Well, its not often we can write anything about the sunshine in the UK but May and June have been glorious and I'm sure many people, like us, have been heading outdoors to eat, chat and spend time with friends and family.


We've taken this opportunity to set up a cosy seating area originally for a 21st Birthday party but it has since 'stayed put' in the garden for us all to enjoy.


I wouldn't normally recommend using futon mattresses outside as they tend to be quite absorbent with damp and moisture but with the present sunshine and providing you are not too precious over them getting marked they do make amazingly comfortable outdoor loungers / seating....have a nose at these pics...





Futon Mattresses at Futons247 in London and the UK
One of the questions we regularly get asked by our customers is "do you have a traditional futon bed roll that can be used everyday?"

Well, our popular Monk Futon has been used in this way by some customers over the last 10 years or so but now we've also developed our Nomad Futon Bed Roll, a traditional style roll up futon mattress with a firm feel. The Nomad is based around a central core of Cocoloc, this is a natural filling consisting of coconut fibres that are given structure and elasticity by way of a natural latex (from rubberwood trees) spray to bond them together, this provides a firm but flexible and well ventilated basis for the bed roll.

We then offer a choice of surrounding fillings, two different grades of pure wools combined with either traditional futon felt for a firm feel or a warm and softer feel of fine wool, blended with a small amount of polyester to bond the wool fibres together.

You can use the Nomad unrolled directly on to your floor and then simply roll it up during the day and secure with the two Velcro fasten straps that come with it.

The Nomad is available in a standard double bed size of 137 cm / 4ft6ins by 190 cm / 6ft3ins in a choice of three cotton drill fabrics, all traditionally tufted through
with felt mattress tufts.

You can find full details of the Nomad by visiting our website following the link below.




Having just returned from the IMM furniture show in Germany I'm pleased to see that the Europeans have not lost the 'fun' in futons. This lovely compact chair / bed the 'Buckle Up' converts quickly and easily from a comfy chair to a futon bed perfect for guests.

Sadly we can't get these in the UK yet as the fire regulations prevent furniture coming in from Europe.....I know, daft isn't it!!
