This half-queen kapok futon (30″ x 80″) is standard on Carolina Morning’s Eco Sofa. It can be placed on top of two 30×40 Eco-Squares to make a single bed; or two of the half-queen futons can be placed together to make a queen bed.
Lining this kapok futon’s removable, washable 8 oz. organic cotton canvas cover is an eco-wool felted barrier fabric envelope. This wool layer provides fire retardance, moisture wicking, and temperature regulation. The eco-wool envelope is filled with kapok fiber that has been found to be free of chemical residues by third-party testing. Kapok is a soft, hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly fiber that comes from the seed pod of the kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra). It is grown without herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers because the tree and its fruit do well in poor soils and are not bothered by pests. The fiber is breathable, and it can be reused for generations without developing mold or decaying, though it will biodegrade outdoors over time. One of the few sustainable rain forest crops, Kapok has been a prized possession for centuries…used by gurus, saints and spiritual masters who marveled at its unique characteristics.
The futon will be firm and supportive after the filling settles down to a thickness of about 4 inches. Since the kapok filling is loose, it can be fluffed and redistributed to eliminate body impressions. And if the futon becomes too firm over the years, it can be easily refilled with new kapok fiber.
- Optional colorful organic cotton covers and matching pillows are available.
- Straps will be included with the purchase of two futons, to keep them together on a queen bedframe.
- Made-to-order in about 10 business days, though supply chain issues can cause delays.
- FREE SHIPPING in the continental USA from the factory in North Carolina.
