Organic • Natural and Pure Because it’s better for the planet. Organic farming is a healthier, more sustainable way of producing vegetables and fibers. Organic methods focus on soil health, replenishing soil fertility, promote bio diversity, and protect our air, water, soils and wildlife from toxic chemicals. Organic farming is also a powerful tool in the fight against global warming. It reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and stores carbon in the soil, where it boosts soil fertility instead of releasing it to the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas. Organic farming just makes sense—for people and for the planet. Try our Egyptian Cotton Futon Collection, premium quality futons made with Staple Egyptian, Recycled, or Organic Cottons. Make sure your futons are made with the highest quality cotton with the least environmental impact. For your new baby protect them with love and our, crib futons and crib futons with latex.

Wool • Latex save our planet Wool has filled our lives with comfort and warmth for thousands of years. Today the bedroom is much more than a place for sleeping. It is a quiet haven. A retreat from the stresses of day to day life. When we are surrounded by the natural luxury of pure new wool, its remarkable strength and softness give strong feelings of safety and security. Wool provides us with a personal environment that is health-enhancing because it is a natural fiber. Wool disperses moisture from our skin, provides even warmth and body temperature, resists flame and static electricity and helps to reduce the stressful noise levels that surround us every day. And yet, while we have been living with the qualities of wool throughout the ages, wool is also a fiber for the future. Regardless of the advances mankind makes in the creation of new synthetics, technology will never recreate the comfort, strength, softness and security only wool can offer. You will love our warm and cozy Essence collection of futons and futon mattresses with or without latex.

So what is the difference between a tradition mattress and our mattresses• Nothing except Health, Comfort and a Better Planet.

First and foremost every futon sofa bed frame that we sell at the futon shop is Eco-friendly and made from plantation and reforested wood. We have certification from all our hardwood futon frame manufacturers and you can rely on our commitment to protect our planet and our future. Together we can make a difference. From our solid oak futon frames to our sofa bed loveseats and wall-hugging sofa sleepers we are committed to the quality workmanship and long life of all our sofa beds.

Your first thought probably is what is a Wall-Hugger futon frame? A Wall-Hugger is a type of futon frame that does not require the frame to be moved away from the wall in order to convert the frame. Another name is zero tolerance futon.

We sell two different collections of true Wall-Hugger futon sofa beds. This important feature allows you to convert the frame from sofa to bed without moving it from the wall. Our Signature Collection of frames has a finished back and this sofa bed remains in place when the frame is unfolded into a bed. Our Carriage Collection of Wall-Hugger sofa sleepers incorporate unique designs with exciting finishes like a completely finished back that looks beautiful from any view and with our patented front-loading mechanism.

Why is this a big deal? Well for one, the frame and quality mattress may weigh over 300 pounds. Who wants to move something this heavy just to go to bed or worse yet have to call your neighbor to come over and help you move it. We offer Strata futon sofa bed frames that are the only sofa bed piece of furniture that makes a true Wall-Hugger zero tolerance futon. Place the frame next to the wall and the front-loading mechanism allows you to convert the frame from sofa to bed quickly and easily.

Another great advantage is that an uninformed guest trying to convert a typical frame will scratch and dent your walls. As we say at Strata: Are Your Walls Safe?

Strata Furniture has a patented front-loading Wall-Hugger mechanism. One of the reasons you purchase a futon is to have the versatility of a sofa and a bed. Why not buy one that is the easiest and quickest to convert from sofa to bed. Our Wall-Hugger futon frames are built at a quality manufacturing facility according to rigid standards and quality control procedures. We expect each product to not only look great and operate smoothly, but also to he extremely well built and to last. Many companies cut back on the strength and construction of their frame bodies because the mattress hides the bodies. The problem is that wear and tear will eventually cause problems. Our futon frames from Strata Furniture uses thicker stretchers and reinforced slats to insure durability and also comfort by supporting the mattress. Shop and compare the mechanism as well as the design and we are sure you will agree the small extra cost is worth the benefits.
