What to Expect from the Gold Bond All-Cotton Twin Futon Mattress





Gold Bond is a highly respected name in the futon mattress market, but one of its futon mattress offers, the all-cotton twin sized 4-inch futon mattress, is not a testimony of its expertise. This mattress is an entry level futon mattress. This may seem like a good choice for those who prefer an all cotton construction and needs a budget-friendly item. But before buying a cotton futon mattress, make sure you know what you're in for.
Cotton isn't exactly the most durable and resilient material to use in a mattress. It is great for adding extra comfort layers, but a full cotton core for a mattress? Not the best idea, especially for mattresses that you are going to use a lot.
As for the Gold Bond all cotton, it is perfect proof of why cotton may not be the recommended material for a futon mattress.
Pros:
· Very comfortable
· Very affordable
· Cotton construction is very soft and pure
Cons:
· Not the most durable
· Can develop lumps after some time
· Cannot withstand wear and tear
· Should not be used as a regular daily use futon bed

Smart Consumer Tip: More recommended options from Gold Bond is the Euro Coil, which uses coil springs as the core, or the single foam or double foam core mattresses which uses durable foam core wrapped in cotton comfort layers.
