Many people in Japan still sleep on a futon on top of tatami mats. In the West, a futon is usually a sofa bed, but a Japanese futon is very different.
A futon consists of two parts: a shikibuton and a kakebuton. The shikibuton is the mattress, and the kakebuton is the quilt.
We import limited quantities of quality futon from Kobe and sell them all in sets or individually.
These are the only futon sold in Australia that are made in Japan.
The shikibuton and kakebuton both come individually stitched (quilted) and therefore, need to be covered. The shikibuton (mattress) can easily be covered using a fitted sheet. The kakebuton can either be covered with one of our cotton/mesh covers or you will need to use your own quilt cover. You never sleep directly on, nor beneath these as they will need to be dry-cleaned.

We don't sell the tri-fold foam mattresses that some people put futon on. These are too bulky and freight is too expensive.
WE GUARANTEE OUR FUTON ARE NOT CONTAMINATED
Some of our local/Chinese-made 'futon'-supplying opposition are trying to scare customers into believing that everything from Japan is contaminated.
