about our summer futon

Why so comfortable? - Point 1 -
special shibo fabric
Takaokaya Summer Futon is made with our carefully selected fabric called "Crespo“. This unique fabric is woven with special techniques to create irregular crinkles and folds (Shibo in Japanese) on the surface. Due to unevensurface of the fabric, it has less contact area with the skin, providing greater ventilation.
Also, “Crespo” has excellent moisture wicking power, cooling the body down quickly for a comfortable night’s rest during summer.

Another reason that makes “Crespo” unique is that the cotton yarns are dyed first, using only natural colour pigmentations extracted from the petals, stems, seeds, fruits, roots, etc. of dried and preserved plants, before the fabric is woven.
Choose from 2 exquisite color tones of natural plants in our “Crespo” collection:
Gardenia (Green) and Carnation (Pink)

WHY SO COMFORTABLE? - POINT 2-
Size with reason
Our summer futon is 120 x 160 cm. This size is smaller than the normal futon's size (150 x 210 cm). Due to its size, if we use our futon horizontally, we can put our arms and legs out from the futon to keep our body cooler, but not make our belly cooler by covering it with a futon. But from our overseas customers' voice, we make normal futon size, too this time. Please choose the size suitable for your sleeping environment.

WHY SO COMFORTABLE? - POINT 3 -
light and washable
To keep the futon light and comfortable, we use 100% Polyester for the inner filling.
This Summer Futon is also machine washable. Simply put the futon into a laundry bag/net before putting to the machine to wash with gentle detergent.

I love the quality of this blanket! It is well made and perfect for warm or hot nights. The light pink color is calming to look at, and I actually look forward every night to sleep with it. Thank you for the wonderful blanket. The shipping was also quick for an international order.
It's fantastic knowing that the Crespo Summer Futon is now your favorite blanket for warm, balmy summer nights!
We hope it will continue to help you sleep well during the hot seasons!

Looking back at this exceptionally hot summer with high temperatures reaching far into september, this crespo futon was my best decision. Usually in summer, sleeping with a blanket is too hot for me, sleeping without one too cold. But with the crespo, it’s perfect. Not only is it incredibly soft and has a wonderful feeling to the skin, light like feathers; but it gives the right temperature even with high degrees at night without sweating or freezing. I really love the crespo. Additionally, the color (I choose green) really pleases the eye at day and is like a soft, shallow shadow at night. Aesthetically amazing.
We are so happy to know that our Crespo futon has helped you sleep well this summer Philipp! Thank you for such a detailed review to help others know what it feels like to use the Crespo during summer. :)
Autumn is here... please keep warm!
