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.

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.

My wife and I are two elderly Americans who will be living in Japan for a few years. Having slept on futons before, and living in an apartment with a tatami room, we decided to go with futons during our time in Japan. We worked closely with Valery to place our order, make sure the futons, comforters, and covers got built on time, and that delivery was coordinated with our schedule. Everything went exceptionally smoothly, and we have now been using our futons for the past two nights. We are very happy with our decision to go with futons, and very happy with the high quality products delivered by Takaokaya! Thank you Valery for your kind help throughout the process!
Was having a very difficult time finding a futon in the US with the same quality as the futon I slept on while traveling in Japan. This sleep set is just what I was hoping for! Dense enough where you have to work a little to lay it down and pick it up, thick enough so you can lay on your side without feeling your shoulder pressing into the floor, and beautiful detailing! So so happy!
Thank you Hannah for letting us know that we have made you so so happy with the Kyoto Basic Sleep Set we handcrafted you, and how it is better than you imagined. We are glad that we were able to re-create that same quality and comfort of the futon that you slept on while travelling in Japan!
