Note
*Please note: In Japan, futon sizes are traditionally based on the measurements of the outer fabric casing before it is stuffed. Accordingly, the sizes listed in our store refer to these dimensions prior to filling. Because our Shiki Futons are filled with a generous amount of 100% pure cotton, the product gains significant volume. As the cotton fills the casing, the overall width and length naturally decrease; typically, the finished width is about 7 cm shorter, and the length about 10 cm shorter than the casing measurements. If you require a bespoke size, please contact us at intl@takaoka-kyoto.jp for a consultation.
A freshly made futon is lofty and filled with air, measuring approximately 10 cm (3.9 in) at its fullest point. With regular use, the fibers will gradually settle and compress, transforming from a soft, airy feel into a firmer, more supportive surface. Over time, the thickness may reduce to roughly half its original height. Even as the futon settles, you will continue to enjoy the firm yet comforting "resilience" unique to natural cotton. For those who prefer extra cushioning, we recommend placing a thin urethane mat underneath to enhance support.

--- 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.

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.
