The mattress is from Rocky Mountain Futon.  It's a top of the line, 8 inch
thick (6" cotton with a 2" foam slab sandwiched in the middle, making it
firm but not rock-hard) California King (extra long).  This mattress is
filled with 'garneted' cotton, which means that the fibers have been
slightly felted or woven together which prevents the material from
piling-up into lumps. Garneted cotten mattresses are quite difficult to
find and fetch a premium price! The mattress cover is a 'natural'
unbleached color and still in very good condition (it's *completely*
stain-free, and in 'as new' condition).  This is highest quality,
'hypo-allergenic' bedding.

It is a futon bed and *not* a futon 'sofa-bed'.  The pedestal base is
professionally made, custom natural (unstained)  hand-rubbed Danish oil
finished oak plywood (about 12 inches high) which supports a platform made
from poplar slats (which are somewhat springy)  that are mounted within a
dark solid walnut frame (imagine a walnut picture frame containing poplar
slats laid down flat onto an oak pedestal base, and you've got it).  Very
sharp looking!  The platform measures approximately 84 x 74 inches and
*cannot* be disassembled -- it only weighs about 25-30 lbs, but can be a
problem to move up/down narrow stairwells.  I just wanted you to know that
ahead of time :]

Price: $250 for both.  The mattress alone cost $500 new.
