7 QUITE SIMPLY BETTER

Since 1981, we have crafted natural fiber mattresses by hand ... one at a time. Using cotton, wool, and kapok, we have created beds, pillows, and couches that you will love as much as the Earth loves them. No questionable chemicals, more comfort, more respect for our planet. (And yes, a futon can go on any bed frame.) See futons made by hand in our New Brunswick, NJ workshop or visit our beautiful Princeton store.
