Gorone Nap Futon

The comfort of three zabutons

For Japanese people, one of the most natural ways to relax is to lie freely on the floor.
In the past, during these moments, zabuton were instinctively laid out—often three placed side by side—to create a perfectly sized space for rest.
This familiar and comforting habit lies at the heart of the Gorone Nap Futon.

Three Zabutons, One Perfect Resting Space

The Story

This futon was inspired by a simple yet heartfelt idea from the okami (proprietress) of a traditional ryokan in Kyoto.

“After banquets, I often saw guests line up three zabuton cushions and lie down to rest. I wished there were a more stylish and comfortable futon for those moments.”

From this thought, the futon was born.

Perfect for a short nap or a quiet break, it offers a cozy “goron” (meaning to flop down and relax) moment — a time to stretch out, unwind, and enjoy true comfort.

The Craftsmanship Behind True Kutsurogi

Making a futon is not simply a matter of “stuffing cotton.”

Each piece is carefully crafted by skilled artisans, who layer the cotton by hand—one layer at a time—patiently filling and finishing the futon with great care.

Particular attention is given to the center of the futon, where the body rests and the greatest weight is placed during sleep. Extra thickness is thoughtfully added, and the amount and placement of cotton are finely adjusted to achieve the ideal balance for a comfortable night’s rest.

What cannot be seen is where the most time is spent. It is this devotion to the unseen that transforms a futon into something more—a place where the body releases, the mind softens, and true Kutsurogi begins.

This is something no machine can ever achieve.
