• What Is a Shikibuton?


    A shikibuton is a traditional Japanese futon mattress designed to be used on tatami mats or other firm surfaces. Handcrafted from natural cotton and inspired by centuries of Japanese bedding tradition, shikibutons offer a simple, supportive, and space-saving alternative to conventional mattresses.

  • Caring for your Futon


    Proper care helps your futon remain comfortable for years. Regular rotation, occasional sunning, and breathable bedding help maintain loft, freshness, and support while preserving the natural characteristics of cotton.

  • So firm and comfortable especially for my back. Cotton scent is there when it first arrived, but it doesn't bother me and dissipated quickly. The futon has a certain simplicity that I love. May never return to a foam mattress.

  • As expected, a classic futon well made and delivered quickly.

  • This is the futon I've been dreaming of. These folks are artists! Exceptional workmanship, fabulous quality, comfortable, hand made to my specifications and fast shipping. If you're looking to buy a futon mattress, don't hesitate. Order one today!

  • We really like this queen Japanese futon mattress! We have tried far too many mattresses & toppers to get a more comfortable, restful sleep; but we keep ending up getting rid of them within 3-6 months! I'm tired of wasting money, so we decided to try this futon mattress, where we're using the floor for firmness & the Futon for cushion/comfort. BINGO! This one is the best one we've tried; so far we're happy with it.
