About Futon d’or
At Futon d’or, comfort is not just a product—it’s a legacy. For over two generations, our family has been dedicated to creating sleep solutions that are as beneficial for the planet as they are for your well-being.
It all began in the vibrant heart of Montreal in the early 1980s, a time when the futon was a revolutionary concept, a breath of fresh air in the world of sleep.
Back then, our humble beginnings took root in a small workshop on Beaubien Street. We were pioneers, handcrafting simple futon mattresses right in the store. The air was filled with the scent of natural fibers, the rhythmic hum of the sewing machine, and the excitement of creating something truly unique. Seeing the joy of customers discovering comfort in our handmade creations ignited a passion that continues to drive us today.
As futons grew in popularity, so did our commitment to quality. We embraced innovation, introducing wooden frames to elevate the futon experience and transform it into the beloved piece of furniture we know today. We carefully selected the finest materials, ensuring that each futon was not only comfortable but also built to last.
Today, Futon d’or is a beacon of comfort and sustainability. We meticulously choose eco-friendly materials, prioritizing natural and organic options such as high-density foam, latex, wool, and recycled polyester. We believe in creating products that are gentle on the planet and promote a healthier sleep environment.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our products—we strive to minimize our environmental footprint in every aspect of our operations, from responsible sourcing to sustainable packaging.
Through our in-house brand, Boréal, we have taken our commitment to comfort and sustainability even further. Boréal was born from a desire to create mattresses and futons that combine artisanal craftsmanship with responsible materials. Originally based in Gatineau, the Boréal factory was relocated to Montreal in 2017, marking a pivotal step toward bringing production closer to our community and strengthening our quality control.
With Boréal, we offer a collection of mattresses, futons, and other sleep products made from carefully selected materials to ensure a healthy and restorative sleep. Whether it’s natural latex mattresses, high-density foam, or handcrafted futons, each Boréal product reflects our dedication to quality and eco-responsibility. By choosing Boréal, our customers are investing in locally crafted, long-lasting products that are designed with both comfort and the environment in mind.
Futon d’or is more than just a business—it’s a family. We cherish the relationships we have built with our dedicated team, like Sharon, our talented seamstress, who has been with us for over 25 years, bringing her artistry and care to every creation.
Arthur, our seasoned delivery driver, embodies the spirit of our family business—experienced, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a seamless and enjoyable customer experience.
Since taking the helm of Futon d’or, Jean-Sébastien and Christian (the second generation of owners) have brought fresh energy to the company while preserving its essence: a deep-rooted family spirit. Here, every employee is more than just a colleague—they are embraced as part of a close-knit family.
This philosophy is reflected in an open-minded and deeply respectful approach to people. Regardless of their background or personality, everyone is welcomed as they are—with kindness and without judgment. This unique atmosphere fosters long-term commitment, with employees staying at Futon d’or for many years, building strong and lasting bonds. Even after moving on, the family spirit remains: a group chat keeps former employees connected with the team, a testament to the genuine attachment they feel toward the company.
Jean-Sébastien and Christian firmly believe that a company’s success is rooted in the well-being of its team.
They cultivate a warm and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and encouraged to grow.
We believe that true comfort goes beyond a good night’s sleep. It’s about creating a welcoming space where customers feel valued and understood.
