Our hand crafted shikibuton is made with all natural cotton batting and tufted in a 100% cotton shell. It measures approximately 3" and will compact and get firmer over time. The Shikibuton is suggested for those who can sleep on the floor with no ill effects.

A shikibuton, or shiki futon, is a traditional Japanese style mattress of about 3 to 4 inches thick that is often placed on a platform or directly on a traditional floor mat (called tatami).
One of the biggest advantages of a shikibuton is that it is extremely portable and can easily be rolled up and stored while not in use. The shikibuton is suitable for a guest bed or people who like to sleep on the floor, but just need a little bit of cushion. It is not suitable for a slatted bed frame, as you will feel the slats underneath. The shikibuton starts of soft and fluffy and will compact down and become firm.

Shikibutons can be the ultimate solution for people with back pain. Have you ever heard that sleeping on a hard surface may help to diminish some back problems? The reason why many people experience back pain when they sleep on a regular mattress, is because the mattress may simply be too soft or have indentations from years of usage. Sleeping on a shikibuton will help to align your head, neck, and spine and helps you maintain a good posture.

Besides the fact that shikibutons improve your sleeping position, they also provide a night of blissful sleep. Many people have already discovered that they sleep better on shikibutons than on an expensive innerspring mattress.

Futon mattresses come in all shapes and sizes, and we can even craft custom sizes for boats, RVs etc. The most common sizes we sell are Twin, Full & Queen, standard mattress sizes.

We fill our futons with a set formula but because batches of cotton can vary and we make our futons by hand, they don't always start their life at perfect mattress dimensions. Usually a futon will begin up to three inches shorter than industry standard. As the fibers inside compact, they spread outward often causing a gain of 1-3 inches. This compaction process can take up to a year to accomplish.

A note on ordering: unfortunately we cannot stock everything in our catalog, most futons are made to order. This can take up to 2 weeks for your new futon or mattress to become available. If you need something right away, please call the store and ask us to check inventory before placing your order online. Otherwise, we will call you when your order is available for pick up.
