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.

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.

My futon came 8 days faster than the minimum it told me on the website, from packaging to the actual product everything is exceptional. The people at this company take great pride in the quality of their work and it shows. I could not recommend them anymore. Also I cannot sleep on my western bed anymore after receiving my futon!
We are sorry for ruining the Western bed sleeping experience for you now that you have tried our Shiki Futon Mattress. :)
Thank you for the compliments and for rating us 5*.
Happy Kutsurogi!

I have slept on the floor for decades and have had many futons, but never one from Japan. After spending time in Kyoto, I decided I wanted a true Japanese futon for my sleeping in Alaska (where I live). I was nervous about shipping such a large item internationally. It was not a problem. In fact, Takaokaya Kyoto team went above and beyond to make sure shipping address would succeed (because DHL handed off to third party and the third party doesn't use my physical address). The packaging was excellent (mattress in sealed vacuum bag, box strapped for strength). Even the labels were amazing. In fact, the team added a label with a note to the delivery company thanking them for handling the package to successfully be delivered. Every email exchange I had was responded to quickly. I love that the Shiki futon mattress had a label that was signed by the four craftspersons who created my mattress. I am extremely happy and will definitely be able to experience Kutsurogi with my new futon.
Hello Karyn,
It is fantastic to know that we were able to re-create that wonderful experience of sleeping on an authentic Japanese futon for you in your home in Alaska.
Do pay us a visit next time when you return to Kyoto.
Happy Kutsurogi!

Love my new futon mattress. Service was 10 out of 10! I especially love my Tawara pillow. I took it on the plane to Spain for lumbar support.
We hope that the Tawara pillow had been a good companion for you when you were travelling in Spain, Karen. :)
Thank you for letting us know that you love the Shiki Futon Mattress and for rating our service 10 out of 10.
You are too kind!
Wishing you hours of relaxation with your futon mattress and Tawara pillow!
