Non-profit
Throughout the last 40 years, The Futon Shop established the movement From Farm To Bedroom. This movement begins with local sourcing of farms producing USDA certified organic cotton and wool. The Futon Shop then processes the wool and organic cotton into felted bats (bundles) used as layers in each mattress or furniture cushion. The organic bats of cotton and wool are combined with natural Dunlop latex, pure coconut coir and double tempered steel micro-coils. The Futon Shop donates 1% of the purchase price, up to $5,000 per year, to the Breast Cancer Fund.
The Futon Shop maintains a partnership with Boarding For Breast Cancer where in 2015 they acted as a sponsor of the Boarding For Breast Cancer Check One, Two Campus Tour, a program that provide communication and education to college students on how to reduce breast cancer risk.
