Futons
Futons with cotton, wool, and latex fills on solid-wood frames.
Futons combine mattress and seating functions and remain in prolonged contact. Synthetic fills and composite frames can off-gas. Cotton, wool, and latex fills on solid-wood frames keep the materials consistent with lower-chemical bedding standards.
