Enjoy a cool and refreshing sleep by placing your futon(shikibuton) on a tatami mat, even during hot summer nights. If you don't have tatami, simply use it on a bed frame or wooden flooring without gaps for a comfortable night's rest.

Firm Spinal Support

Our futons(shikibuton) are crafted with diamond quilting, a unique sewing technique that evenly distributes body pressure. This ensures the futon(shikibuton) maintains its shape and support over time, preventing uneven wear and pressure points on your back. You'll enjoy consistent comfort and relief from lower back pain night after night.

After use, simply fold it up and store it in a closet or small storage space. Its compact design makes it ideal for small apartments or homes with limited space.

Breathable Cotton Surface

Our futons' outer layer and surface are made from 100% cotton to provide a soft, skin-friendly sleeping surface. Cotton's high moisture absorption helps keep you dry and comfortable throughout the night, preventing that sticky feeling. Enjoy the natural, breathable texture that only quality materials can offer.

Back Pain? Try Our Futons!

It's taken the pain away from us, and it's saved us! We really recommend it to people who have the same problem as us.

My husband and I had big problems with our lower back before getting this mattress. We felt pain every day in our back and lower back, and my husband couldn't sleep on any side; he felt numbness in his hands and feet.

It had been a long time, and then I found this mattress. I removed the foam mattress and put it on our bed, and then we got our first great sleep night. There was no pain in the morning; it was amazing; the mattress saved us.

Jasmine Zz

I've had it for one night, and already, my back pain has improved. I did get a generic buckwheat pillow and tatami mats to go under it. I have a generic comforter from Amazon. The mattress itself is not super thick like US beds, but the firmness is what I need.

I plan to fold the mattress each night to help prevent mold from growing. I also bought a protector and sheets.

I am 5'6" and 220 pounds. I have had back injuries from when I was a firefighter. It already is improved from sleeping on the mattress.

Catie Smith

It took a while for my body to adjust, but I find the futon mattress so comfortable now. I find myself sleeping on my back, unlike I used to.

I have noticed that my lower back and core feel stronger with fewer aches, and my posture has improved. The king size is great because we have plenty of room.

I sleep pretty well and feel rested when I wake up. However, I used to sleep horribly on our old Sealy mattress.

What is Shikibuton?

A shikibuton (futon mattress) is a traditional Japanese floor mattress used for sleeping, part of the overall futon bedding system. It is laid directly on the floor, typically on tatami mats, and can be easily folded and stored away when not in use, making it ideal for small living spaces. Shikibuton is generally thinner compared to Western-style mattresses, with a thickness of around 2 to 3 inches, providing a balance between comfort and portability. It’s a versatile and practical option for those seeking a minimalist or space-saving bedding solution.

The key points for selecting a shikibuton include:

  • Size: Available in sizes like Twin, Full, Queen, and King, with the choice depending on the room size and number of people using it.
  • Portability: Lightweight and easy to fold, making it convenient to store or move.
  • Breathability and Comfort: Often used with tatami mats to enhance the sleeping experience.

This type of futon is perfect for those who value simple, compact living without sacrificing comfort.
