Review on High-Grade FULI Shiki Futon (Shikibuton) - Traditional Japanese Twin Floor Mattress, Made in Japan by Ashley Varela

I suffer from severe back pain due to the usual fluffy mattress on my bed. I tried this product directly on a Japanese style carpet and found that the pain went away! This may be because I am originally Japanese and living in the US, but you may not feel any strain on your body if you turn on it while sleeping as it is firm to support your body while doing so. A fluffy mattress requires more body movement to change sleeping position and leads to what is known as back pain. There are similar Shiki Futons on Revain, but most of these are not made in Japan. I recommend using anything made in Japan as they are always well designed and thought out with the end user in mind.
