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.
FAQ for Shiki Futon
Shiki Futon Mattress
I had trouble sleeping for years, I always woke up sore in the morning and didn't feel rested at all. I've had my first futon for a few weeks now and it completely changed my life. It's extra hard and extra soft at the same time (I don't know how that's possible) and provides the perfect support for my back. After just a week of sleeping on the futon my body adjusted to it and I felt rested and no more soreness in the morning for the first time in years. Now I don't feel pain and even have energy to work out! Absolutely love it! Big thanks to everyone at Takaokaya :)
Thank you for the kind words and the amazing review for the Shiki Futon Rita! We are really happy that you adjusted well to sleeping on the futon and how you are feeling rested, painless and more energetic!

I firstly want to comment on the customer service. For several days, I talked to Valery who helped me determine exactly what I wanted and needed in my futon set, including colors and fabric types. She was very kind and helpful and I feel as though I've made a friend.
I requested extra stuffing for my futon so I got the max option which was + 50% cotton. It is very soft and pillowy as a result, and I hope the earthy hay-like smell of the cotton never fades. This will, however, make it bulkier and harder to move, though not at all impossible on your own. If you only plan on using it on occasion like I do, though, moving it won't be too much of an issue.
The single is a perfect size for one person and a cat or two. I have enjoyed meditating on it at night. It is very cooling and doesn't cause me to feel overheated. Overall, I recommend you shop here for an authentic at-home Japanese experience.
Thank you Quincy for letting us know that you are very pleased with your authentic Japanese bedding set! I am honored that you love the service and most importantly, the Shiki Futon!
Wish you and the fur kids a relaxing time on the futon!
