--- About Shiki Futon ---
ALL MADE BY HAND
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.

Good combination with shiki futon
I love my new bed. I love that it's all cotton. I love the fabric. I love my buckwheat pillow.
My back pain has gone away from sleeping on a thinner futon, although I have some meat on my bones so my hips need to get used to it. But above that I love that I can roll it up and take care of it. It's very satisfying to be able to learn about a new way of sleeping, and knowing my back will feel better when I wake up. I feel excited when I make my bed now. I look forward to the future. Thank you for making this product available and I hope to purchase again in the future.
Thank you Heather for the 5* rating and for sharing that your back pain has improved from sleeping on your handcrafted Shikifuton.
Do sun your futon biweekly so that your futon stays soft and fluffy and you can enjoy your futon for longer.
Wishing you the best sleep ever and happy Kutsurogi!

Had a couple of nights on this bed on top of a tatami mat. It is super comfortable as I am someone who enjoys a firm bed. As compared to the conventional beds, with spring etc, this futon is way better and provides a much better support in your sleep that will help you with joint issues in the long run.
The customer support team was super helpful as well in making sure that I got what I wanted
It had been our pleasure to be able to assist you on your new bed shopping journey, and we are happy that we were able to meet your needs and expectations of a firm bed.
Your 5* review for our products and service is a greatly appreciated.
Happy Kutsurogi!

I discovered quickly I'm still not really into the sleeping on the floor thing, but I have it as an extra layer on top of my less comfortable mattress, which helps.
It's very clear a lot of craft and care goes into making these, and I love the way it looks too! I've tried a few other floor mattresses before, and this is easily my favorite. Shipping was fairly quick for being handmade, too. Would recommend.
Thank you Owen for leaving us this 5* review.
It is great to know that our handcrafted Shikifuton is your favorite floor mattress!
Wishing you night after night of restful and deep slumber on our Shikifuton!

We bought this for my son, and he absolutely loves it. We have also slept on it, and it is indeed very comfortable. The worksmanship for the futon, cover, and pillow we ordered are excellent. We may buy another for my other son in the near future.
Hi Atheir-san,
We are glad to know that your son is loving sleeping on our handcrafted Shikifuton. Every great review like yours help motivate our craftspeople to want to do better and also preserve the century old sewing techniques used to make our Shikifuton.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to your repeat orders in future!
