ALL MADE BY HAND

why is our shiki futon so comfortable?

We place great emphasis on and take extreme care during the stuffing process because it determines the comfort level as well as the longevity of the finished products. Our craftsmen work meticulously to ensure that the futon can retain and maintain its shape and fluffiness with daily use. To make the futons, we use many layers of cotton filling, piling layer after layer to the center of the futon repeatedly. The watoji stitch is then used to secure the cotton filling in place which also acts as decorations. Though the process is tedious, our craftsmen at Takaokaya, desire to create the most comfortable futons, so that our users can enjoy true relaxation for a good night’s rest. Every night, you will be smiling as you feel your body unwinding and melting away the stresses of the day when you lay down on your Takaokaya futon for the best sleep ever.

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.

Customised Futon for my daughter

Wow, what an incredible package to receive in London all the way from Japan, my daughters customised futon. Your service, your traditional craftsmanship and care have been formidable. My daughter is so happy to be sleeping on a comfortable and beautiful work of art. It has been an enjoyable and smooth journey working with you to make my custom sized futon and to have a choice of traditional Japanese fabrics.
Thank you so very much.

Shiki Futon

Thanks you Nanako-san for your kind messages. I ordered a shiki futon on your site and everything went smoothly. The futon made in Kyoto is here in Strasbourg and in perfect state (very good packing, regular messages to chek the progress of the parcel, etc.). It is a very fine work and I appreciate it without reserve!!

Thanks a lot!
