Futon Mattresses

Our futon mattresses are designed to pair perfectly with our tatami mats. They are slightly larger than a twin size (100cm x 210cm / 39.4 inches x 86.6 inches), providing ample space for a comfortable sleep. Combining our futon with a tatami mat offers the ideal sleeping experience.

Specifications

  • Cover: 100% Cotton
  • Filling: 50% Wool, 50% Polyester (anti-dust mite, antibacterial, and deodorizing treatment)
  • Weight: 1.8kg

  • Size: 100cm x 210cm ( About 39.4 inches x 86.6 inches)
  • Weight: 3.7kg
  • Made in Japan

Benefits

  • While standing posture is often considered ideal, when lying down, weight tends to concentrate on the back and waist, causing traditional futons to sink and create discomfort. Our futon mattress is designed to overcome this issue, offering an innovative solution for better sleep.
  • Pressure Distribution: The core is divided into four sections with varying firmness levels for the head, back, waist, and feet. This design helps to evenly distribute body weight, reduce pressure on the back and waist, and maintain an ideal sleeping posture.
  • Comfort: Provides the proper support for different parts of the body, preventing sinking and ensuring a comfortable sleeping position.

How to Use

Place the futon mattress on a tatami mat, carpet, or bed frame for sleeping or lounging. Using it with a cover is recommended for added protection and hygiene.
