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

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 ditsy sakura floral print on vibrant red fabric. Visit our blog to learn more about the significance of cherry blossom flowers in Japanese culture.

Futon Firmness

The J-Life Shikifuton is available in two thicknesses: a popular 4-inch option and a more traditional 3-inch. Firm sleep surfaces, like that of a Japanese style floor mattress, help to improve sleep posture, resulting in rewarding sleep and pain-free mornings. Comfort level is firm.

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.

Use our guide below to find the coordinating tatami mat size for your shikifuton:

*King size futons are made by placing two Twin XL futons side-by-side.

J-Life Japanese Mattress Sizes

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.

Visit the J-Life Blog to find our Shikifuton Care Guide, FAQs, and more product resources.


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.

Beautiful beds

We have had a bed from you for 2 years and we just ordered 2 more for our kids. I love how good they have been for our bodies and the flexibility of where you can move your bed in the home. The covers are high quality and worth the cost. My only complaint was it took almost a month to get them. We are moving this week and I was getting nervous they wouldn't be here in time.

Legit Best Mattress

I only got a japanese futon because a friend of mine swore by them. Ended up being totally worth it. I feel better when I wake up, its way more comfortable than it looks. And for people that are okay with folding it every day, you get a lot of extra space.

Almost Perfect!

Sleeping on the Shikifuton has been so amazing and comfortable, I was not disappointed by it. I only wish the fabric of the cover was more resilient, after removing it from the futon one or two times I noticed the stitching (not the actual fabric) was slowly ripping. But overall, it’s a great experience!

Nice futon

Wonderful bed, exceeded my expectations. The only thing offputting was the smell when the futon originally arrived. I let the futon air out outside for a few days before I used it. It appears very puffy when you first get it, but the cotton eventually flattens out a bit.
