The Shiki Futon is a traditional Japanese floor mattress, hand-quilted in Kyoto and stuffed with 100% cotton. It is a single 2.5-inch plush layer sized Twin-Long at 39 by 83 inches, so it suits one adult or a growing child. It folds for daytime storage, which makes it useful in small rooms, guest setups and tatami-style bedrooms. Against foam and spring mattresses it offers far less support and no edge structure, so it is best for back and stomach sleepers who like a firm floor feel or for occasional use rather than heavy daily support. Owners rate it very highly, and the recurring praise is for the cotton fill and the hand-quilted build.

The Art of Restorative Sleep: Gently Unwinding Body and Soul
The Shiki Futon (Shiki Buton) is a traditional Japanese, hand-quilted mattress filled with 100% pure cotton. Placed directly on the floor or tatami at night, it offers a simple yet deeply restorative way to sleep. During the day, it can be easily folded and stored away—restoring a sense of openness and flexibility to your living space.
At Takaokaya, we believe that quality sleep is essential to everyday well-being. Each Shiki Futon is individually handmade in Kyoto by our skilled artisans, using time-honored techniques passed down through generations.
Great care is taken during the stuffing process, as it defines both the comfort and the longevity of the futon. In the hands of our artisans, layers of cotton are arranged with gentle precision—shaped and balanced one by one to create a surface made for rest. Special attention is given to the center, where the body’s weight naturally settles; here, cotton is thoughtfully layered to provide balanced support for a deeply comfortable night’s sleep.
What remains unseen is often where the most time is spent. It is this devotion to the hidden details that transforms a futon into something more—a sanctuary where the body releases, the mind softens, and true Kutsurogi begins.
