--- About Shiki Futon ---

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 the place which also acts as decoration. 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.

about long pillow

The shape of the Long Pillow was inspired by the traditional Japanese straw bag used in the past to transport rice grains called the kome dawara (米俵). It is perfect for sleeping or as a footrest. Adjust the height of the pillow according to your preference to suit your comfort level of support. To lower its height, loosen the string, and to increase its height, tie the string tighter. 

Filling Options

We have 3 fillings options available. The hard polyethylene pipe is the original filling which has been a long-time favorite amongst Takaokaya customers who prefer firm pillows. For those who prefer a softer pillow, choose the soft polyethylene pipe. If you are looking for fillings that are natural more eco-friendly and has a balance of softness and firmness, we offer buckwheat filling.

Adjust the height and shape

Have the flexibility of adjusting the firmness and height of your long pillow by either tightening or loosening the ties on each end. Need taller and firmer pillow? Tie them tightly. Need lower and softer pillow? Tie them loosely.

Good combination with shiki futon

The size of the pillow is the perfect fit for our shiki futons. Due to its length, you can choose to sleep on your back or your side.

Fabulous Bed

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!

Never thought I would love a bed this much

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.

Dear Dorothy-san,

It was my pleasure to be able to serve you and help you with getting the ideal kangu that you can relax with. We are so glad that you are happy with our product's quality and workmanship.

I am happy to know that you are also sleeping better because of our shikibuton! Thank you so much for your support!

Wishing you good health and many nights of good sleep!
Nanako
