Bed Mattress Topper - Cotton

Lightweight Shiki Futon for Beds
There is a secret to a truly restful sleep found in the traditional cotton-filled Shiki Futon. However, many find traditional versions heavy to lift or a bit too thick for modern bed use. That’s why we created this specialized version—designed to be approximately half the weight of a standard cotton futon.

Its slim profile makes it perfect as a "mattress topper" to lay over your existing bed or mattress, allowing you to enjoy the gentle, natural comfort of pure cotton without the extra bulk. For those who prefer a more traditional setup, layering two of these together creates the feel and support of a standard-thickness Shiki Futon.

Hand-crafted in Kyoto, this lightweight essential brings the time-honored comfort of cotton into the modern home with ease and flexibility.

Care

This product contains cotton filling. To ensure its longevity, please follow these care instructions:

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 cause the color to bleed or fade.
  • 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.

Important Notes on Product

  • Handcrafted Quality: Each of our products is handcrafted by skilled artisans—from cutting and sewing to filling and finishing. As a result, there may be slight variations in size, shape, weight, and firmness between individual pieces. We appreciate your understanding of these unique, handmade qualities.
  • Natural Wear and Cushioning: Since this product is filled with cotton, the degree of compression over time will vary depending on the frequency of use, the user’s body type, and how the item is handled. Please understand that settling (loss of loft) is a natural characteristic of cotton filling and should be expected over time.
  • Static and Fiber Migration: Due to the nature of cotton filling, friction against clothing or other fabrics may cause static electricity. This can occasionally cause fine cotton fibers to work their way through the outer fabric. We appreciate your understanding of this material trait.
