Mixed opinion

I liked the product. Delivery was swift and efficient. However the colour was completely different to the one I ordered, which was disappointing. I rang to discuss but got no response.

Professional service and quality comfy mattress so far

Ordered a single futon mattress for my oak bed frame. Due to personal circumstances, I had to upgrade it to double size futon mattress. I contacted the company two days after my initial order and they changed my order to double size futon mattress and I paid the extra cost on the phone. I spoke to a gentleman called Peter and he answered all my questions with professionalism. I received my futon mattress yesterday and slept on it for the first time last night. It was a comfortable sleep. So far every thing good, Though I will have a better opinion after using it for few months. I do recommend this company.

A Good Quality and Comfortable Futon

Our new Skandi futon looks lovely and has been a nice addition to our guest room. It was easy to put together and functions well. It is comfortable to sit on and is a good size. The quality is great too. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is because the natural colour looked more oatmeal on the colour chart whereas it's almost white in reality, which is lighter than we would have liked and it does mean that it will show any marks more easily.

Hi Joanna, thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're thrilled you love your Scandi futon, though we're also sorry that the colour isn't 100% what you wanted. If you order from us again at any point, we'd be happy to send fabric samples so we can make a perfect match next time!

A great place to find the right futon

Excellent advice from Futons 247 led us to choosing a futon and tatami mats that suit us perfectly. Replacing our bed with the right futon has improved the quality of our sleep and helped with my long term back problem. A great quality product, handmade by a small, friendly company who are great to deal with. I can highly recommend switching to a futon and these are the people to guide you through the process.

Good customer communication but not able to use

The communication and delivery were both excellent. Unfortunately, the cotton mattress caves in when in use and it is so hot, I couldn’t sleep. So it is now unused and occupies my room. Not sure what to do with it. Such a waste.

I was very well advised on the product…

I was very well advised on the product that most suited my needs. I then ordered the wrong size and they double checked with me and corrected my order !! The mattress arrived and I am very happy with it. If I need anything else futon related this will be my first ( and probably only) stop. I can't recommend them enough.

Tatami Mat Purchase Review

Tatami Mat Purchase Review

I’m genuinely impressed with my Tatami Mat purchase. From the moment I ordered, the communication was on point — clear, timely emails updating me on delivery times, no guessing, no chasing. That alone already set the tone.

When it arrived, the packaging was solid and secure. No dents, no damage, no loose corners — just neat, clean, and protected, exactly how you want something like this to turn up.

The mat itself is high-quality, firm yet comfortable, with that traditional feel that instantly grounds the room. Overall, smooth process, great service, and a product that actually lives up to the expectation. Would definitely recommend.
