How to Fluff a Futon Mattress
A futon, which is the Japanese word for "bed," is a favorite furniture item used for sleeping and sitting. Futons are usually filled with cotton or foam. Because of their inner material and because they are used for sleeping and sitting on, futons have a tendency to develop dips in their surface. Not only are these dips unsightly, but they are also uncomfortable and may cause back or leg troubles for users. With regular rotation and fluffing, a futon can retain its cosmetic and functional appeal. Does this Spark an idea?
