Enjoy peace of mind knowing your mattress is protected from liquid spills, urine, dust mites and allergens by applying a Luna Mattress Protector. Luna Premium American Made waterproof mattress protectors are of the highest quality and carry a full replacement 10 year warranty. As many have found out, once an unprotected mattress is soiled by fluids, it's nearly impossible to fully remove. A soiled mattress can result in an unsanitary environment for you and your family and may even ruin your mattress altogether. If liquids are ever spilled onto the mattress, simply remove the protector and place directly into the washing machine. Luna premium mattress protectors are also a must have for those suffering from allergy triggers such as pollen, mold, dust mites and fungus. Luna protectors prevent allergy triggers from passing through the membrane material while still allowing the mattress to breathe. Periodically wash the mattress protector, like you would your sheets, and you'll be able to effectively remove allergy causing triggers that may be resting on the surface of the protector. Luna mattress protectors work by using premium cotton terry bonded with a hypoallergenic waterproof membrane base layer. To enable the mattress to still breathe, Luna utilizes an exclusive Airflow Technology made up of proprietary microscopic pores in the membrane layer. These pores allow air to pass through while preventing liquids and dust mites from penetrating. The protector's ability to breathe extends the life of the mattress and also works to control temperature preventing our protectors from sleeping hot. Fitted sheet style elastic sides are then attached making it a perfect fit for any mattress profile. As mentioned above, all Luna products are exclusively made in the USA and contain no PVC's or phthalates.

Our basic futon delivers on a promise of solid value and proven comfort. This basic futon is constructed with five comfort layers to provide a good basic comfort foundation to your futon frame.


There was a time when they didn’t measure quite the same, but this changed when the big names in the mattress industry got into making futons as well.  Once they moved more into the Western market, making futon beds in standard sizes just makes the whole process easier.  It is easier to utilized existing machinery and easier to wrap and ship with the same size boxes.  It is also beneficial to the end consumer as we can then find sheets much more easily.  In fact, you can just use your existing sheets in most cases.

The only time you’ll run into problems is if you have much older sheets.  The problem with a futon – if you can call it that – is that the corners are more rounded than a traditional mattress.  The thickness of a futon varies, but can range from 6” to close to 10”.  This trend to have thicker mattresses is not just with the futon.  In fact, some mattresses on more conventional frames are now trending into the 20-22” size.  This requires special deep pocket sheets, as they’re called,  just to get a proper fit.  You shouldn’t find this issue with your futon, however.

If you’re just browsing around getting a feel for what is available in futons, just know that the numbers listed are not always completely accurate.  While this article can’t reference each brand name and the ‘actual’ versus the ‘quoted’ sizes, it is wise to know that there is a discrepancy at times.  You’ll find more out about this if you read any reviews on sites like Amazon or others concerning the products you’re interested in.  In terms of futon mattresses, the site might say that their mattress is 8” thick and people write a review saying the quality was great and the shipping was quick, but the mattress can’t be more than 6” thick.  Beware of this as you search for your next futon.
