Organic Cotton Filling
Raw Cotton Saucing Location
We directly import cotton from the Murata Group in Gujarat, India's largest cotton-producing region.
We use non-genetically modified, native varieties of cotton. In the clothing industry, long-fiber cotton, which is more comfortable to wear as clothing, is preferred and is being bred, but the cotton needed for futons is a native species. The characteristic of this cotton is its fiber thickness, which provides strong support, making it an ideal variety for use in mattresses. It is certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), one of the world’s most reliable organic certifications.
GOTS certification is not only about ensuring that the raw fibers are organic; it also guarantees that all processes—from harvesting, processing, manufacturing, to distribution—are conducted in environmentally and socially responsible ways, with measures in place to prevent contamination or mixing with non-organic products.
Below are the initiatives of Murata Group’s contract farmers, who comply with GOTS regulations and receive advice from CB:
• Soil Management: Using only organic fertilizers and crop rotation and avoiding synthetic inputs.
• Pest and Weed Management: Implementing IPM practices; using mechanical and biological methods.
• Seeds and Planting Material: Using only organic, non-GMO seeds.
• Water Management: Conserving water, ensuring clean irrigation sources and storage and reuse of water in Monsoons
• Post-Harvest Handling: Preventing contamination with non-organic products and practices
• Environmental Sustainability: Reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable land use.
• Social Responsibility: Following fair labor practices and ensuring worker well-being.
• Regular Inspections: Complying with regular inspections by the certifying body.

Thickness
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.

How We Make Futon
We source quality raw cotton from India. Classic, heavy-duty machines, which have been used for over three generations, get rid of cotton chips and make the cotton suitable as futon filling. We sterilize cotton by heat. We don't use any chemical material in any of our processes.
Many kinds of cotton fabrics are in stock to meet customers’ various demands. Our skilled artisans finish more than 15 futon mattresses per day when it‘s busy. The products are then shipped to the world from our office on the lower floor of the factory. Our making process is minimal and productive at the same time. We can cut the costs of the middleman and transportation. That’s why we can offer quality products at a fair price.

Great investment for your health , and you can feel the care and love they put in to making their products.
Everything about this was such a good purchase. The futon is very comfortable and fits perfectly in my tiny room and the mat makes such a difference with the support. The quality is so good too. I'm so glad I purchased here instead of finding a bed frame and mattress.
It's a bit heavier than I imagined so taking it out to sit in the sun every morning was a bit hard. but im really enjoying the process of it at the same time.
Looking forward to purchasing again.
