To select the correct futon size

Please note that what we show on our site is the size of the futon fabric. If it is filled with cotton, it will be about 4 inches (10 cm) shorter in length and width.

 

Example : Futon Mattress - Single 78” x 39” (200 x 100 cm) will be 74" x 35" (190 x 90 cm) when you receive.

Thickness

thickness of futon

 

Shiki Futon (Futon Mattress) at the time of delivery is very fluffy and voluminous, measuring over 4” (10 cm) in the thickest center position but after about one week of usage the fluffiness will begin to settle, and the mattress will transform into a stiffer, denser futon. After about two to three months of use, the cotton padding becomes even thinner (more constricted) and the futon will become about half of its original thickness. Although the volume decreases, the cotton fiber's "support features" become activated and the futon becomes a mattress that will support your proper sleeping posture.

The shikibuton futon arrived very quickly (from Japan!!), the seller was very responsive in every step during the shipping and delivery process. Very high quality item, hand-made, I am very excited to start sleeping on it!

Amazing futon mattress! It is so hard to find an all natural mattress without flame retardants, and I was thrilled to find this ethical company that makes such quality products. Highly recommended!

Peaceful Sleep

I've had trouble sleeping for years and I finally purchased this Shiki-buton. At first, I just put it on the floor. After 5 nights of completely restful sleep, my husband swapped with me. I had 2 terrible nights of sleep in my old bed and demanded my Shiki back! We've just ordered one for him as well as the tatami. If you like a firm sleeping surface with the right amount of cushion, then this is ideal!
