The J-Life Shikifuton is a Japanese-style floor mattress made in the US to traditional Japanese specifications. It is filled with 100% American-grown cotton and has no wool, foam or innersprings. The cotton duck cover is unbleached, and naturally derived boron is used as a fire retardant to meet US standards.
It comes with a handmade, zippered removable cover cut to fit the mattress snugly. The cover is 100% cotton, made from fabric imported from Japan. Its Mizu pattern is a crashing wave of tiny navy blue dots. Mizu (水) is the Japanese word for "water."
The sleep surface is firm. The mattress is meant to be used on a flat, solid surface such as a tatami mat, the 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.
