Space-Saving Japanese Futon Set (Futon Mattress, Comforter & Pillow) Compact-Twin, Made in Japan, Foldable Floor Sleeping Mattress Shikibuton Tatami Mat Camp Guest-Use

I decided to get rid of my bed and to get a Japanese futon to sleep on. It took me a while before I finally decided to buy it. I wish I would have bought it sooner. I originally had a foam mattress from IKEA that lost its form over time and was no longer comfortable and was causing back pain. I wanted to buy a new bed but I wanted something cheaper and smaller than the queen size I had. This set ended up being a great buy for me. I put my futon on a hardwood floor. So it feels extra firm with some cushion. Firm beds are my personal preference. So this feels great on my back and I've been waking up early with more energy every day because I no longer have pain in my back. The pillow is very firm. The comforter is very fluffy, almost as much as the futon. If you want your bedding to be soft you will need to buy TWO FUTONS and use a regular pillow. One by itself on a hardwood floor will be very, very firm. It might be softer on carpeting but I only have hardwood floors and can't confirm that. I'm also six feet tall and it still feels comfortable. I'm considering buying the one that's 83 inches long, just for a little more foot space. Overall this was an amazing purchase.

I love my futon. It's very comfortable. It seems to trap heat within without overheating you into a sweat. I've used normal blankets and felt cold or heavy comforters and felt too warm but with my futon, it feels just right. It's winter here and quite cold outside but I don't feel it. The space I save from not having a bed and folding up my futon and tatami mattress and putting them away really makes my room easier to move in and clean. Edit: Cleaning the shikibuton (bottom) is a little tough. Since I was in a situation where I needed to clean it, I asked a question https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx2SJUN9QLBOILC/ref=ask_ql_ql_al_hza before I went and used the internet's collective know-how to the best of my ability. With luck, I was able to minimize the damage to a small corner and since then, I was using multiple sheets to keep it clean before I found a proper cover for it. As the seller said, you really shouldn't try to clean the shikibuton and I recommend saving up enough to buy a cover alongside the set. It's also important to keep in mind the tatami mattress flooring also helps keep your shikibuton (and cover) clean by guarding it from the floor (includes defending against any sharp objects that you may have missed while cleaning or overlooked; ie: thumbtacks, glass, staples, etc.). This is my first traditional Japanese futon. I only use my futon with a tatami mattress. Review after 17 days of use. Edit: 54 days now and I still agree with my sentiments above. Edit: It's Feb 2, 2022, 2 years after the original review and I still agree with my sentiments above.

I wasn't sure about tossing my mattress out for a Japanese futon, specially because I am pregnant. We bought our mattress years ago and was ok but after i started my second trimester I started experiencing severe back pain. This comes from a person who hasn't had back issues. So I was a bit concerned and blamed it on the pregnancy. It got so bad that getting out of bed was torture so I did some research and found that there are great benefits by sleeping on the floor. My husband bought me this futon and it came out flat, as expected, and you NEED to let it rest in the sun for approximately 2 hours on each side. The futon got really fluffy and I sleep much better wake up earlier. I don't have trouble getting off and up from the floor. It does take some time getting used to. It took me less than a week but I'm sure it depends on the person. I have cats who seem to want to destroy everything I love and cherish so I was worried they were going to rip this futon open. For some reason, my most evil cat won't get near it. She just sleeps next to me but never gets on it. Weird but great!

As described and well made

This bedding set is very soft of texture, the kakebuton (comforter) is very warm (I'm a very cold-natured person) and comfortable, not too heavy. The pillow is not super plump, but its not flat as a pancake either. I am giving just 4 out of 5 stars due to the fact that the shikibuton (mattress part) is too thin for me personally. I used to love firm mattresses, but seem to need super soft squishy ones now. If firm is what you need, this set is perfect; you can even include a 3-4 inch foam mattress under it, if needed. If you need something very soft and squishy to protect hips and other joints, I would not recommend this set unless you put it on top of a very, very thick, squishy foam mattress.

I had high hopes for this bed as I remember sleeping on a similar style bed when I lived in Korea and this product had great reviews. It was shipped in a box that was really a little too small for it and packaged in a large bag similar to a thin, cheap, trash bag. When I laid the bed it or was already flat and nothing like the pictures shown. I own feather bed mattress toppers that provide more support. This was disappointingly poor in quality and I’m returning the product.

寝心地は良いです!! 今まではマットレスで寝ていましたが、こちらに変えても違和感なしです。 3点セットで、オールインワンなので、新しく１人暮らしなどをはじめるときに これをワンセット用意すればいいのではないかと思います。 敷き布団も、掛け布団も、枕もそれぞれがデザインも統一されていて良いです。 もう少し個人的には枕の高さが低い方が良いかなとは思いましたが。 敷き布団はウレタンなので、寝心地はマットレスと変わらないです。 白なので汚れが目立つかな？とは思いますが、実用性が高いと思います。

Lol aint no matress , more like a double blanker

The quality of the futon itself was splendid. There were tiny brown dots on parts of the futon (that was probably due to shipping) but that didn’t bother me. It’s been helpful for someone like me, who has a back problem. I highly recommend this to anyone who’s buying a futon for the first time!

縦に少しだけ短いのが欲しく、布団屋とかでもこのサイズはなかなか無くて助かりました。 値段もリーズナブルなので傷んだらリピートします。

Comfortable, good quality, exactly what you'd expect from a futon.
