Mwahaha, now I have the secrets required to build my own futon, start a nationwide chain of stores and destroy the puny competition. All thanks to Tom at Futon Favorite in Phoenix, Arizona. Actually, Futon Favorite custom-made our new futon mattress to my specifications – what a treat. We started with a six-inch layer of latex, wrapped that with multiple layers of cotton, threw on a thick layer of wool, which allows our futon to be fireproof and not have to be treated with boric acid. Finally, it was all wrapped up and sewn into a cotton cover. Tom was hundreds of dollars cheaper than anyone else I could find who was selling healthy futons. Now, a month after sleeping on our new mattress, all I can say is, WOW! We love our new bed. Ok, Tom, this was my pitch for your store – Futon Favorite at 509 E. Camelback Road with the toll-free number: 1-888-763-8866 his website is at www.futonfavorite.com – now what kind of discount are you going to give me on those Tatami Rice Mats?
