This is a Japanese futon mattress (shikifuton) handcrafted in Tokyo. The cover is organic cotton and the filling is 100% organic cotton, layered by hand. It is GOTS certified and made without flame retardants, pesticides or adhesives.
Each mattress is hand-tufted using traditional Japanese techniques. The tufting and corner ties help hold the cotton in place as it gradually settles with use. After the cotton is layered, the mattress is sewn closed by hand.
It is designed for floor sleeping, tatami mats and low platform beds. The bicolor version has Amber fabric on one side and Natural Beige on the other, and either side can be the sleeping surface. Silk thread is normally used for the corner tassels and tufting ties. A silk-free option uses cotton thread instead, which may loosen or unravel more easily than silk. Its color may differ from the product images, and function is not affected.
