With ten locations throughout California, the company has sold more than two million futon mattresses, sofa beds, and platform beds. All futon mattresses are made with domestically produced soy-based foam. Within the last couple of years, the Futon Shop’s line of futon mattresses -- made with soy-based foam – is one of the company’s biggest sellers.
The soy-based foam – Preserve -- is manufactured by Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company in North Carolina. “The Futon Shop uses only green materials such as soybean foam, organic cotton, double-tempered recycled steel, and chemical-free latex,” explains The Futon Shop Founder and CEO Suzanne Diamond. “We’re not only proud of our commitment to the environment, but our efforts to reduce dependence on foreign oil and support American jobs.” The United Soybean Board (USB) funded research that helped lead to the development of soy-based foam. The foam manufacturing process involves a reaction between petroleum-based polyols and other petro chemicals. Soy polyols can be substituted for a portion of petroleum polyols. Soy-based foam provides the same quality, comfort and durability as petroleum-based foam, with the added benefits of being made from a renewable resource and better for the environment. Diamond created the first hand-made Japanese style cotton futon in Boston as a student at the Boston Museum School of fine arts.
She was influenced by Michio Kushi, a Japanese natural healer who taught her the health benefits of sleeping on natural fibers instead of polyurethane foam, which is typically used in mattresses. / and check-out this video that aired on the television program America’s Heartland about Preserve soy-based foam: This case study is provided for information only.

How can USB help?Shane & Kristin Coker opened their first store in Austin on Burnet road in 1999. It was about one fifth the size it is now, and was originally called Beds, Beds & More. Charles Roberts worked in recycling (he ran the humongous recycling program for the Austin City Limits Festival for years & years!)
before he started with ANM. He & Shane were like brothers, and it wasn’t long before Charlie was running things at the Burnet road store! Folks took to the laid-back, purely Austin atmosphere… to owners in sandals, great Austin music, beautiful art on the walls by some of Austin’s greatest local artists, low prices, great customer service, and to the unpretentious store itself. Years later, after opening the sister store, The Futon Store Austin, fire retardant standards for mattresses in the US changed dramatically, becoming even more draconian than they had been before. A year later, Kristin became very ill as a result of chemical sensitivity (though they didn’t know that at first…prognoses like fibro myalgia, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, pituitary issues, etc were thrown around), a victim to our modern, toxic environment. The Cokers’ didn’t completely blame it on mattress fire retardants (though, to test out new mattresses to feel comfortable selling them to their customers, they did have new mattresses in the four bedrooms in their house about every four months, for years)…chemicals in food, carpet, paint, new cars, clothing, home accessories, baby clothing & products, etc, etc certainly contributed.
They decided to chem free their lifestyle, and when at furniture market in Las Vegas, they bought their first organic mattress for themselves. They also radically changed their diet, pulled all the carpet & pad out of their home, stopped using many plastics, etc, etc. Six months later, Kristin was back to normal, healthy, energetic, happy Kristin! At that point, and after doing much research into the toxic fire retardants that are used currently in the US mattress industry, Shane & Charles decided enough was enough. They no longer felt comfortable selling the poison that was non-natural mattresses to their customers. So they changed the name of the stores to Austin Natural Mattress, brought in natural & organic mattress lines, and never looked back! Years later, Austin Natural Mattress is very proud to employ many here in the Austin area! We are a locally owned company that stresses all natural and organic products at everyday affordable prices. We believe that just because we are offering our customers elite mattresses, doesn’t mean we have to do the same elite mark up the other sleep boutique stores do.
So even though we have grown and educated ourselves and our customers through the last 10-15 years on what’s good to sleep on, we still use the same business philosophy we began with long ago. Keep the mark-up low! If you buy a mattress from us and see it advertised locally within 30 days for a lower price, bring in the advertisement and we’ll refund the difference plus 10% of that difference. So far, nobody has been able to beat our prices, but it’s a standing offer.You have an entire 90 days to decide if your mattress or your purchase is right for you. There is no cost for exchange. Delivery services in Austin are FREE for many of our natural mattresses, and $69 for others anywhere in the Austin area. That includes installation, removal of your old mattress, and removal of all boxes and containers from your property. We offer same day delivery on all in-stock items! We have done work with multiple local charities (Helping Hands Home for Children, Partner in Literacy for Central Texas Schools, Friends of Oakalla Public Library, Jarrell Volunteer Fire Dept, etc) as well as the Make a Wish Foundation.
