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.

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.
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!

My family and I love our Shiki futon mattress and cover from Takaokaya. It is made with 100% cotton and we love that there are no synthetic materials in our mattress. I chose two different colors for the futon and the cover and love both colors. It is true to what is shown on the website. I also appreciate how the team meticulously cared for and packaged the futon. It was completely sealed! The shipping process was seamless and I was notified at every step. I am a very happy customer!
Knowing that we have made you a very happy customer made us very happy too, Jenny! Thank you for the 5* rating.
Please enjoy resting on your Shikifuton mattress! We are honored to provide Kutsurogi (relaxation) for your and your family!
Happy Kutsurogi!
