Futon mattress maintenance
- A natural property of cotton is its ability to be compressed (within a margin of 1 to 2 cm). To restore the futon's original shape, it is best to roll and fold it in all directions at least 3 times a month. This distributes the cotton evenly across the entire mattress and prevents the filling from becoming uneven or sagging. In addition to rolling and folding, it is important to treat the edges of the mattress regularly. To do this, kneel around the entire edge of the futon while simultaneously tapping the filling inwards from the outside with your fists. By tapping firmly on the edges, you push the cotton that has shifted to the sides back towards the center of the mattress. This prevents the edges from becoming thinner while the center remains too thick, and helps the futon maintain its even shape.
