Gorone Nap Futon - Cotton

The Floor is Your Sanctuary: Rediscovering the Joy of "Gorone"
In Japan, there is a word for the art of informal relaxation: Gorone (pronounced go-ro-neh). It literally means to "flop down" and relax.

For generations, the Japanese have mastered this art of informal relaxation. Whether lining up three zabuton cushions to watch TV or curling up with a favorite book, this "in-between" rest is considered a supreme everyday luxury. It isn’t quite the deep sleep of bedtime, nor is it just a quick nap. Gorone is about flipping the "off" switch—decompressing and resetting without committing to a full night's sleep.

Even in a world where Western-style furniture is the norm, there remains something uniquely grounding about being close to the floor. It is a space where we shed our public personas and return to our most relaxed selves. We often start on the sofa, only to find ourselves migrating to the floor, leaning against the cushions, and finally stretching out completely.

That instinctive comfort is why we are re-introducing this timeless Japanese tradition for the modern home with our handcrafted Gorone Nap Futon.

Washing

  • Do not wash at home. This item is not suitable for home laundering.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, gently dab the area with a damp cloth as soon as possible. Avoid rubbing harshly, as this may damage the fabric.
  • Professional Cleaning: If deep cleaning is necessary, please consult a professional cleaner specializing in futons or heavy bedding.

Drying

  • Sun drying is possible. However, please be aware that dark-colored items may fade if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

Storage

  • Store in a well-ventilated area. Before long-term storage, we recommend drying the item in the sun to remove any lingering moisture.
  • Moisture Prevention: Cotton filling is sensitive to humidity. To prevent moisture buildup and mold, do not store in airtight plastic bags. Instead, use a breathable material such as a non-woven fabric bag.

Why is goronenap futon so special?

Refined craftsmanship is deeply ingrained in both the DNA of Kyoto and Takaokaya.

  • All made by hand

    Every product is lovingly handcrafted by experienced craftsmen using skills and techniques passed down for generations with pride for over 100 years.

  • Cutting

    Every piece is done by the steady hands of the craftsmen. Getting this process right is very important as it determines the outcome of the final product.

  • sewing

    Creating the outer shell of each product is no mean feat. Our craftsmen have to ensure that each piece is not only sewn at the right angles and made to the right proportions but also aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

  • Stuffing

    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.

  • Finishing

    At the end of the production process, striking the cushion is essential. This step is done to make sure that the cotton filling spreads evenly. Middle stitches are applied to the center of the cushions to keep the cotton filling in place.
