The cushions are elegant and soft, and you can tell they're handmade, using high-quality materials. I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

Nice

so thoughtfully packaged and well made. smelled amazing too! i'm loving sleeping on it so far

Fabriqué à la main à Kyoto, livraison rapide, et même un petit mot écrit à la main. Le futon est incroyablement confortable et le tissu de toute beauté. Merci.

I bought this mattress hoping it would improve my back pain and while it didn't do that it has done WONDERS for my sleep.

On a traditional western box spring mattress I was often waking multiple times a night and I would wake up feeling more tired than when I went to bed the night before.

After a 1 week adjustment period I have never consistently slept so well.

Adjustment period wasn't bad either. I would wake up with my muscles feeling a little sore as I adjustes to sleeping on the floor. It felt equivalent to a light workout. I kept at it since my sleep immediately improved, even if my body felt small aches. The aches also went away each morning after about 10 minutes.

If you are on the fence this is the best way to try out a shikifuton! The price was extremely competitive and the product quality is extremely high.

​I am so incredibly happy with my Shiki Futon and the Aizome-fu cover. The quality of the materials and the stitching is perfect, and you can feel the care that went into making it by hand.
​It is the foundation of my new sleep system, and it's both beautiful and very comfortable. The Aizome-fu fabric is stunning.
​Thank you so much to the Takaokaya team for your wonderful customer service and for sharing your craft. I will be using this for many years to come.

It was a long road to get this futon, all the way to Florida USA but it was the best decision I ever made. The quality is top notch, the stitching is perfect and the colors are beautiful, it is soft but easy to move and pick up. the sheet I bought is beautiful and I feel so dreamy when I look at it and the material is thick quality. The customer service is the best I ever had, many emails, they are very patient with many questions. the shipping price is worth every penny. you won't get a better futon anywhere. thank you so much, I will be buying again.

Thank you very much

As always beautiful fabrics and excellent craftsmanship! Thank you

We recently bought quite a few pillows from Takaokaya, and we are absolutely thrilled with both the products and the people behind them! From the very first contact, their wonderful team went above and beyond to help us. They expedited our order, and carefully prepared the packaging so we could take everything as checked-in luggage — something that wouldn’t have been possible without their support.

And the pillows themselves… what can we say? Every single one feels special.

Thank you so much, Takaokaya — for your care, your kindness, and your amazing work!

I am absolutely thrilled with my Takaokaya futon! The quality and craftsmanship are truly outstanding—it is clearly a very well-made product, reflecting superior Japanese dedication to detail.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the logistics; it shipped and arrived quickly all the way from Japan.
But the real test is the sleep itself: this futon is incredibly comfortable. We use it in our guestroom, and every single person who has stayed with us has been amazed and loved sleeping on it! It's the perfect combination of traditional design and modern comfort. Highly, highly recommended!

Kake Futon Comforter Cover

I was gladly surprised that the Shiki Futon is so soft - I had thought it would not be so fluffly on the inside.
Upon opening it, there was an incredible excitement and one very nice detail to me was that it had a lovely smell, sort of like hay or that it had been in a nice comfy barn for a while.
Anyway. We received our futon about a week ago and I can start to say that my back is finally slowly getting used to it. I have been eager to transition form our way too old couch to something natural and luckily I found this shop. You have the kindest customer service people. I found it beautiful that the futon had a tag on it with signatures from all workers who had crafted the mattress. How good to get a sense of that.
Thank you, Valery, for the lovely personal note! We thank every worker who made our lovely new bed!

Excellent high quality product! I don’t remember the last time I’ve slept this well and I was hoping it would improve my sleep. It definitely has! I’m 29 and my mum is 65 who also bought one and is sleeping comfortably too. We both LOVE it!! Very grounding, very comfortable, easier to maintain than previous western mattress, I won’t be going back!

Also very efficient and kind customer service with fast shipping to Australia!

Thank you so much Takaokaya :)

It took a long time to come and the shipping was more costly than anticipated- but the cushion itself is very beautiful and beautifully constructed. Worth it.
