Both the wool and cotton futon sold are made from natural materials. the organic cotton used for the filling in all the cotton futon is grown with great care from the environment and the workers who farm the land. At the end of the life cylce of the futon the cotton can be taken and out and reused for other applications or even put straight on the compost to return to the soil. The wool for the wool futons is reared in our very own UK countryside and again at the end of its life cycle the wool can be either reused for other applications or returned to the earth. No need for more landfill!
