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 cannot say enough good things about my shopping experience with this company. Nanako-san was a genuine delight to correspond with, in fact it was her professional and respectful responses that ultimately convinced me to order my new shikibuton from Takaokaya. I ordered a custom sleep set made to North American double dimensions and the size was spot on after Nanako's recommendation to add an additional 5cm to accommodate for the filling. Every item in the sleep set is beautifully made, the fabrics are lovely and you can see the intention in each stitch. The shikibuton has completely improved the quality of my sleep. Going to bed and waking up has become this sweet little ritual of making and unmaking the bed, and sleeping in it feels like a warm hug from a grandparent. I also no longer wake up with back pain or stiffness. If you are on the fence or shopping around, the sleep set is worth every penny. Everything has surpassed my expectations and I look forward to ordering again in the future. Shipping to Canada only took 2 days which is insanely fast, taxes and duties were also very reasonable.
