Like sleeping in Japan!
Made to painstaking traditional Japanese specifications by an American manufacturer, the J-Life Shikifuton offers the ultimate comfort of a true shikibuton. This authentic Japanese futon comes with a beautiful removable cover in 100% cotton imported Japanese fabric, as pictured.
THE J-LIFE SHIKIFUTON IS AN AUTHENTIC JAPANESE FUTON
Years ago, we decided to offer Americans a true Japanese style mattress; one constructed of quality materials, without foam or innersprings - pure and simple. So, we deconstructed Japanese shikibutons, worked with master shikifuton craftsmen in Japan, and developed the design of the J-Life Shikifuton. Now, over 20 years later, the J-Life shikifuton is a trusted choice for those looking for a reliable, authentic Japanese style sleep experience.
All-Natural Materials
All-Natural Materials
True to Japanese custom, our futon is composed of a pure, 100% unbleached cotton duck cover, filled with 100% American-grown cotton. The J-Life Shikifuton has no wool, foam or innersprings. In accordance with US fire retardant standards, our shikifuton mattress uses naturally-derived boron as a fire retardant.
The custom zippered removable cover is designed to snugly fit our Japanese mattress. Each custom removable cover is handmade of high-quality, 100% cotton fabric imported directly from Japan that features traditional Japanese patterns.
This futon cover features a white shippo pattern on navy fabric. You can learn more about this traditional Japanese pattern on our blog.
J-Life Futons & Tatami Mats
J-Life Futons & Tatami Mats
Traditionally, a Japanese futon mattress is intended for use on a flat solid surface, such as a tatami mat, floor, or platform bed. While J-Life Shikifutons are sized to fit American bed frames, please note that they are not meant for American style futon frames. Pair your shikifuton with a Japanese tatami mat to ensure proper air circulation and to provide added comfort.
Scroll through the product images to find the tatami and futon size guide, which shows the appropriate tatami mat size options for your shikifuton.
The J-Life Shikibuton mattress can also be ordered without a custom removable cover. We also offer a Shikifuton Protective Cover for extra protection against dirt and moisture.

Please allow 5 to 7 days for production before shipping (excluding weekends and holidays).
Please Note: Due to compression caused by the packing and shipping process, futons may be smaller than their actual size upon delivery. Please allow your shikifuton at least 1-2 weeks to expand to its actual size.
Made in the USA with American-grown cotton and imported authentic Japanese fabric.

The futon was a blessing for my back and the pillow very uniquely good 👍 i am glad i bought the whole set thank you guys
Shikifuton is very comfortable after 3 months. But the cover, which is attractive, is very scratchy and irritated my skin on legs and arms.
I love the cover, beautiful, soft and well made. After the first night I knew this bed was going to change my life. It has been just over a month since I switched and I feel wonderful! Certainly not for everyone, but I was sleeping on bed far too soft and had not realized the pain it was causing. Don’t know till you try. Glad I did.
I purchased a full size futon for my 18mo twins. They love it and it's comfortable. Well worth the purchase.
