WOOL AND COTTON
|
FOAM,
SYNTHETIC FIBERS,
AND INNERSPRINGS
|
|
Cotton and wool offer "breathability" allowing perspiration to be drawn
away from the skin, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.
|
Foam and synthetic fibers in futons act as a moisture barrier,
holding perspiration next to your body.
|
|
Wool consistently recovers 95% of its original thickness.
|
Synthetic fibers recover only about 70% of their original
thickness after repeated compressions.
|
|
No off-gassing!!
|
Foam off-gases formaldehyde.
|
|
Wool and cotton do not disintegrate, ensuring a durable futon.
|
Foam will dry and crumble, creating foam dust,
which you breathe while sleeping.
|
|
Natural fibers blend together, with no friction.
|
Foam abrades against cotton, forming little balls, which
become very noticeable as you try to sleep.
|
In a Small Wonders futon the wool acts like springs.
Also, wool is more comfortable, more durable and more natural.
|
Metal springs will develop permanent sag.
Metal springs are for mattresses, trucks and wind-up toys,
not futons.
