The J-Life Shikifuton is a Japanese-style floor mattress made in the USA to traditional shikibuton specifications. It is a solid slab of 100% American-grown cotton inside an unbleached cotton duck shell, with no foam, wool or innersprings, and it comes with a removable zippered cover in imported Japanese cotton. It is firm and thin by Western mattress standards, so it suits back sleepers, minimalists and anyone who wants a bed that folds away or sits on tatami. Against foam futons and innerspring mattresses it trades cushioning for support and breathability, and owners of real shikibutons tend to rate its construction as close to the Japanese original.

Owners who know shikibutons describe it as a genuine, well-built cotton futon that is firm and supportive, and they like the removable Japanese fabric cover. The common complaints are the break-in period, the firmness for side sleepers and the upkeep a cotton futon demands.
The J-Life Shikifuton is a Japanese-style floor mattress made to traditional specifications by an American manufacturer. It has no foam, wool or innersprings. The mattress has an unbleached cotton duck cover and is filled with American-grown cotton. Naturally-derived boron is used as the fire retardant.
It comes with a handmade, zippered removable cover designed to fit the mattress snugly. The cover is 100% cotton fabric imported directly from Japan, in a white and blue dragonfly pattern on navy. The firm sleep surface is meant to support sleep posture.
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. Pairing it with a tatami mat allows proper air circulation. Because of compression in packing and shipping, it may arrive smaller than full size and needs 1 to 2 weeks to expand.
