- Is a 6-inch floor mattress comfortable enough to sleep on?
- For back and stomach sleepers and short-term use, yes. Side sleepers and anyone needing deep cushioning will likely find it firm, since there is no spring layer underneath.
- How does it compare with a traditional Japanese futon?
- Traditional shikibuton are usually 2 to 3 inches thick and cotton-filled. This one is 6 inches, so it is softer and closer to a thin mattress than a true folding futon.
- Can the cover really be washed?
- Yes, the cover is removable and washable. Expect to spend some effort zipping it off and working it back over the pad.
- What size is it?
- It is Twin: 75 inches long and 39 inches wide, 6 inches thick. That fits one adult sleeper.
- Does it need a frame or tatami mat underneath?
- It works directly on the floor, but a tatami mat or rug helps with airflow and keeps it from sliding on hard floors.
- When is the best time to buy it?
- Floor mattresses tend to dip during back-to-school and winter holiday sales. Check the price history before buying rather than assuming a listed discount is real.
