This is a Japanese futon mattress, also called a shikifuton, handcrafted in Tokyo, Japan. The cover is 100% cotton with a Kikumon Japanese chrysanthemum pattern. It is made without flame retardants, pesticides, or adhesives.
The cotton filling is layered and filled by hand. After layering, each mattress is sewn closed by hand. Hand-tufting, done with traditional Japanese techniques, helps hold the filling in place as it gradually settles with use. A corner tie helps hold the filling near the corners.
It is designed for floor sleeping, tatami mats, and low platform beds.
