Our Traditional Japanese Shiki Futon are made from layers of organic cotton and encased in an organic cotton twill fabric. They are made for use on the floor, tatami mat or platform bed frame. Breathable and lightweight, these Organic Cotton Shiki Futons are designed to be rolled up and stored away when not in use.
You can customize your comfort by layering two or more shikibutons on top of each other. This can provide a softer sleeping surface. Organic Cotton is a natural, renewable, biodegradable and sustainable fiber. Cotton breathes, so it stays cool, is never itchy, and it's grown pesticide free, and free of any harmful chemicals.
Available with organic ticking
*A shiki futon is designed with natural fibers and should be placed on tatami mats, tatami beds, or on a coir pad for best performance.
The Shiki Futon Mattress needs to be routinely aired out, flipped over and rotated. We recommend placing a coconut coir pad or Tatami mat underneath the mattress while in use, not directly on the floor, to create ideal airflow and prevent mildew and mold.

Federal law requires mattresses to meet federal fire safety standards (16 CFR Part 1633) . All Cotton mattresses may contain less than 1% total weight naturally occurring boron compounds to meet this requirement. Otherwise wool is a natural fire retardant so no boron is used in any of our mattresses or futons with wool.
To order this mattress without boron we require a prescription from a licensed healthcare professional.
