Is the Nova a mattress or a futon pad?

It is a futon pad, thinner than a standard mattress. It is designed to sit on a futon frame or platform bed, not directly on a box spring or the floor.

Is it good for side sleepers?

Usually not. Latex this firm can feel hard on shoulders and hips, so side sleepers often need a softer topper or a different model.

What sizes are available?

This listing is the Full size. The Futon Shop offers other sizes and thicknesses in its latex line, so check the specific model before ordering.

How long does a latex futon pad last?

Latex generally outlasts polyurethane foam, often eight to ten years or more with regular rotation. The cover and frame condition affect how long it stays comfortable.

When is the best time to buy?

The Futon Shop runs sales around holidays and end of season. Compare the current price against its recent range before ordering, since list prices move with promotions.

Our take on the The Futon Shop Nova Chemical Free Latex Mattress

The Futon Shop Nova is a handcrafted, GOTS-certified organic latex futon pad made without chemical flame retardants, glues or synthetic foams. It is a pad, not a full mattress, so it needs a platform bed or futon frame and is thinner and firmer than a conventional innerspring or hybrid mattress. It suits shoppers avoiding off-gassing and synthetic materials more than anyone wanting a plush pillow-top feel.
