Cotton Cloud Natural Beds & Furniture

Locally handcrafted. Not just futons! We’ve been making mattresses and bedding out of natural and organic materials including latex, locally farmed wool and organic cotton since 1981. We also carry unique home accessories; such as lamps and rugs made out of natural fibers. Our manufacturing warehouse is located in NW Portland where we operate a fiber mill that processes our cotton and wool for mattresses, toppers, pillows and duvets sold locally and nationwide. We also carry a line of innerspring mattresses that are not chemically treated and sustainable hardwood furniture including platform bed frames, folding futon frames, bunk beds, dressers, nightstands, bookcases and more. We can custom make mattresses and pillows to just about any size for your RV or make custom cushions for your window seat and have the largest selection of futon covers in town. You eat organic, why not sleep organic?

Cotton Cloud Futons was started in 1981, and has always been a labor of love. Ever since I can remember, I have had a very close connection to nature, and a deep respect for the planet with which we’ve all been entrusted. By chance, I took a class on futon-making, and from that moment on, it was clear to me that making beds out of cotton provided the perfect synergy of art, craft, and mindfulness for the Earth. At first, I was living in a little farm house out in the woods, making covers on a treadle sewing machine and building each mattress by hand. The whole experience was very zen, and it gave me the chance to brainstorm and try different combinations of materials and construction methods. Over 30 years later all Cotton Cloud futons are still made by hand, with an emphasis on natural materials and attention to detail. My commitment to the planet and my close connection to my community are still as strong as ever and I look forward to continuing this work for years to come.

Business Owner
I started Cotton Cloud Futons in 1981, when I was 17 years old. I guess two driving forces combined to inspire me to start on a journey that, 26 years later, is going stronger than ever: my parents. My mom was always a Do-It-Yourself type of woman; it was the 70s, and women were coming into their own power. She was also the single mother of two kids, and had to get inventive to make ends meet. My dad was also very creative and encouraged me to always examine the world around me and talk about what I saw. Their support of my creativity and my own way of looking at the world gave me the foundation I needed to begin the adventure that would one day be Cotton Cloud Futons. I’m proud to say that we strive to work in synergy with our earth and consciously emphasize products that are made of natural materials, with renewable resources that are harvested in sustainable ways. I look forward to continuing this work, and making these connections, for many years to come.
