Customers frequently praise the incredible comfort and high quality of the futons and mattresses, explaining that these items provide wonderful support for daily sleep. Shoppers also appreciate the friendly customer service team and the smooth, prompt delivery process that makes ordering entirely straightforward.

Nice mattress & dependable service

I am quite pleased with the "Cottonsafe Chemical Free Cocoloc Futon Mattress - Firm." It has been used for a couple of months now.
I was expecting it to be a tad firmer, so mattress firmness always seems a bit like clothe sizes -- you never really know if it's going to suit you until you try it! Overall quite satisfied.
I hope the mattress will keep its shape longer than a competitor futon mattress I had previously, as the latter began sagging in the middle after a year and a half. The bane of mattresses is to begin sagging in the middle after a while. I flip and/or rotate my new mattress from Futon 247 every 2-3 days so we will see if it helps with longevity.

Hi Ian
Thanks for your detailed review, this will hopefully be useful to future customers too. Futons to tend to firm up the more you use them as the fillings compress inside so, in my experience, you should find your Cocoloc futon becomes firmer with age.
Good to hear that you are flipping and rotating your futon too, great housekeeping and will make a difference to wear over the longer term.

We love our new futon. It has improved our sleep, and solved aches and pains we had for years using conventional mattresses.

Incredible experience all round

Incredible customer care, really amazing quality goods. I bought the tatami mat and a single futon. I have been blown away by the incredible quality of these items. I don’t think there is anything better on the market, they really are beautifully made. Also Peter helped me on multiple occasions with ordering, delivery and questions! He was so patient and very responsive. So 10/10 for the products and 10/10 for customer service. Also great to know that my purchase is supporting a UK based individual company that make beautiful goods.

I needed a futon at short notice

I needed a futon at short notice, researched the market and decided on Futons247 as the single width was good as was the general quality. Ordering was straightforward and delivery was on time. I learned more talking to the reception than I could find out online. I tried the futon out and it was very comfortable. Well done everyone involved.

A Very Happy Customer!

What can I say about futons247? This company is a shining example of what customer care should be! I asked a lot of questions via email before purchasing and all of them were answered promptly and efficiently by Peter every time, including on the day of delivery.
The futon itself is fantastic! I have been using futons since the 1980’s and this one (7 layer wool and cotton only) is the best one I have used.
In recent times I have tried other mattresses, everything from traditional coil springs to the memory foam type ones but after much disappointment (and back issues) I have returned to futons and I am so pleased that I have! Literally, overnight my back felt a lot better and now, nearly two weeks later, I feel nearly 100% again. If you have never used a futon, give it a few days to get used to it but after that you won’t look back! Thank you so much Futons247!

Our new futon gives a traditional luxury floor sleep

Our new futon is amazing - we have it on tatami mats and have added a woollen topper for supreme comfort - and we are sleeping so well. It is rolled up at weekends so we can enjoy the spacious feel to our one bedroom flat.
It really is the ultimate luxury floor sleep. Ordering and delivery also first class.

Very good quality and outstanding service

I ordered my futon a month ago. They answered all my questions and accommodated to my delivery requirements.
The futon arrived rolled and well protected. I've been sleeping incredibly well since the first night. The firmness of this mattress really benefits my back and I always wake up in the morning feeling well rested.
Good quality, natural, handmade futons. Very competitive prices and outstanding service.

Service with a smile

They were a bit overwhelmed with orders so it took a while to arrive but it was delivered at the agreed time and the lovely man carried it up several flights of stairs to my 2nd floor flat and still managed to smile when he got to the top! I'm very happy with it; simple to put together, works perfectly.

Wonderful customer service and such a…

Wonderful customer service and such a terrific futon. Thank you so much.

However, we were a wee bit fed up that the delivery company just left the futon at the front door, rather than ringing the doorbell!

This is nothing compared to the great nights' sleep we have and the support for our bodies.

I throughly recommend this company and the product.

Thank you.

Hi Stephanie
Thank you for your review and for your kind words regarding our products and company, it is appreciated.
We use a few different delivery companies depending on the size of the item and your location, I can see in your case it was DX Parcels. I can only apologise for the inconvenience with the delivery, on the whole DX are excellent at getting the item delivered on time but occasionally a driver may under pressure and this can lead to standards below what we would like our customers to experience so I am sorry this was the case in your situation.
I hope you continue to enjoy your new futon mattress.
Regards, Peter @ The Futon Shop

Very Good Product

Friendly efficient service, with clear communication about how the futon would be delivered. An excellent courier company delivered the goods.
The futon purchased is very comfortable and matches the description given on the website. It is clearly made of best quality materials and after using it about 6 weeks I have encountered no problems and experienced an improvement in sleep.
