--- About Shiki Futon ---

ALL MADE BY HAND

why is our shiki futon so comfortable?

We place great emphasis on and take extreme care during the stuffing process because it determines the comfort level as well as the longevity of the finished products. Our craftsmen work meticulously to ensure that the futon can retain and maintain its shape and fluffiness with daily use. To make the futons, we use many layers of cotton filling, piling layer after layer to the center of the futon repeatedly. The watoji stitch is then used to secure the cotton filling in the place which also acts as decoration. Though the process is tedious, our craftsmen at Takaokaya, desire to create the most comfortable futons, so that our users can enjoy true relaxation for a good night’s rest. Every night, you will be smiling as you feel your body unwinding and melting away the stresses of the day when you lay down on your Takaokaya futon for the best sleep ever.

I'm so happy I finally decided to get a futon

I'm so happy I finally decided to get a futon. Never slept better! Shipment was very quick and the quality of the futon is outstanding. My pups love it too and they don't need to use stairs anymore!

Best experience ever!

Let me begin by expressing my love for Takaokaya as a company... The entire team is so wonderful!! I ordered a custom sized futon and cover set, and was extremely satisfied by the promptness and professionalism with which the individual I was corresponding with displayed. Alex was incredibly thorough, helpful, and expedient in helping me decide what I wanted.

I had wanted a shiki futon for some time, and purchasing one from Takaokaya has been such a great experience that I will happily repeat. After some research, I decided their futons were the most authentic and reliable over time. The cotton filing is so comfortable to sleep on, and I love my cover too. After sleeping on it for a month or so, I realized that it's hard for me to get comfy in traditional western beds anymore! I love how supported I feel sleeping on the ground, and it's so incredibly comfortable.

Buying the shiki futon cover set from Takaokaya has been one of the best decisions I've made recently. I highly recommend their products!

Hey Maddie! Thank you so much for the lovely review!
It is so great to hear how much you enjoyed your experience with us, and that the shiki futon is exceeding your expectations thus far!
I am so happy to have been able to guide you throughout the process of customizing your Kangu. We hope you enjoy it for many years to come, and we look forward to hearing from you again!
Happy Kutsurogi !!

Amazing products!

My husband and I are so happy that we bought the Japanese futon set. The quality and care that went into these products are just phenomenal. In a world where products are cheaply made, it is wonderful to see there are makers out there that truly care about creating a good product. I have been looking at their adorable origami style floor cushions...and those will definitely be my future purchases. This is such a great company.

Hi there, Sara!
Thank you, your words mean so much to us here!! We seriously appreciate it. We hold our crafting techniques close, and through them, we’re able to bring a wonderful relaxation experience to people around the world. And thank you for your interest in our Ojami cushions, we look forward to hearing from you again soon!!
Happy Kutsurogi^^

Plus, you hand written letter sent with the two futons was an appreciated kind thougth :)

Hi Louise!
Yay!! Thank you so much for the review and for sharing a photo! We're so happy to hear your new sleeping expereince with our shiki futon has been great thus far!! Wishing you a happy New Year and many more years of Kutsurogi to come!!

Authentic Comfort & Seamless Service!

I recently received my Shiki Futon, shipped directly from Japan, and the entire purchasing process was incredibly smooth and convenient. :D

The futon itself exceeded my expectations from the website photos. Upon unboxing, there was a slight scent, but after the traditional airing out in the sun—a simple, old-school step—it transformed.

The quality and feel are superb! it’s soft, supportive, and wonderfully comfortable to sleep on. This futon is a fantastic, versatile alternative to a standard mattress.

I am SO GLAD that the store offers international shipping! It truly allows the comforting culture of Japan to reach and warm hearts around the world. Highly recommend! \(^_^)/ - Cammy Lumia

Aw thank you so much for your kind words, Cammy!
Its so wonderful to hear that your shiki futon has helped bring the authentic Japanese relaxation experience to your home, and we sincerely hope it continues providing warm and comforting moments for many years to come! \^-^/
Happy Kutsurogi!

Quality and comfort

Quality is a five star review. A perfect stitch on everything. My experience and expectations have been more than met. For people looking for a very thick futon please make a special order. These are average thickness. I use it as a topper on my other futon I ordered from the futon shop in California, which was hard as a rock and uncomfortable. Stay away from them bad service. The service with Takaokaya is wonderful but be patient, time zones are expected to make reply’s a bit more challenging but worth it. A+

Thank you for your kind words, Joyce!
We sincerely appreaciate your patience with us thoughout the process and are delighted to hear you're enjoying your new shiki futon! Sending our warmest regards from Kyoto and happy upcoming holidays!
Hoping to hear from you again soon :)

We LOVE our new beds!

We are so pleased with the whole experience of buying our new beds! Starting from the fact that it is a family-run business with great costumer service. We got lots of good advice and communication was clear and quick through the chat!

The shipment was easily arranged according to our needs and it went very quickly!

We got out shikibutons, pillows, covers and tatami mats (which smell so nice!!) yesterday. Everything was perfectly packed... It felt like Christmas in September!

The quality of the fabrics is beautiful. They have great colors and are very soft to the touch. Our first night sleeping on our shikibuton was great. Everything felt fresh, light and soft! So good!

It was also great to regain some space in our bedroom... There is much air there now!

We are coming Tokyo and Kyoto in November and we are so looking forward to visiting your shop!

Thank you so much for the experience!

Warm greetings from Malmö, Sweden!

Rodrigo Urðar

You have such a beautiful bedroom setup with your handcrafted Japanese bedding. It makes our hearts full knowing that both of you are loving the experience and are enjoying sleeping on the futons.

Better than I could have imagined!!

Was having a very difficult time finding a futon in the US with the same quality as the futon I slept on while traveling in Japan. This sleep set is just what I was hoping for! Dense enough where you have to work a little to lay it down and pick it up, thick enough so you can lay on your side without feeling your shoulder pressing into the floor, and beautiful detailing! So so happy!

Thank you Hannah for letting us know that we have made you so so happy with the Kyoto Basic Sleep Set we handcrafted you, and how it is better than you imagined. We are glad that we were able to re-create that same quality and comfort of the futon that you slept on while travelling in Japan!

Happily as expected.

One would expect a beautiful high quality product from a century old Kyoto futon maker. It met expectations. The cover has a beautiful pattern. Shipping to Australia was quick and frictionless.

Being use to sleeping on a thick mattresses, I was a bit achey the first 1-2 mornings but am fine now. However, some people might find a futon too thin.

Thank you Wano for rating our Shiki Futon 5*.
You are quite right to say that transitioning from a thick Western mattress to a Shiki Futon might be uncomfortable, especially if you are not used to sleeping on the floor as well.

While our futon has a certain height and volume, being filled only with cotton, it is soft and fluffy and does not support the body's weight like a foam and spring mattress. Here in Japan, to make it more comfortable, people sleep on 2 Shiki Futons are stacked together or they will place the Shiki Futon on a urethane or latex mat, to provide extra cushioning.

Do reach out to us if you need recommendations for a more comfortable sleep. :)

Comfort: A Shiki Futon for Tropical Bliss

This Shiki Futon Mattress is really good! The cover comes in a beautiful yellow colour (021.Nanohana), like the clothes of old emperors. It's very comfy to sleep on and works well in hot, damp places. The mattress is light, so it's easy to take outside and put in the sun to keep it fresh. One bad thing: the box it came in was broken when it arrived. This wasn't nice for such a good mattress. But overall, it's a great bed that looks good and feels nice to sleep on, especially in warm weather.

Thank you PK for rating the Shiki Futon Mattress 5 ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆. We are glad you find it comfortable and easy to use.
We are sorry about the condition of the box and will inform our shipping partner and their counterparts to be more mindful when handling our packages.

Enjoy resting on your Shiki Futon Mattress!

Pure quality

I have been searching since I like to woodwork and build my own items with the current state of manufactured goods I have little patience for poor craftsmanship ie Ikea or store bought products in 2024 that come from China. I have seldom seen them to last beyond 6-months of consistent usage.

That aside, Takaokaya and their products have been exactly who I have been looking for. The products I have acquired (Tatami - trifold and squares, and the Shiki Futon) have exceeded even my standards for build quality. I will be returning to their skill set for more products in the future! Kudos to Takaokaya!

We are really happy to know that we met your expectations quality, handcrafted bedding. Thank you for the 5* rating Damien.

Please enjoy resting and relaxing on your Japanese bedding from us.

My best futon in ten years

I have been looking for futon that meets my expectation since I slept on the floor ten years ago.

I am grateful that I finally come across the name Takaokaya . I am so serious about sleep that I pay a visit to their shop at Kyoto to order futon sets for myself and my husband. I was very impressed with their quality that besides futons , I can’t resist to pamper myself with their ojami cushions and covers , pillow and linen mattress pad .

It’s now a week after receiving our order. With my Takaokaya made to order futons , we need not to compromise between comfort, quality and style . While the futon is fluffy to sleep on, I can feel the cotton inside spring back for support. We slept soundly .

Thanks Takaokaya not only making products, but also relaxation and style for us . The linen mattress pad really helps in such hot and humid Hong Kong weather. The beauty of ojami cushions shines , we find it very functional too.

Besides products’ quality, their service is attentive and exceptional that I would highly recommend.

Dear Betty-san,
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are very glad to hear that our Shiki Futon pleases you and your husband !
We look forward to hearing from you again in the future :)

Beatiful craftsmanship and excellent quality !

I am very happy with Shiki Futon and love the weight of the Kake comforter. The 100% cotton feels warm and comfortable. Stitching and zippers on the pillow and covers are meticulously done.
The goods were very well packed and protected when I open the box.
I highly recommend TAKAOKAYA to those who love the simple pleasure of life, good quality natural products and excellent craftsmanship.

Thank you for your hard work.
