Japanese Floor Futon Mattress

This floor mattress is so comfortable- I think it is more comfortable than a typical bed or sofa for sleeping. I would recommend using a waterproof mattress protector and fitted sheet (regular full size fits the full mattress) as a cover. For a while I used to try to always use the slip cover (the zipper one that covers both sides) but it is too much of a pain in my opinion, especially if you are frequently changing the linens for young kids. I lay this atop a wool rug, and fold it up during the day. The full size easily folds into quarters and it can be stored behind a sofa. If you have a double bed it can also be stored as a topper. It’s a super comfy spot to watch movies and also great extra bed. I put it out in the sun sometimes to air it out. I have had three of these over years and can vouch for this model and brand. My cats also love it, we went without one for a short bit and they were so excited when the new one came in. The only downfall and reason I have had to repurchase is if you have pets or kids that have accidents- it is somewhat cleanable with an upholstery vacuum and enzyme cleaner along with sunning but at a certain point I just say ‘enough’ and replace it.

I feel that this futon needs an actual review. I have slept on this futon for about 3 weeks now and I tell you what, it is as comfortable as any mattress I've had that is fairly firm. BACKGROUND ON ME: I slept on a brick for a mattress for 8 months and then a ridiculously soft mattress for 2 weeks after that prior to sleeping on this futon and sleeping on a soft mattress killed my back but I became accustomed to it quickly. I was moving into a very small space and since I'm in college I'll be moving at least once or twice more, and one of those possibly being overseas so compactness and versatility is definitely necessary. MY SLEEP EXPERIENCE: Having adjusted to a soft mattress prior to sleeping on this meant that I was definitely in for an adjustment period. It didn't take very long to adjust to it and I still find myself sleeping on my side and it's no less comfortable than sleeping on my back or stomach, though this is likely due to the fact that I have a firm side-sleeping pillow. I find myself getting very restful sleep and as much as I'm afraid of bugs, since you need to take good care of the flooring you place the futon on I don't feel concerned about bugs. FUTON QUALITY: It's very thick, I think I would've had issues sleeping on my side had I purchased the Rococo version of this futon. It's very nice thick cotton and it folds very easily, especially since it came folded in the package it arrived in. Even though it folds, there's really no noticeable fold flattening where the cotton kind of thins because its been folded so many times. YOUR OPTIONS: So there are other options on the futon market, there's the J-life shiki-futon which in my opinion looks like the cotton is going to flatten out or get all moved around inside and become bumpy in places. The Tuft & Needle mattress, I feel, can no longer be listed as a futon mattress, it is far to wide to fold and was never really meant to be a tri-fold mattress of any sort. I can easily see this futon mattress from EMOOR lasting several years if not many if you take care of it right (If I remember it, I'll come back at a later date and update how the quality is holding up). MY OPINION: I spent almost 4 months trying to determine what/which futon mattress to buy because I knew I wanted to move either cross-country or across the world and with a futon I could take it with me more easily than a traditional mattress. It also makes moving apartments way easier! All that being said, I think if you're set on buying a futon because they're just awesome and space-saving, save yourself the time and frustration of decision-making and get this. I feel like I'm sleeping more restfully now because I'm not sleeping on a mattress that is a brick but also not sleeping on jello. PS: It will say that it's going to take a month to arrive or longer but EMOOR used expedited international shipping so I got it in just under 2 weeks. Below is the mattress cover I purchased, it's more expensive than a normal fitted sheet but it has a zipper closure and is very nice, it has a wonderful clean cotton-y feel and keeps both sides of my futon off the floor and more resistant to any mites or bacteria on the floor.

I just received my mattress after ordering 5 days ago. It came in a large Amazon box and two inner packaging to protect the mattress. I ordered this mattress for a self built camper van. After opening the mattresses I was very pleasantly surprised as this mattress had quality written all over it. The mattress expanded immediately and I couldn’t wait so I did a quick test by laying down on it. I have a very quality expensive mattress for my bedroom an this tatami mattress felt like heaven. I wanted to sleep on it right away, but knew I had to air it out. There is not order, just normal as if you were opening a package of clean sheets. I don’t a good review for a product often as I seldom come across a product that WOW’s me to this extent. But for the price, this was satisfaction and beyond. I was begrudgingly hesitant about paying for shipping. But after seeing the Amazon driver lug this to my door and seeing the care they took and cute little thank you for buying our product, the cost of shipping was worth it. Can’t wait to put to use in my Ford Transit camper van! I hear people with camper vans complain about their bed and how uncomfortable it is, hmm I guess they should give this product a try. I’ll come back and change my review once I get about a gold month of sleep on it. But if it’s this luxurious and comfy right out of the box, I don’t think I will. Remember, home is where you park it! Travel well, leave nature how you found it and respect the wildlife as it’s their plant/home too!

Great mattress. Compared to a full, normal mattress, it's pretty thin. But it's still a decent thickness compared to what I was expecting; plus it's easily foldable and can be packed away. I find it comfortable enough on top of a tatami mat, but I'm looking for a pretty firm base to sleep on. Most importantly, it's a good quality product. Customer service is excellent! My initial package was stolen and the Emoor team was very proactive about arranging a free replacement. I really appreciated their generosity, politeness, and responsiveness.

追記:2018年の頃に購入した時は6000円半ばの値段でしたが、値上がりしたんですね。 床敷きで使っています。買った初日から薄くて寝心地が悪いマットレスでした。 安さとレビューの多さで買ったのが間違いでした。圧縮タイプでしたが、非圧縮タイプでも大して変わらないと思います。 開封してしまいましたが、本当は返品返金をしてほしいぐらい後悔しています。 安物買いの銭失いとはこのことだと思いました。次にマットレスを買う時は必ず多少高くても我慢して、厚みがある物を買おうと思います。

Five stars? It is deserved. Beautifully finished, soft and comfortable. Easy to accommodate it to anywhere in the room. Japanese product that you are never regret to buy one.

値段は安いですが、商品に関して安っぽさはありません。 厚みと適度な硬さがあり安眠できます。 耐久性もよさそうです。 しかも軽いです。 ○○キとかで売っている安いけど最悪品質の中国製とは比べ物にならないと思いますよ。 このメーカーの良心を感じます。 ほめ過ぎかな。 兎に角他のレビューを信じて購入しましたが大当たりでした。 ついでにカバーもこちらのメーカーのものを購入しましたがしっかりしたものでとてもよいです。 敷布団と値段が大して変わりませんがｗ。

(I know my bedroom is messy) I have slept on the floor practically my whole life. So I am not new to it. Previously used to sleep on a sponge, then tried memory foam but I find both make me sweat. This shikifuton is cool, easy to hang out to air and fluff. It has not lost its cushion. However I am sleeping on a carpeted floor with thick underpadding. So it helps. And because I sleep on the floor, I always had carpet in my bedrooms. I don’t know what it’s like on hardwood. I love my shikifuton. I recommend it to friends and family. It beats buying an expensive mattress and bed frame, not to mention the space a bed takes up, and how heavy it is to transport. I just roll up my shikifuton futon and put it in a laundry hamper to put out of the way. I have a whole couch set in my bedroom and I just move the coffee table and roll out my shikifuton to sleep. It’s great to align your back. I wake up refreshed as opposed to before when I used a mattress. I bought the large twin size 2 yrs ago for about $350. I would 100% buy it again.
