The J-Life Shikifuton is a traditional Japanese-style mattress made in the US to Japanese specifications. It uses a 100% unbleached cotton duck shell filled with American-grown cotton, with no foam, wool or innersprings, and comes with a removable 100% cotton cover in imported Japanese fabric. It suits sleepers who want a firm, low, floor-level bed and are willing to air and fold it regularly. Against foam futons and folding mattresses, it trades cushioning and convenience for dense all-cotton construction and a replaceable cover.

Owners describe a genuinely firm, dense cotton futon that feels like a traditional Japanese bed rather than a soft mattress topper. Most praise the build and the cover; the common complaints are the firmness and the upkeep of airing and folding it.
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 core is filled with 100% American-grown cotton and wrapped in a 100% unbleached cotton duck cover. 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. It has a dotwork seikai ha pattern printed in white on solid olive green fabric.
The comfort level is firm. A shikifuton 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. Using it on a tatami mat allows proper air circulation.
