Product Information

Important Note: Because we only use natural, unbleached cotton in both the cotton filling (cushioning) and the outer fabric, you may see some “flaws” in the finished product. Occasionally you may see some short stretches of darker thread in the fabric stitching, or areas that at first look like stains in the fabric, but are actually the marbling of the natural cotton filling showing through the outer fabric. (We show examples of this in the product pictures). Sadly, these beds aren’t available everywhere. In fact, most futon stores won’t even have them. Fortunately, we live in the age of the Internet, where just about everything is available online. Moisture Absorption

An authentic Japanese futon is usually placed on top of a tatami mat and the Fuli Shiki Futon mattress is ideally meant to be placed on one or you can use a firm polyester pad. It is technically not going to work when placed on top of a bed frame although you can use it on a flat platform style base if you so wish. As a typical Japanese house is smaller and has fewer rooms, it’s important to use the space for multiple functions,” Kaifu says. “A futon is folded and placed into a closet during the daytime so the room can be used as a living room, dining room, study room, etc.” Natural materials Yogi ( よぎ, literally "nightclothes") are kimono-shaped bedclothes. They were used in the 1800s and early 1900s. [6] Rectangular kakebutons are now widely used. Kakebutons vary in materials; some are warmer than others. Those with traditional cotton filling feel heavier than those with feather or synthetic fillings. [5]Futon are also being praised for their minimal environmental impact. Good quality futon are made from organic materials and tend not to contain harmful substances. If made from 100 percent cotton, your futon will also be biodegradable, so you don’t have to worry about contributing to landfills or excess waste. The cover of the Colorful Mart Futon mattress is made up of 100% polyester fiber, which is light and breathable. Colorful Mart suggests to have their Tatami mattress professionally cleaned but for regular use, they recommend airing it out as well as regular sunning, just like the Japanese way. The batting or stuffing of this mattress comprises sustainably farmed wool and non-GMO starch PLA fiber. In futon mattresses, PLA fiber, like natural polyester fiber, resists body impressions without petrochemicals. PLA fiber is non-toxic and aids in moisture removal, making the Shiki Futon mattress ideal for hot sleepers.

If you ever been into a traditional home in Japan or slept in a ryokan, chances are that you’ve seen or slept on a Japanese futon. Remember, that it may take a few nights to get used to this new way of sleeping. But, if you give it a chance, you may find that you wonder how you ever slept on a bulky bed. Are Japanese futons recommended for guests? We experienced a very small amount of off-gassing with the Fuli Shiki Futon mattress but this dissipated within a few days. Completely practical for a small home or apartment. Ideal for compact living spaces and small apartments because of the flexible and light nature of the shiki futon. Sometimes, moving into a new apartment or small dorm room leaves you with few options for your bedding situation. The shiki futon is designed in a variety of types such as a Japanese roll up bed or bedroll to solve any conflicting space situations. Another benefit is that you can fold the futon into a compact size and free up space. Simple Living
