The J-Life Shikifuton is a Japanese-style floor mattress made in the US to traditional Japanese specifications. It has no foam, wool or innersprings. The inner mattress is made of 100% unbleached cotton duck and filled with 100% American-grown cotton. Naturally derived boron is used as a fire retardant to meet US fire retardant standards.
This version comes with a handmade, zippered removable cover that fits the mattress snugly. The cover is 100% cotton fabric imported from Japan, in Kurumi Brown. Kurumi means "walnut" in Japanese. The fabric is a deep brown with a cross-pattern weave.
The comfort level is firm. It is meant to be used on a flat, solid surface such as a tatami mat, a floor or a platform bed. It is sized to fit American bed frames but is not meant for American-style futon frames. A tatami mat underneath allows proper air circulation.
