The J-Life Shikifuton is a Japanese-style floor mattress made to traditional Japanese specifications by an American manufacturer. It has no foam, wool or innersprings. The filling is 100% American-grown cotton inside a 100% unbleached cotton duck cover. Naturally derived boron is used as the 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 yellow-orange fabric.
The sleep surface is firm. A Japanese futon mattress 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. Pairing it with a tatami mat allows proper air circulation.
