- Is a latex shikibuton better than a cotton one?
- Latex is springier and keeps its shape longer, while cotton is lighter and breathes better. Choose latex for firm support and cotton if you sleep hot or want an easier fold.
- Can I use it on a bed frame?
- Yes, on a slatted base or platform that lets air circulate. Avoid solid surfaces that trap moisture under the latex.
- How do I care for it?
- Air it out regularly, rotate it, and keep it dry. A washable cover and occasional sunning help control moisture and odor.
- Is it good for side sleepers?
- At about 4 inches it is thin, so side sleepers may feel pressure on hips and shoulders. Back and stomach sleepers usually adapt better.
- Does it come with a cover?
- Check the listing for the included cover, since shikibuton are often sold with or without one. A removable, washable cover makes upkeep easier.
