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.

This Shiki Futon Mattress is really good! The cover comes in a beautiful yellow colour (021.Nanohana), like the clothes of old emperors. It's very comfy to sleep on and works well in hot, damp places. The mattress is light, so it's easy to take outside and put in the sun to keep it fresh. One bad thing: the box it came in was broken when it arrived. This wasn't nice for such a good mattress. But overall, it's a great bed that looks good and feels nice to sleep on, especially in warm weather.
Thank you PK for rating the Shiki Futon Mattress 5 ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆. We are glad you find it comfortable and easy to use.
We are sorry about the condition of the box and will inform our shipping partner and their counterparts to be more mindful when handling our packages.
Enjoy resting on your Shiki Futon Mattress!

I have been searching since I like to woodwork and build my own items with the current state of manufactured goods I have little patience for poor craftsmanship ie Ikea or store bought products in 2024 that come from China. I have seldom seen them to last beyond 6-months of consistent usage.
That aside, Takaokaya and their products have been exactly who I have been looking for. The products I have acquired (Tatami - trifold and squares, and the Shiki Futon) have exceeded even my standards for build quality. I will be returning to their skill set for more products in the future! Kudos to Takaokaya!
We are really happy to know that we met your expectations quality, handcrafted bedding. Thank you for the 5* rating Damien.
Please enjoy resting and relaxing on your Japanese bedding from us.
