About a month ago now, I purchased the Luxury Wool Bed Mattress. It's easily been the best mattress I've slept on in a very long time. Beats any of the pocket sprung efforts that I've subjected myself to in the past. If you follow the advice and do some regular flipping, the mattress will settle to be the perfect bed without a doubt; soft yet firm and supportive. 10/10 goes to the owner of the company too, whom called me to let me know the mattress was about to made but we ended up in a full on chat. Top bloke.

Pleasure to deal with this company. Very personal, knowledgeable and super friendly. Bought the stacking beds with authentic cotton mattresses, tried the beds for a few nights before my guests came, and did not want to move back to my own bed! I have now bought the cottage bed with same mattress for myself, plus the Richmond upholstered sofa bed, which is super comfy and so easy to move from sofa to bed. Can highly recommend.

We're really delighted with our new Carlisle futon. The quality is excellent. It's extremely comfortable and was easy to assemble too! Perfect for our spare bedroom / home office. Funky Futon kept us advised of when delivery would be made, which made the customer experience a very pleasant one. Very highly recommended!

Excellent customer service from Andrew and Jess. Andrew advised me on the different mattresses they offer and found me the best one to suit my comfort needs and budget. Delivery was quick and I am extremely happy with the quality of my mattress and service received. Will definitely recommend to others!

I've bought tri fold plus wool futon mattress as a replacement of our previous futon (other brand) for the guest room. We have been doing some home improvements, so we used the guest room for a couple of weeks in December. This gave me the opportunity to try it. Firstly, the smell of the futon is unpleasant and very strong. It's something I haven't experienced before - kind of a mixture of horse stable and parsnip?
It has slightly improved with time, although I can smell it every time I enter the room (it's February now). The mattress is extremely uncomfortable and a slim person can feel the slats of the bed through it (I'm 61kg). It sinks under the average human weight, therefore I would not allow my guests (especially my elderly parents) to sleep on it when they come to visit us.
I didn't suffer from back pain until I tried the futon and my back still hurts despite slipping on a regular expensive bed mattress. I have contacted the company hoping that they would at least provide some solution to our problem. They've said that the futon is not for everyday use. That's not helpful. We used it for less than 2 weeks ONLY! I work as a physiotherapist and I'm fit, strong and have always looked after my back.
Nevertheless this futon has somehow triggered my back pain. I can only say that we are very disappointed with the product and the customer care service of this company. In my opinion that particular futon is not fit for purpose.

From our very first contact and endless list of questions to having problems with assembly (entirely our ineptness) we found dealing with Funky Futon an absolute pleasure. You don't often receive service like this so, when things don't go quite as expected it's great to know that people in business can patiently give their time to the customer. A real and pleasurable shopping / construction experience. Thanks to Mark and Andrew for their long suffering and professional manner.

We have just had a new Richmond sofa bed made to replace a 25 year old Funky Futon and we are delighted with it. We thought that the original design was good but the improvements in the design and mattress quality make it more comfortable and easier to use. We went for the upgraded mattress which is great and the Aquaclean fabric is good quality. This sofa is better quality and cheaper than many of the mainstream sofa beds that we saw in furniture showrooms, plus it is a full 4'6 double. The fantastic service from Andrew and the rest of the team made the whole buying experience really easy.

Bought a small double futon sofa bed in June: great service and excellent quality. Every guest who has used it comments on how comfy the memory foam mattress is. The drawer base stores most of the bedding so. it's a real space saver design too. Love the burnt orange fabric and it cleans easily too. Can't recommend the company highly enough. And it's well worth paying for it to be built on delivery too.

UPDATE: 27.09.21 Even more excellent customer service from this company. I had an usual request and they went away, considered it (coming back to me when they said they would), and not only had they managed to do it, but it looks spot on! I can't recommend Funky Futon Company highly enough. Brilliant customer service and high quality, well built products.
I wouldn't go anywhere else if I can purchase what I'm looking for from here. ORIGINAL REVIEW: We've purchased quite a few items from Funky Futon over the years and it's great being able to support a local business. All of the items we've bought have been of a high quality and the mattresses are firm but so comfortable! There are a number of options that you can choose to suit your needs and customer service is brilliant.
If they don't do exactly what you are looking for they are willing to explore options to provide what you need. I would highly recommend Funky Futon and we will carrying on using them as the need arises.

Great advice, great service and most importantly, a great sofa bed! I wanted to turn our spare bedroom into my music room. So to have a good looking, comfortable, armless sofa that I can sit (sprawl) on while playing guitar and fiddling with amp and laptop is essential, as is having a really comfortable bed. We bought the Shipley sofa bed -. standard double, memory flex mattress and Woolsafe cover.
This excels on all counts. When I was starting to look I gave Funky Futon a call. Super helpful and I was steered away from a more expensive option to the Shipley. I explained we would need it by Easter, less than 2 weeks away so I was on the phone as Mark walked through the stockroom.

Having purchased a Futon Company chair and matching footstool on eBay without the futon cushions I struggled to find replacement cushions for the lovely wooden framed pieces of furniture. Eventually I found Funky Futons and after sharing photos of the frames I was quoted for a bespoke job to complete the furniture package I desired. I chose my preferred material and colour and 3 weeks later they were delivered by a member of the team.
I am extremely pleased with the quality and attention to detail of the cushions. I now have a funky looking armchair and footstool that folds out to a 3 foot wide comfort bed. Thank you Funky Futons.

I have had the Kent Futon for just over a month now and I can truly say what a brilliant investment this sofa bed is. The bed has been used for a couple nights sleep in a row at a time and my guests are more than happy with the comfort and quality. Inbetween sleep use, the sofa aspect of the product is second to none - extremely comfortable and offers the right support. Clunk free - squeak free and a overall brilliantly made piece of furniture.
We opted for a delivery with assembly service which was stress free and very efficient. Cannot recommend this company and product enough. Will be signing your praises to anyone after a sofa bed - thanks so much and we will definitely be coming back for another purchase in the future!

Really impressed with this company. After being let down on an order from Dunelm I searched for another company. Loved the variety of sofabeds and the choice of woods, mattresses and fabrics they offered. Spoke to Andrew who was so helpful. Lovely to speak to a person who actually knows about the products. Rare, these days. Sofabed speedily delivered to me and assembled by a great couple of lads - thanks . Kent sofabed (small double) is very good quality at a reasonable price and so easy to convert from sofa to bed and back again. Really pleased and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

The sofa bed you supplied was amazing, so comfortable and well manufactured, unlike competitors the assembly is minimal and the quality is first class. In this difficult time it is also pleasing to deal with companies that really care about their customers and take the time to help them out. I cant recommend you enough and if you are looking at cheaper imports i strongly suggest saving up just a little more and buying something that is going to last and be comfortable for years.

I've had a selection of futons and replacement mattresses over the last 16+yrs from this company. Fantastic service, and superb quality futons. Not like the basic cheap ones available everywhere- these provide excellent sleep and use as a regular bed. Better than most traditional spring mattresses. Customer service is also what more companies should aspire to- these guys are helpful, polite and worthy of repeat business and recommendations.
