The J-Life Shikifuton is a Japanese-style floor mattress made in the US to traditional Japanese specifications. It was developed with shikifuton craftsmen in Japan. It has no foam, wool or innersprings, and its firm sleep surface is meant to support good sleep posture.
The mattress has an unbleached cotton duck cover and is filled with 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 in 100% cotton fabric imported from Japan. The cover is cut to fit the mattress snugly and has a faded white stripe pattern on navy.
Use the shikifuton 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 helps air circulate.
