The J-Life Shikifuton is a traditional Japanese-style mattress: layers of 100% American-grown cotton inside an unbleached cotton duck shell, with no foam, wool or innersprings. It comes with a removable cover in imported Japanese cotton fabric. It suits sleepers who want a firm, low, floor-level bed that folds away, and who accept that pure cotton needs regular airing and turning. Against foam and innerspring futons it is firmer and more traditional, but heavier to move and more demanding to maintain.
