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.

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 was a long road to get this futon, all the way to Florida USA but it was the best decision I ever made. The quality is top notch, the stitching is perfect and the colors are beautiful, it is soft but easy to move and pick up. the sheet I bought is beautiful and I feel so dreamy when I look at it and the material is thick quality. The customer service is the best I ever had, many emails, they are very patient with many questions. the shipping price is worth every penny. you won't get a better futon anywhere. thank you so much, I will be buying again.

I was gladly surprised that the Shiki Futon is so soft - I had thought it would not be so fluffly on the inside.
Upon opening it, there was an incredible excitement and one very nice detail to me was that it had a lovely smell, sort of like hay or that it had been in a nice comfy barn for a while.
Anyway. We received our futon about a week ago and I can start to say that my back is finally slowly getting used to it. I have been eager to transition form our way too old couch to something natural and luckily I found this shop. You have the kindest customer service people. I found it beautiful that the futon had a tag on it with signatures from all workers who had crafted the mattress. How good to get a sense of that.
Thank you, Valery, for the lovely personal note! We thank every worker who made our lovely new bed!
You are welcome for everything! We are just so happy to know that we are able to handcraft you a piece of comfortable traditional Japanese bedding for your enjoyment, and thank you for the positive review. Please continue to enjoy the futon.

Excellent high quality product! I don’t remember the last time I’ve slept this well and I was hoping it would improve my sleep. It definitely has! I’m 29 and my mum is 65 who also bought one and is sleeping comfortably too. We both LOVE it!! Very grounding, very comfortable, easier to maintain than previous western mattress, I won’t be going back!
Also very efficient and kind customer service with fast shipping to Australia!
Thank you so much Takaokaya :)
