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.

Kyoto Basic Sleep Set
Thank you Praveen for rating 5* for your Kyoto Basic Sleep Set.
We hope you are having some of the best nights' rest with your Shiki Futon and long pillow.

This is just about the firmest yet softest mattress I've ever slept on. The mattress itself is delightfully soft while the firmness of the floor keeps your back and neck aligned. I have seen significant improvement in my lower back and neck pain since beginning to use the futon along with the long pillow. Well worth the money. Ensure you understand the proper care and follow the directions and you will have no issue. Takaokaya also provides excellent service and will go above and beyond to answer any question you may have!
Thank you for capturing the essence of sleeping on the floor with our Shiki Futon Mattress N.O. Your description of how it feels and how it helps with supporting your back and neck is really informative to people who are new to Shiki Futon.
Happy Kutsurogi,

I’m a minimalist and this has helped me get a more restful sleep thanks to 3” of quality cotton. I’m not even using proper tatami mat’s. I can air it out and it bounced back to original shape. So if your frustrated with ultra cheap mattress/futons or over priced ones go with Takaokaya.
