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.
FAQ for Shiki Futon
It's been fourteen years since I was last in Japan, but I have never forgotten the experience of sleeping on the futon. I've been sleeping on the floor all these years, but not in quite the same style and luxury. This shiki futon from the professionals at Takaokaya is worth every penny and I only wish I had purchased one sooner. The quality is impeccable. It is very beautiful, very comfortable and relaxing, and I love the morning and evening ritual of putting it out and taking it up. I highly recommend to anyone considering it to go for it! You won't regret it. Thank you everyone at Takaokaya! Sending much love from Virginia!
P.S. the shipping time was so fast!

I have been debating between a single mattress and a futon. Did some research and read the reviews of products here in the US and I was not impressed. I came across this website and did my due diligence. It’s a brave new world out there so I ordered. I’ve been to Japan before and their craftsmanship is real and they deliver. I waited maybe 2-3 weeks but let me tell you it’s worth it. I ordered the twin size futon and a cover and it’s the best sleep of my life. I feel I’m sleeping on a cloud. My back felt supported and the best part is waking up feeling like a spring chicken. The cotton fabric is what sold me to order from this company and sure did I have no regrets.
Absolutely loving it and it was shipped very quickly. Would definitely recommend
It's wonderful to know you are loving the handcrafted Shiki Futon, Edward!
