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 comes with a beautiful removable cover in 100% cotton imported from Japan 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, talked to shikibuton master craftsmen in Japan and developed the design of the J-Life Shikifuton.

True to Japanese custom, our futon is made from pure cotton. The J-Life Shikifuton has no wool, foam or innersprings. The shikifuton mattress uses Boron as a fire retardant.

The custom zippered removable cover fits over the 100% unbleached cotton duck mattress cover. The custom removable cover is made of high quality 100% cotton fabric imported directly from Japan and features traditional patterns.

The J-Life Shikifuton is available in two thicknesses, a four inch and a more traditional 3 inch. (In Japan, new shikibuton are about 3 inches thick. Our more popular 4 inch futon is made to accommodate the larger frames of American sleepers.)

Comfort level is firm. Click here for shikifuton care instructions.

Please allow 5 to 7 days for production before shipping (excluding weekends and holidays).

The J-Life Shikifuton is also available without a custom removable cover.

FUTON SIZES

J-Life Shikifutons are sized to fit American bed frames. Please note that Japanese style shikifutons are not meant for American futon frames. They require a flat solid surface such as a platform bed or tatami or floor.

 

Pair your shikifuton with a tatami mat to ensure proper air circulation and to provide added comfort. Our tatami mats are the perfect base for a Japanese mattress.

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

High quality!

Before purchasing, I researched quite a few places from which to buy a shikibuton. After spending time in Japan, I couldn't get comfortable on a western style mattress. I needed something firmer, lower to the ground. J-life got the most optimistic reviews that I had seen and gave them a shot. (So many traditional patterns to choose from!) The quality of the mattress itself is top-notch! Reminds me of my time in Shibuya. The cover is tough, too! It never feels like it's going to fall apart on me, no matter how often it folds for the day. It came with instructions on how to care for the mattress and everything - just as I began to ask myself about proper handling and washing ettiquette, I found a neat few sheets of paper packaged in the same box. So far, so good. When I purchased this shikibuton, I already had a comforter, but the quality was so high, it inspired me to also purchase a kakebuton with cover. A+ job, seriously. I love the fresh cotton smell (even though my fiancee isn't as crazy about it, it'll dissipate quickly, especially if I left it outside to sun). The only thing some people may night like is, if you're sensitive to coarse materials, the outer sheet could *potentially* feel a little rough, but for me it was only noticeable when folding it over and carrying it to my closet shelf.

Comfy Cozy

My 3" shikifuton is so nice to sleep in. The material is so high quality and pleasant to the touch. My one concern is the slight sinking in support from the cotton in the hip area after one night of sleep, but so far it doesn't seem to be a big issue. Also, the people at JLife were very responsive when I contacted them, which is always nice.

Surprised how much I like it.

A little on the hard size, which I like but a bit much for my partner. We ordered a mat to put below it. I may have been happier with the thinner version which would be easier to store. The firmness doesn't bother me and I really like the smell.
