why is our shiki futon so comfortable?
Futon Stuffing In Action
To stuff the futon, our craftsmen have to arrange large sheets of cotton before tearing them manually into the shape and size of the futon.
why so good?
secrets of 100% cotton filling
SECRET 1
the comfort of the cotton filling
Handcrafted using traditional techniques passed down for generations and modern innovations, Takaokaya’s futons are the perfect combination of pleasant firmness for spine support, and pillowy cushioning to cradle your body to enable better sleep so you can wake up feeling refreshed the next day. Shiki futon can be used on the floor or if you are not used to sleeping on the floor, you can put it on top of your mattress for added comfort and relaxation.
SECRET 2
excellent moisture absorption, heat retention and resilience
As cotton fibers are hollow and have a natural twist structure, our futons have excellent moisture absorption in the summer heat and cozy in the winter chill, making them suitable for all seasons. Our futons also have good resilience due to our choice selection of cotton. Sunning your futon regularly not only helps to fluff up your futon but also disinfect it. The cotton filling we used for stuffing Shiki Futon is specially selected so that our futons are plushy and yet firm to provide ample support for a healthy spine.

We live in the USA and have been researching shikibutons for years. We knew we wanted quality, we knew we wanted natural materials and we knew we didnt want one that was "mass-produced". Im so glad we decided to order from Takaokaya. we bought 2 sets, one for me and one for my adult son. We couldnt be happier. They are beautifully made and very comfortable. My son and I are both side sleepers. There is a lot of information in the US regarding side sleepers and shikibutons that almost convinced us not to change over. We had a small adjustment period that lasted about 2 nights for him (he is younger) and 3 nights for me. No pain of course, but some soreness in my shoulders. Turns out it was our pillows. We ended up rolling a terry towel and sleeping on that. No more issues. We will now be looking for better pillows. I cant see myself ever going back to a western mattress. Takaokaya also included cards in our orders with "born" on dates and who did the cutting and sewing. That was a lovely personal touch. The futons were packed very well and arrived pretty quickly once they had been made. We are thinking about getting another for guests. Very happy with our new beds.
This is such a lovely review that you left us Monique! It really makes us happy to know that you and your son are enjoying sleeping on the futon and that it took you a less than a week to adjust to sleeping on the Shiki Futon mattress. Feel free to reach out to us if you would like to customize pillows to sleep better, or if you would like tatami mats for the Shiki Futon mattresses.
Thank you for noticing the 'Birth Certs' that we attached to the products. It is quite a new initiative and we thought it would be nice for every owner to know how their futons came about.
Wishing you the best sleep ever! Happy Kutsurogi!

The futon and cover have are really good quality, the design et texture are exquisite !
I really like both Shiki Futon Mattress and cover set. The mattress is a little bit too thin for me, but nothing really annoying and I love the texture and colors of the fabrics. Also, the customer service is very attentive and responsive.
Hello Nicolas!
Thank you for leaving a 5* review for the Shiki Futon Mattress and Cover Set.
Just a little tip, you can place a foam mattress under your Shiki Futon Mattress so that you can get more cushioning for a more comfortable sleep.
Alternatively, you can consider getting a mattress topper to add on to your Shiki Futon or even get a tatami mat to place under the Shiki Futon. Feel free to reach out to us anything if you have any questions on how to relax better with our Shiki Futon.
Happy Kutsurogi!

Purchased two full size futons from Takaokaya and they are beautifully made. Maybe because I am used to sleeping on a mattress, the futon felt a little thin as I could still feel the tatami below. Would be great if there's an option for a double stuffing for thicker option futons.
Hi Su Tjuen,
Our handcrafting process is customizable and yes, we can add extra stuffing into the shiki futon. Thank you for the suggestion to put that option online. We will work on it! :)
Just a quick tip, do sun your futon regularly to maintain its fluffiness. If you would like to have a more 'cushioned' sleep, you can add on a topper, and also customized it with extra filling.
Happy Kutsurogi!
