BIOFUTON DW 6.1 - The Power-Futon
And how do you describe this powerhouse?
Basically, we have only made one modification to the Biofuton DW 6.0, which has resulted from experience: We have made this futon even stronger, consistently strong.
And does that make it firmer / harder?
No, you can't say that, "hard" is the wrong expression for quality mattresses like ours anyway. With this amount of powerful materials we get stability, and because that's so much more carrying capacity than most people know, some find it very solid or even 'hard', but terms like 'bulging' or 'strong' might be more appropriate. If it ends up being too tight, you can put on a light topper. This alternating layering of natural latex and horsehair creates a dynamic that is particularly beneficial to heavy people. But no matter what weight you lie on this futon, it feels "real".
... real?
Well, if I really want that typical futon feeling, i.e. quiet stability, calm, earthy lying, then the DW 6.1 offers this to me immediately, in the best possible way. And for everyone, regardless of weight. In addition, with 10 cm of natural latex, it ensures that this lying feeling is maintained for a very long time.
Is that the perfect natural mattress under the umbrella term 'futon'?
Well, we're very strict about that and not everything that's good is good for everyone, but with this futon we're pretty close. The same applies to the sister model DW 6.1 /sensitiv, for people with a gentle orientation or side sleepers.
This powerful, strong futon is for people from 50-150 kg, except sensitive side sleepers and for everyone a powerful futon experience.
Biofuton DW 6.1 is always made with edge / reversible handles.
A futon is felt differently depending on body weight:
- 50-70 kg: (soft to) medium
- 70-100 kg: medium firmness (optimal)
- 100-150 kg: increasingly firm
A quality mattress has its weight. Therefore, for large beds, we recommend using two single mattresses; except for beds without a frame. Due to the generous filling, there will be no gaps.
DW 6.1 can be placed on any surface, ideally on a strong slatted frame, like our slatted frames.
Every mattress should be turned to distribute wear evenly and increase its service life. It is best to turn futons when changing the bed linen in the beginning, and less often later on. This futon is so strong that many people hardly see any signs of wear, which means that it needs to be turned less often.
