Our take on the The Futon Shop Japanese Organic Cotton Shiki Futon Shikibuton

The Futon Shop Japanese Organic Cotton Shiki Futon is a traditional floor futon made from layered organic cotton in an organic cotton shell, with no wool, foam or synthetic fill. It comes in a 3-inch firm version or a 5-inch version with more cushion, and it is handcrafted in San Francisco with lace tacking. It is designed to lie on the floor, a tatami mat or a platform frame, and it rolls up for storage. The 5-inch King weighs about 60 lbs of fill, so expect a heavy, dense mattress.

Questions and answers

Is the 3-inch or 5-inch version better?
The 3-inch is a firm, minimalist floor mat for people used to traditional shikibuton. The 5-inch adds cushion and suits side sleepers or anyone who wants more give.
Does it work on a bed frame?
Yes, on a slatted platform frame or tatami mat. It is not meant for a box spring or a soft mattress underneath.
How do I care for an all-cotton futon?
Air it in the sun and rotate it regularly, and fold or knead the cotton to restore loft. Spot clean the shell; the cotton fill should not be washed.
Is it good for side sleepers?
The 5-inch version is the better fit, but the medium-firm cotton surface is still firmer than most foam mattresses. Very pressure-sensitive side sleepers may find it too hard.
What is in the box?
The organic cotton shiki futon mattress only. A tatami mat, platform frame or floor space is not included.
When is it cheapest?
Watch for seasonal sales and holiday promotions, and compare the 3-inch and 5-inch prices by size. The larger sizes carry the most fill and the highest price.
