buy a sofa or sofa bed. The innerspring futon mattresses made today are also now a regular part of most manufacturer’s lines. Still available are a number of hybrid futon mattresses which take their positions alongside the cotton and foam variations and the 100% cotton futon. Cotton and wool futons, futons with a tape edge (like conventional mattresses), and futon mattresses encased in solid color, upholstery, and designer print fabrics.
