THE J-LIFE ALL-NATURAL SHIKIBUTON: 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, our futon 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 made from pure cotton. The J-Life Shikifuton has no wool, foam or innersprings. The cover is 100% unbleached cotton duck. The fill is also made from 100% American-grown cotton batting for comfort and natural air-flow. In addition, this authentic Japanese futon meets US fire retardant standards by using a natural boron material.
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.
Scroll through the product images to find the tatami and futon size guide, which shows the appropriate tatami mat size options for your shikifuton.
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.

The J-Life Shikibuton mattress can also be ordered with a custom removable cover. We also offer a Shikifuton Protective Cover for extra protection against dirt and moisture.

Ships within 24 hours (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.

Nice to sleep on. Works great with a queen size tatami mat. Been sleeping on it every night for a couple of weeks. Best for sleeping on the back. Not as great for side sleeping. Best to beat the thing everyday after sleeping. Helps to fluff it up or it gets matted down
Thank you Tristen!
One week in and I'm sleeping great!
I love our new mattress and have been sleeping so well on it for the last week and a half. The cover for the mattress doesn’t seem anything special for the price; we will see how it holds up/I hope it lasts awhile because it was not cheap for essentially sheet material. I am giving 3 stars for the mattress cover. But I would give 5 for the actual Japanese futon mattress. Thanks! Also, I do really enjoy the small buckwheat pillows we received..the smell is so nice and the material on the pillow is very nice and glad there were many colors and patterns to choose from.
Felt more energetic in am
