The EcoSupport is The Futon Shop's answer to the main complaint about futons, that they feel fine as a sofa and poor as a bed. The maker puts a 2-inch layer of Dunlop latex on top of 733 individually pocketed 4-inch micro coils and surrounds both with 14 to 32 lbs of American virgin wool, depending on size. You choose the latex feel: plush at 23 to 27 ILD or medium firm at 28 to 33 ILD. The Futon Shop says the mattress is designed for everyday use on both slatted platform beds and sofa beds, which is exactly the claim a nightly futon sleeper needs. Short micro coils bend at the hinge better than full-height springs. The ticking is organic cotton, and a vegan version swaps the wool for organic cotton. The drawback is price: from $699.98 at 50% off when we checked, it is the second most expensive pick here. It is also made to order, and the comfort guarantee is a 30-day exchange rather than a refund.
